AFAIK all australian state schools have their holidays split into four quaters,
Six weeks break over xmas/new year, two over april, two over june or july, then I think another two in september.

Then from there uni holidays are retarded and last for months at a time.

I gues that's kinda like ours.
Late August/Early September - Oct. /Nov. 1st 1/4
Oct./Nov. - mid December 2nd 1/4
3 weeks xmas break
id Jan- Late March/ early April 3rd 1/4
2 weeks spring break
Mid April - mid/late June 4th quarter
3 months til school starts

Our colleges I think have more liberal breaks as well.

Its not equivalent to the SATs, as it is run by the NSW Department of Education, though the marks are used by a different group to give you a UAI (University Admissions Index) which is just a rank for the people in NSW doing the HSC (Higher School Certificate), which Uni's use to determine what courses people are eligible to do.

Oh. So there really is no American equivalent. That's interesting. I hate standardized testing. Some say they work, some say they don't. I say they're just annoying.

Are you comparing holidays for colleges?

We get 1 month off after Christmas.
We don't get Election Day off.
We don't get 2 weeks of Spring Break, we get one.
Probably more like 2 months of summer vacation than 3.

I like to think of mid jun-july-august as 3 months even if it isn't.

umm, different type of consultant. not economic, more of a engineering type consultant, or even marketing. which product is best to produce, or given these failure rates, which will cost the company more, and which will lead to higher profits.

make sense?

My joke and I know it is kind sad LTSmash is how many people re in banking and business outta passion for the job and how many are in it for the passion for money? Or being forced into it by their parents? I think the same of people that go to med school.

IT does however seem that you have a genuine passion for the economy/business though which I think is a better motivator to join an industry than for financial reasons.

I suppose I am more of a dreamer and want people to pursue their dreams and learn for the sake of learning - I love university for that.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It was more of joke; everytime one of my friends or someone I know says thay want to go into consulting I bring that video up. It was just tongue and cheek stuff.

Growing up around it will do that to you.

i'm in what's called Operations Analysis. Essentially you take statistics, calculus, computer programming, modeling and simulation, and combine it all to run determine the potential outcomes of events. use this information to develop systems, decide budget allocation, and determine proper courses of action.

confused? me too.

military history is part of professional education. standard for this point of my career, and not affected by my masters.

Is any game theory built into this, or is it all considered to be a subset of it?

Are these exams the equivalent of British GCSE's or A-levels?
IF it's GCSE's then 7A*, 2A and a Distinction* in a Btec diploma, if its A-level then should be 5 A's by the end of the year. i have 7 exams in January to look forward to

And Game therory isn't too hard to grasp once you have had the initial concept explained its relatively simple just time consuming like most of the other algorithms in decision based math.
