Shazz..
My assessment week starts on Monday. English. It concludes on thursday arvo, i think. This really is annoying.


Can someone answer this question.
When marks adjusted according to weights, are decimal places kept?
Like 10% weighting for maths, 37/40. That's like 9.25. Is that rounded down?

umm at my school, they add all the *exact* weighting values together, then they round down/up to the nearest whoel number.

Got my english and business studies marks back 2 day:

I was fully stoked with these marks

English - King lear Speech 15/20 (my last exam was 10/20)

Business Studies- Test- 37/40 - multiple choice 18/20, short answer 19/20
(Equal second in class, which boosts my 17/20 report mark from last term)

WOO HOO

I absolutely fucked my English Adv half yearly. It was so shocking, but luckily it was only worth 10%. I got 81% for Business Studies which was the second top mark (ranked 3rd though because two girls tied at #1). The average was about 60-something %, so I was quite happy. I got 54.5/66 for my physics half yearly, which was 2nd top mark.

I haven't got back my software exam, hopefully I will get top (considering there are 3 of us).....Im quite scared because it was a fucked exam.) My maths (2U and Ext 1) will hopefully be quite good. At the moment Im ranked 1st in 2 Unit, cos I got 99% in the one test we did. I don't want my ranking to go down ;). My maths results should be my strong point, Im just hoping I didn't fuck them up because Im relying on them to do well.
..3 uses of profanity in one post. wow. never knew you relied so much on profanity. = =''

good work though..


im getting an english task back 2morrow ... i hope i did better than my last 2.. = =''

umm I got 20/25 in Modern, ranked 4th. This was seriously disappointing for me, as I came 1st in the prelims (doing the exact same sort of essay formatting etc.) and I thought I deserved a lot more. It was made worse as one person got 25/25 and usually he struggles in History essays. :( Oh well...

go up to the history department and try to get extra marks... just say that you believe you should be getting more marks, blah blah blah, and yeah. although, may only just work for assignments.

@kathelle : there's still no need to swear online though. = ='' what's the point in doing so? o_O

English Ext 13.5/15, beaten by a 14/15 and a 14.5/15.

But that's ok. I'll kill them both soon enough. Kill them all.
