Title: What's up / Plan of attack?
Post by: brenden on June 12, 2012, 06:20:07 pm
Well, firstly - what's everyone doing at the moment? Cramming? Chillin'? Doin' backflips?

And out of interest, does anyone have a plan for tomorrow? Eg. Short answer first, multi choice, then extended etc?
:)

Reading over everything one last time. Going over how to word concepts that are difficult for me and doing a few short answer practice questions. I have 1 more practice exam to do then I'm taking the night off!

Tomorrow I will do the multiple choice first to activate related concepts to assist in the short answer questions (what up semantic network theory?)
But if there's a short answer that I'm dying to do while I have the wording sorted out in my head  I will do that straight away :)

Sounds like a pretty solid strategy Hannah! Aiming for A+?

Thank you :) I don't want to put that much pressure on myself because I'm quite an anxious soul but probably B+ or anything above that would be nice :) It's hard to say because it depends on the difficulty of the exam and how everyone else goes :)

Fair enough! Well, you seem like a pretty conscientious students so I'm sure you'll do well :)
Good luck!

I would have liked to have completed one more practice exam but I was always going to take the night off. As such, I'm chilling (and this time tomorrow we'll all be chilling!).  :)

How has everyone been going sac's wise? What % would one need to average throughout the year to gaurantee a subject score of 45? Cheers duuudes

To guarantee 45+ you'd want high A+'s on the exams lol.
I'm rank 1 with 3 marks dropped but our SACs are relatively easy.

I am too ranked #1 but our Sacs are quite difficult. I am happy that they are this way because it gives a good indication of success on exams. No offence, but you would assume that you would drop more than 3 marks in the exam, thus potentially scaing your sacs down. However, if you do really well on exam, like I'm talking 95-98%, it probably wont matter haha. What do you think you got on the exam?

Well yeah I figured that lol.
Well I know I've lost 3. So I'll say 80/90 just for the lolz.

Oh woops did you mean drop 3 marks from your sacs or drop 3 marks from the exam? If you've only dropped three marks over the year the fuck thats good! On the exam then sames.

I was referring to you dropping three marks over the semester in sacs.

Both coincidentally. I'm on 97/100 for the semester (before moderation, obviously this will come down), but for the exam there are 3 marks I know I lost, so 87/90 on the exam, and then I subtracted another 7 to account for more mistakes which will inevitably be there.
