Title: Unit 3 - SAC 1 Results
Post by: Cammmeron! on March 04, 2013, 05:08:32 pm
Hey all, I just created this thread because I was wondering how you all went on your first biology SAC for the year. Maybe you could share were you went wrong and we can give each other feed back on how to improve for the next one.

Absolutely terrible.
Rank 1 scored 88%, with an average SAC score for the whole 3/4 Biol students being 62%~
I did above average. - but I'm definatley not satisfied.
At least I know where to improve on...SPECIFICS! I learnt to be more specific -_-

Is it bad if the highest rank is in the 80% range? I assume if you get the highest rank, then it shouldn't matter to much how badly everyone else preformed, unless I'm missing something?

I got 93% for my first Biology SAC, which was the second highest result in the cohort. However, I've been told that my result might be scaled up since the other class' teacher marked the SAC a bit more leniently.

I mainly lost my marks because of pedantic wording errors, so be careful and make sure you're extremely explicit in your explanations.

At our school, each SAC is marked by one teacher so that doesn't happen.

There is all this talk about the cohort, and I'm assuming you mean your biology class. What has anybody's marks have to do with mine? besides ranking amongst the cohort.
