1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation. We jes.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: Down to the judging man as the pub test today

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: early university placements do they pass the pub test?

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, massive HSC change. There are a number of students,

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 3: tens of thousands of students who've been offered early placement

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 3: into universities. Not every university offers this for every course medicine, law, arts,

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 3: and number of courses doesn't don't have early placement, but

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 3: some universities offer this for a number of courses and

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: more students than ever have taken them up on this.

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 3: That takes the pressure of having them to perform as

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: well in your c You still have to sit for

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 3: the exams, you don't have to perform as well because

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: you've got early placement. So some are saying this dilutes

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: the HSC and that's not the way we want to

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 3: go either. The principle of Skegg's Girls School in Darlinghurst

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: has said that three quarters of her students have had

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: early offers and she thinks obviously they probably won't try

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: as hard in the exams. And she said university claim

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: they're trying to stop the stress on kids, but it's

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: a marketing tool. This is a competitive market they're trying

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: to lock in students and it takes away the whole

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: point of everyone sitting that same exam. So how do

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: you feel early placements for university they passed the pub test.

24
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it definitely does pass that pub test.

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: There's so much pressure and stress around the HC. Why

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 4: not let these can get an early entry and take

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 4: off a little bit of the load.

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I think so it had great idea and I

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 5: think it should be made a corporible course as many

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 5: people as possible, as well as they're ready.

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: I reckon early placement is wrong because I was in

32
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: a year where a lot of the people did poorly,

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: so the whole year did poorly, so I think it's wrong.

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: I think it does.

35
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 6: I think if they've shown aptitude and they've been accepted,

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 6: it shouldn't just be relying on the HC. So I

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 6: can't see a problem with it.

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 4: There you go.

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: Well, good luck to students sitting in the English Exam today.
