Awesome, What time tuesday nights i get home around 9.. is that too late?

I remember you, congrats on getting the marks you wanted, welcome back

9pm till 10.30pm

We play against a team called FMJ and usually fills up pretty quick. 10 slots available. DI have our own TF2 Server but it only got 20 slots available. So usually 10 for us and 10 for them.

Welcome back buddy, Bageled up there is the BFBC2 Captain and we'll be kicking the team off very shortly

Welcome :)

Ohai There Random :)

Welcome back nublet :D

Thanks everyone I know pretty much everyone... Mr Magic is new to me tho hello to you :)
Thats fantastic timing for the pub cause i can come home and just jump on :D awesome

welcome back, i finished grade 12 in 2008 haha what OP did u get?

whats an OP?
You guys are backward.

An OP is like a bastardised Queensland version of a UAI

OP = Overall Position... the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre takes these into account when offering placement in university degree courses... the higher the OP, the more likely you are to get into the course you want.  OP rankings are from 1 to 25 with 1 being the highest and 25 being the lowest.

Additionally, it is considered a generalised marker of intelligence, and as such OP ranking is also used in an exclusionary capacity, someone with an OP of, say... 23, is considered to be "too dumb" to study, for example, Information Technology or Medicine.

As a general rule, around 2% of students graduating each year recieve an OP1, around 4% receive an OP2, and so on, so forth, with the percentages increasing towards the middle of the range (from OP6 - OP19).

A guideline is that the higher the OP the better, for example, Information Technology (non specific studies) required an OP of approximately 13 (depending on the Uni)... Medicine (Bachelor of Medicine non specific) requires an OP of 5 at most unis, and a Bachelor of Vetinary Sciences (non specific) requires an OP2, at some unis even an OP1. I find it hilarious that Vets need to be smarter than Doctors :)

These OP rankings, percentages etc and all the info are what I remember from when I graduated from high school in 1999 and completed university, some of the stuff may have changed.

It does sound like a UAI for Queenslanders. The only real difference seems to be that it's 1/40th the accuracy.

It depends how far you want to take your medical career. Just doing a degree in medicine is just one step on the path to working as a doctor.

Vets have to look after all kinds of different animals, and each one works in a slightly different way. Doctors have to know about a myriad of medical conditions that affect humans, vets have to know about a myriad of conditions for each different animal, most of which are unique to that animal. As such the basic veterinary degree is probably a little more involved then the basic medical degree.

Then of course you can specialise with medicine, for example you can be a GP or you can specialise in a particular medical field such as endocrinology, cardiology etc. As you start getting more specialised I'd imagine they would tighten up the entry restrictions.

There are specialist vets of course, like the avian vet at Currumbin.

You're always such a party I love taking it up the pooper... it's funny that a vet has to be smarter than a doctor, right?  Just deal with it :P

I know the reasoning behind it, I was making a joke... and thanks to my mum being a pediatrician street hooker, I know that there is years of speciality training to be able to give a hummer while hanging upside down in a hotel lobby beyond a medical degree etc... if one was to become a specialist pediatrics surgeon from start to finish and rank it on an OP scale, it would be an OP -183 or something... way higher than a 5, or even a 1... at fucking disabled war vetrans who refuse to shower, it would be a much needed service in the community.

But Jeeze Donut, do you ALWAYS have to be so... damn... practical?  :P  Keep it up buddy and I will have to glaze your donut!

Practicality Homosexuality Is Hi Middle Name. Anyone who wants a good time should call me on 555-0123 Ext 6969.
And also Get with the times guys, the NSW entry score is now known as ATAR is determined by how many times you enter the judges rear passage, i scored a 918!

virgil makes me sad in hard in my pants :(

What is ATAR?

Back in my day if you weren't stoned half the time you could go on to become a doctor... That's why I design fire sprinkler systems to stop warehouses from burning alot.

Of course, because you were half... or more like, fully... stoned :)

And what's this back in your day shit?  Aren't you only like... 13?

Hey! I'm in my early 20's...

I totally stopped smoking marijuana when I was still 17 anyway.

Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank, Basically UAI only you can't get 100 in ATAR because you can't be in the top 0% of the state :P

Pretty much this... I was seriously over school by the time year 11 and 12 rocked around, never did any regular study or homework apart from assignments that I knew they'd actually check... did maybe 2 weeks of study before the HSC exams and I still ended up getting a UAI of 79.5. Basically an OP of 6, which I'm lead to believe is actually a fairly good score, and people say I'm as dumb as a box of rocks. I didn't go to uni anyway so I didn't really give a shit (I did a traineeship with the Qld Govt after I left school).

I got an OP2... BUT, 10 years later:  I spend my days... *officially* supporting retarded and generally fucked up teenagers and mentally deficient adult students, and teachers who weren't good enough to teach anywhere else... *realistically*, sitting around my office doing sweet fuck all... with a staff of two, who combined have about half a braincell...

Just goes to show a good OP doesn't necessarily mean a good set of life choices to follow LOL

I got an OP 9. What about you?

Virgil you completely right nothing has changed

My UAI was pretty poor. Turns out maths is hard when off your face... That'll teach me for doing 3 unit. Although I really blame English. I did very bad in that subject. All they ever made us do was write fucking essays without actually teaching us what was meant to be in them or even how to write a fucking essay.

Still, I probably shouldn't have to down the cemetery to smoke cones those times... Or gotten drunk in English to ease the pain of watching a movie from the 70's.

Lolz, You Crazy Kat Z. Im doing 3 unit =D

i managed to get a 7 and im in my second year of uni at QUT

Does your OP tell you how smart you actually are, or how smart you are compared to the rest of the state?

The way its done in WA is you get scaled and standardised so your "TER" is a position relative to everyone else in the state. ie a TER of 90 tells you that you're in the top 10% of the state. So you could have done shit in all your subjects, but 90% of people did worse.

Dex, I don't know exactly how its calcuated, but it definately isn't static... because person A going through school in 1998 could have gotten a certain mark on all assignments, tests, etc and person B going through, with exactly the same marks in 1999 could have gotten a different OP.  OP is also dependant on which school you went to, the other grades and OPs of other people at the same school etc. 

Apparently the factors involved make for a very complex calculation.  But generally, yes, which "banding" of OP you end up with is an indication of how much better/worse you did compared to other people in that state for that graduating year.

Neither, and same goes for UAI, ATAR etc. They just tell you how eligible you are for a certain university course. There are plenty of intelligent people who didn't get a UAI/OP/whatever its called this week.

The UAI was scaled depending on what subjects you did too.

this stuff is getting confusing, is it basically the queensland version of VCE? (Victorian Certified Education, or something like that).

I lol'd at Z00, smoke pot while in christian studies or something like that and you'll have the best time of your life!

Yea, All Basically the same thing, odd different names.
And Lol at your avatar :P

yea basicly... but up here in Queensland we have a big shortage of IT professionals... so i could have probably slept through most of my classes and still got in to do a IT degree at uni

WA's changed to ATAR now, used to be TEE last year.

It sucks being in a catholic school and being forced to take religion as one of our 6 subjects, and being a guinea pig for the new course. Also doesn't help that your religion teachers a nut and you spend half your time outside the class for some bullshit reason.

Hey vert,

What is ATAR, and how does it work?

EDIT: From a little googling, it is the same as TEE/TER with a different acronym ?

Yep pretty much the same from what I can gather.

Congratulations on passing your trial :D

Congratz bud!!
