2012 Extension/Enhancement increment changes

From 2012 there will be changes to the way that Extension/Enhancement studies contribute to your ATAR calculation.

Instead of the old 4.0, 5.0 and 5.5 increment it will only be 10% of the average of your primary four studies.

See page 6 of the VICTER2013 for more details.

I agree that it sucks and reduces incentives to actually do well.

The 5.5 is quite fair since:
I have to travel, do 3 hr exams, prac after school, it's also examinable during VCE exams.
and makes you actually work for that 80%+...
average top 4 is stupidddd, they'll lose students lol
