[edit] Criticisms
The OP is not an indication of how well the student has peformed in their senior studies, because it is how well you do in the QCS test, the system is biased and unfair.
This section is quite POV. Some elite private schools also tend to be better at fostering... for instance smacks of the elitism so common in Australian private schools. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aioth (talk • contribs) 16:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC).
- I agree it is POV, although I also believe the majority of year 12 students believe some of these rumours, and some are true, they are just exagerated. I've tried to explain the origins of some of the myths and explain the truth in them. Still POV though. --DanielBC 09:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

- Just for the record, I'm a year twelve student. We've received a lot of info about how our OP is calculated and I don't think there's anyone in my cohort who still believe either of the two Bias sections. Since these are refuted in the article, perhaps it's a good idea to stick them under "Myths" or something. --Aioth 04:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

- Does anyone have a problem with the removal of the Bias Toward Certain Schools section? It starts off equating large school to elite private schools, then elite private schools to any "elite" school. The whole basis for the paragraph is that schools receive OPs roughly proportional to the size of their student population. --Aioth 12:54, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] QCS IS A PAIN IN THE ASS
Who hates QCS??? Its so gay. Waste of my time, and primative.
[edit] others marks affect your op
It's not stated clearly, but other students in your school affect your final OP, whether up or down. How a system that does not base it's marks entirely and exactly on the merits and efforts, or lack therof, of individual students' work can be fair is beyone my comprehension.
Fairly, how can one persons A be worth more than anothers? Such is the way the OP system works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.222.113.68 (talk) 08:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
