stat is f*cked (2 Viewers)

[tennille]

how'd he do that

I'm not sure...I don't really talk to him often, but I know he did it. He probably payed his way in.

 

[notnownotever]

sure

no its not the uni's fault. The few people I kno that have done the RET/STAT have passed and did well. Its a fucken test. It would be the same if you did a STAT for other uni's. Its not a con, if you didnt think it was worth it, why do it.

If its like an IQ test, then its pretty much common sense. Dont blame th euni for ur stupidity. If u get a shit UAI, who u gonna blame? UAC?

most of the people are not stupid.... so it seems like someone is acting snobish... i can blame the uws, cause it is f*cked their fucked...... i will promise you that people who did shit in it will get a better uai than they expected.. it is contemptment to say that people are supid... is an outrage..

I'm assuming it is out of 100. The mark you received today was your overall mark. The UAC is going to send you separate marks for the essay and multiple choice.

hmmm i havent got my results yet, im anxious now so maybe ill get em 2morrow. I dont think i did to well now i think of it, nothing thats gonna help me anyways... dayem... ill post my results wen i get em so i can join in the bitchin lol... :-D

 

[notnownotever]

It is stupid to blame to uni for ur poor mark. All they do is set the test. If some people can get high marks, why can't you? It is contemptment to blame the uni. Bad sportsmanship

some people are suited to this type of test. for instance i'm suited to numbers... but calling people stupid.. c'mon its not just cricket.. u are critising people that u did shit and it is not.. this is a post for people such as my self to express there contemptment towards certain things... i blame the uni, for having a fucked up piece of testing to a greater extent level with a hsc.... the test suited be based on subjects not fucking multiple choice questiion like the last one about the family tree... so to the ret test once again fuck you and everyone please place your contemptment towards the Stat/ret5 test... do it for your 119.00 dollars that the uni took and most likely went to casino and put it all on black

 

[Cape]

seriously, get over it ... don't blame uws ... its not their fault that they made a test that wasn't suited to UR NEEDS and STRENGTHS! u should be greatful that uws offers a helping hand to get into uni if ur uai isn't good enough.

So shut up and leave uws alone!!!

 

[Cape]

Plus its not like a uni is going to make a specially designed exam just for u so u can get 100%.

 

[mishka]

doesn't UAC write the test and everything anyway?? UWS just uses the results for alternative entry...

 

[jess pollard 1]

hmm, just a question, 'cape' and 'natstar' did u do the STAT, and if so, how well did u do? just curious, i'd like it if u enlightened us all why you want to be so against our feelings, we're all entitled to our opinion and bitching, so for gods sake, we know it aint the uni's fault but when u get disappointing results its natural to want to blame something else, and in this case its the UNI.
in short- shut up

 

[Generator]

Bloody hell, can't someone make a valid complaint without being lynched by the 'do not criticise UWS' mob?

 

[Skeeta]

i finially got mine today - a day after everyone else in the wordl (so it seems)

i got 84, and i read this thread yesterday so i thort it was a fairly good mark... untill i thought about it... The mark i need to get into the course i want to do is 87.10... therefore my "good" mark of 84 is USELESS!! grr hehe

 

[notnownotever]

i wont stop bitching until i get my uai... so f**ken, f**k of a uni... make me waste 119 when i could of purchased and ordered halo 2....




down with STAT
natstar you did the test. i dont see the reasopn why you a criticising me and fellow bored of studies patrons... its totally disrespectfull.. if you did it, i would have 1 grain of care of that you did it and knows how it feels to do the test.. but you didnt.. i blame the uni.... and if you havent don't it yourself stop insulting others..c'mon

 

[notnownotever]

its always the uni's fault.. stupid test , increasing bloody hecs, lowering the entry marks for intl. students... come on.. it is clear and simple that the uni's have spoiled it, too an extent that people- locals can't get in

 

[tennille]

John Howard wants to increase the amount of international students that go to university, hence lowering the amount of locals that can get in. That is pathetic. Just imagine how difficult it would be for locals to get into university in a decade, let alone in a few years time.

 

[Generator]

International students are enrolled in addition to the local students, not in place of.

I heard that he wants to decrease the amount of local students getting in. I dunno...I might be wrong...

 

[ChrisE]

you guys should be lucky you had the opportunity to take the test. i though the money was due on the thursday when it was on the monday, brought it in one day late and they said no despite it being 8 hours late. i got over it in a day.

No, i didn't do the stat test ... only cause the course which i did was in the very low 60s, so there was really no point.

 

[Zarathustra]

I was quite pleased with my STAT result, it is much higher than what I predict my UAI to be and may be a valuable safety net.
People sit the test (created by UAC not UWS - which tests the academic potential of an individual, something hard to define and definitley not fixed and almost impossible to test) they are ranked.
This is a great scheme by UWS and I wish other universities did it, instead of just using it for mature entry. This has improved my perception of UWS and I may end up going there...
All that this test is is an alternate entry into university, if you want to pay your way in - be a full-fee paying student.... (no offence to those students )
