Scared about getting trial marks back? (1 Viewer)

[lpodnano]

Got all my trial results bak:

Mod History: 79/100
Chemistry: 66/100
English Paper 1: 35/45
English Paper 2: 49/60
Math Extension 2: 107/120
Math Extension 1: 83/84

I'm so jealous of your Math marks.

dont be. my trial papers were definitely way easier than the independent past papers i did. the only reason i lost 13 marks in 4U was that my school put in some series questions which stuffed me up as i couldnt remember the sum of a geo series formula.

Annoying things that happened in my math exams:
- Silly mistakes.
- In my Math Ext 2 Independent Paper, I looked at question 1 and saw 12/15. 'wtf. I thought I did pretty good at the integration questions'. Turns out I accidentally skipped a pretty easy 3 marker integration by parts question.

LOL Biology:
For my option we were meant to do it in the exam booklet but I did mine in a separate booklet. Shock horror when I saw about a million 0's over my option section. Then my teacher crossed it out and wrote "IN ANOTHER BOOKLET"

I'm pretty much happy with all my marks except 4u maths :S

 

[ohexploitable]

i sat the exam choice chem paper

shit marking criteria

one of the 6 mark questions was "evaluate the social and environmental impacts of the evolving methods in sodium hydroxide production"

marking criteria gave 4 marks for a detailed description of the chemistry behind each method

 

[ohexploitable]

ended up with only 89/100 because of that and other shit

was expecting 95ish

ugh

lol mate... if you think it's bad, you should try our school's science department D: they scab questions from catholic/examchoice/independent/hsc for our paper, use the exact same marking criteria EXCEPT they make it more specific. people running around getting 2s and 3s for a 6 marker in phys where they wrote 1.5 pages of decent material was simply shocking. other bs which didn't make sense was like 15 students losing marks for having "unclear numbers" in their working, and the marking criteria asking for direction of the force/acceleration, and you losing the mark if you put centripetal force/acceleration.
In particular there was this RIDICULOUS question where they asked to draw the direction due to a magnetic field on the diagram. if you drew the arrow next to the magnetic field, you lost the mark. edit: 2009 cssa physics paper, if you have access to it. q23a.
If you wrote upwards instead of up the page for the direction of a force, you lost the mark.
In short, it was pretty stupid.

my exam marks so far:
3u maths: 77/84 - really disappointed with this, lost all 7 marks on sillies. the paper wasn't too hard, but it was definitely more difficult than the catholic paper.
4u maths: 107/120 - really happy with this, despite losing about the same amount on sillies as 3u.
phys: 87/100 - i'll be getting another mark soon for sure though, and maybe another two after that. it would be nice if i could bump up to 90. the top guy got 99... i don't even understand how it's possible with our marking criteria. i'm pretty sure he's gonna state rank haha.

89 is the same as doing medical science instead of MBBS m8, sharpen up, luv u still...I got 97 in this chem exam

 

[slyhunter]

I'll scan our school's chem paper when I get my hands on it.

how the fuk do you plagiarise a essay written in an exam room.

 

[michaeljennings]

i assume members of tambam's cohort have copied essays from boredofstudies

 

[someth1ng]

I got my Maths marks back:

School Rank: ~30

Maths Advanced
Mark: 112/120 - 93% [Might become 113/120 - 94%]
Rank: 14/~100

Maths Extension 1
Mark: 58/84 - 69% [Most people could only do 75% of the exam, highest was 92% or 94% (not sure)]
Rank: 20/~60

That MX1 exam was so hard compared to any other exam I've seen.

Memorise essays.
That's how we roll.
