    2004 target UAI

    I'm aiming for about 84 that would be nice. Though higher 80's would be great. That's all I need to do what I want to do so there ain't much point going into high 90's when I know I can't get it. Gemma

    My school won't show us our ranks

    special provisions...

    Yeah I know there's more than just 2 catergories but as far as I knew scribes only fit into those 2 (sorry if i'm wrong there) I know there's dietry things and blindness, and hearing categories too. Anyway what I meant is that they don't just give scribes because of illegible handwritting...

    special provisions...

    Yes I have a writter. However you won't just get it for bad handwritting unless it is either a medical or learning problem. There the only 2 categories it fits into (i think - correct me if i'm wrong) on the special provisions forms. Also there not meant to give you an advantages but to...

    Special Provisions

    Yeah I know it's irritating though. I'm trying to get them to at least give me a yr. 11 ancient student as they'll at least know how to spell most of it, but I can't have a yr.11 for trials i don't think cos they have preliminary's soon after. Yeah and I know it's sometimes really hard to...
