Apparently the UoM physics exams today was cray?

FUNDAMENTALS.  Don't worry dude, I thought I'd literally failed the exam when I did it (I put a smiley face for one of the questions, just a smiley face! And where it asked me to see whether someone could survive something I said 'They will die' but did no working) and I got an 85 so I'm sure it's not as bad as you think :)

Nah i'm gone. I missed like 8 marks in a 10 mark question, 5 marks in a 5 mark question and many other marks due to poor working out. At the end of the day I worked through all the chapters, did the tute questions, all the past exams, so what can you do.

I 100% bet all my life savings (69 cents) that you will get h2a at least. But yeah, that is all you can do, it sucks that physics is the worst but it definitely is scaled a lot so hope for the best \o/

I thought Melb doesn't scale marks except in extreme circumstances?

Physics Fundamentals will scale or everyone would fail it.  Depends on the subject.

Edit: what I mean is they'll scale the exam, not the whole subject.  Prac marks and assignment marks wouldn't change.
Like if the average for the exam is approx. 50% correct or something they obviously have to scale that because you can't fail half/the majority of the class.

Hate it when the person sitting in front of you has flatulence problems. There should be special consideration for that.

How was IC? :)

For the most part it was straightforward, I was unsure about 2-3 MC questions and I think I got one wrong. But oh well.

40 minutes was spent in that exam room just daydreaming and sleeping...and a lot of people resorted to drawing on the exam.

It's just the IC exam I wasn't able to leave early from. For some reason we had to stay for the whole hour.

I saw lots of people leave the Bio exam early, but I stayed back anyway - glad I did.

It was in a lecture theatre yeah? I guess they didn't want people having to go past other students doing the exam
