Re: OP Scores ?? What are they?
 

Thanks for the spreadsheet!

Far too little info in tables though. I would like to see how many students achieved op1, op1-5, op6-10, op11-15 etc. The majority of Uni Courses require op's of 1-10 the highest (worse) op requirement I've seen was 17.

Looks like there's a good bit of fear in the education system which means the hard info will be very difficult to get hold of, except from individual school prospectuses if they choose to publish it.

Are there any secondary teachers on here who can tell us where to find a table including the info I mentioned above?

Arnie, I would alos be interested in seing the scores for OP 1-10.

Re: OP Scores ?? What are they?
 

Went to Hayley's school yesterday afternoon to get clarification of the Uni Application system and options if H doesn't get the course she wants.

Learnt a bit more about the OP scores shown in the QTAC Uni Course Guide....

It seems that each course has a pre-determined number of places allocated and students are then placed on the course starting from OP1. If the course numbers are met by the time they get to a student with say an OP of 9, that's the figure that ends up next to the course the following year - as a guide to the kind of grade which may be neccessary to get on the course during that following year. It isn't an OP number which Guarantees a place - just a guide.

It's a shame this system didn't end last year instead of this year, but no doubt its successor will be just as much a bureaucratic nightmare as this one is.

The 'good' news is that a year at TAFE or University will almost certainly give anyone with a bit of sense the OP score they need for the course they want, just a year and a few $$$$$ later :D

Good Luck
