hey ive also done the ret test and i put as one of my preferences education at UWS...Basically the RET test helps ur chances in getting a place at UWS...but the thing is ..the mark u get for ur RET must be higher than ur actual HSC mark...eg if u get 70 UAI and u get 65 for ur RET then it will be useless...also ur preference (education) i think u need about in the 80's rite?...that means u must get 70 UAI plus a RET score higher than ur HSC in order for u to get into teaching because it only gives u an extra 10 marks to get u into that course!...im not 100% but thats what ive gathered from teachers!

ret test

thanks so much for that. i understand it all now. its so much better in plain english than technical stuff.... my edu course is 84.3UAI so im guessing that means i have to get a ret score of 84.3 for me to use it right....?! lets hope so....
7 days to go... can you believe it? lol
thanks again

its an easy course.. you learn simple addition and subtractoin
2+3 = 5, stuff like that.. when u graduate you are equipted with an A+ knowledge of primary school maths/ english etc.. LOL
