You are indeed correct, Human Biology does count so that you don't have to do a mathematics subject. You don't even have to get a special pen. You can get an item that sits around the pen, and hold it that way. Its used all the time to help left-handed students hold the pen correctly. Hey, anythings cool so long as you like it, right? What do you do in the classroom during lunch?
Blake is a good poet, but he was a madman, lol. He wrote prophecies and basically thought of himself as God. Many of his poems have an element of the divine, ascribing some aspect of God. I like that poem because of the way it describes the beauty even in something like a killer tiger, yes? Beautiful and fierce.
If you'd like, I'll give you a rundown of how the TEE works:
TEE subjects are broken down into 2 lists; you must take at least one from each list, one of which must be an english subject. You must also take at least 4 TEE subjects. If you don't meet this, you can't get a Tertiary Entrance Score (TES).
In Year 12, some of the TES is gotten from your end-of-year results. If you do well in Year 12 but go bad in the TES exams, they assume you have been given easy marks, and actually reduce the mark you got in school. Do well in TES but bad in Year 12, they assume you've been harshly graded, and increase that mark. 50% of your TES comes from Year 12, 50% from the TES exams.
Your TES gets averaged out, so if you do 5 subjects, you get both a 4-subject average and a 5-subject average. The higher average is the one taken to calculate your Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER). A TER is your position relative to the other Year 12 TEE students. TER of 75.00 means you scored higher than 75% of other TEE students.
Basically, you decide what you want to study at university, you get the prerequisite subjects you must complete at Year 12 level, and then you get the pre-requisite Year 11 subjects for those Year 12 subjects. Simple, no?  |

Brilliant! Thank you! That does indeed make it a lot easier! Also very interesting about William Blake, and I agree about the poem.  Thanks again for explaining that to me, and for putting up with my, erm, not-knowing-anything-about-TEE-ness. Once more the English language appears to have escaped me! I swear that I must have a vocabulary that is similar in size to a grain of sand, or something equally as small. Brain not finding words so well right now!
Did you go onto further study after Year 12? Forgive me if that's a really dumb question.  How did you find the whole school experience in general?

I must have confidence in myself. This is where I get the feeling that I will pass all my tests.

| Me? lol, no, I'm dumb. Well, I did go to university for a year, but I failed miserably. I loved school, it was fun. My home away from home. Hey, come onto the chatroom sometime, Alli, if you're still awake this time of night. |

I have one more exam tomorrow. This is supposed to be the hardest of the three finals I have taken this year. I could just fold my hands right now. I hope to shout I do well!

What did you attempt to study? I went to
Deanza College in 1986-89, and took
25 units overall and was always on
Academic Probation. Is this your case?
I took G.E formal courses! |

I can do ok with exams assuming that they
are short and there's not to much distraction
going on around me. One thing I don't care
for too much in the college environment is
that on test day, it's do your test and leave.
When people start getting to turn in their tests
and leave, my anxiety level starts to go up
from people milling about in the class. I start
to loose the ability to stay focused on the test
and it becomes very hard for me to go on. I can
still finish the test, but I really need to put 110%
effort into it as things such as my thought process
and comprehension go out the window when the
anxiety begins to build. |
I can see why you contacted the (forgot name...)
board at school and get help on you Aspergers.
Anxiety is normal for exams, but in the autism
perspective it is not always beneficial in doing well.
Sincerely,
Ghosthunter |

Hmmm, I was doing a double degree in Physics and Computer Science. I was passing the Computer Science without effort, but I was unable to concentrate on doing the Physics aspect. I'm guessing it was the upheaval from my former routines, having to move into the city to live with my dad, to attend University. I latched onto my only interest still remaining from down home, and it became my perseveration for the next 3 years, to the exclusion of everything else. I was powerless to remove myself from that rut until about September last year. These days, I just wait for things to happen else continue in whatever rut I'm in at the moment. I'm in a good rut atm, so its not a bad deal. |

Ghosthunter:
I have taken an exam in parenting class, government class, and I just finished taking the state test for American history today. I know I passed government, and I think I passed parenting. About history, however, I am very unhappy to say these words, I cannot say. What I can say is that I gave it my best effort, and that is all a teacher can ask for.
I am a senior in high school, and I am going for my high school diploma. But, I take history with juniors and I am coming back next year to get all my requirements out of the way. Regardless, I am a smart person, and I will graduate no matter if I have a GPA that is passing by a slim margin.

I am glad your graduating. I didn't graduate
high school, but no regrets on that. I was getting
F's and D's in my junior year anyways!
What are these passable grades?

Anything below an F is passing, Ghosthunter.

I thought it was a "D" that was below average
and not acceptable?
Hmmmmm?
A = Exceeds Expectations @4.0 points
B = Excellent @3.0 points
C = Passing @2.0 points
D = below average and discrecinary? @1.0 points
F = FAILURE, and retake course???????
Hmmmmm? Please correct me if I am
wrong!
