Is it possible that errors could have been made with MST marking (computer scan sheets??)
I seriously thought I got a clear H1 for my physiology MST but my mark says 11/30
If you've made an error in say submitting the answer for question 10 which was supposed to be for 9 and proceeded to to that for the rest of the test, could they change your mark if you expressed that you knew the answers?
That's the only reason I can think of, this makes no sense to me.

Sorry to hear about that El! It sounds very likely that you circled the correct answer, but ahead of the question you meant to.
Try emailing Charles, and explain your situation to him? He usually replies very quickly!

Yep emailed him. I'll be extremely disappointed if i've done that and i'm not sure if they can even change the mark in going by my word.
-
If you really had circled all the correct answers, just out of sync, it would be clear that that was the error and that you did actually know the answers.
Whether they can or will actually do something about it is a different story. Hope it works out.
-
Do you circle the right answer in the question sheet? Because a friend of mine always does that. And she always says that if she messes up by skipping a question she can always ask the the coordinator to compare the computer sheet against the question sheet and see if the correct answer sequence was on it, maybe they will be kind enough to change the mark. I don't think it has ever happened to her though so I wouldn't have any what the outcome was but maybe you should try asking them because that seems to be a lot of marks you've lost.

No I just marked the answer sheet.
Still waiting for an email reply, eughhhhhhh
-
They can still check to see if there is a correct sequence in the bubbles. So there is still a glimmer of hope.
-
I hope it works out for you :( There is definitely no way someone like you would legitimately fail a MST.
-
Give him two hours give or take. I had an administrative error happen regarding my PRS number assignment being left out of the sheet at the start of the semester and they were pretty prompt on it. & if it is indeed wrong (which it sounds to be since I can't imagine anyone failing THAT bad on purpose) it means we beat the Biomeds even more! :P
-
Maybe it could it be an error in them recording the marks.. Perhaps he typed in 11 instead of 21 or something like that?
-
UPDATE, post on the physiology facebook page:
Guys, something terrible has happened. it seems that Grade Centre was recently "updated" centrally and in the process of doing so, the marks for the MST have been scrambled with students receiving incorrect marks for their MST.
This means that many of you in fact received a different mark from the one posted.
While this error was far beyond our control, I apologise sincerely if you got your hopes up and your mark is in fact lower than you first thought.
We currently have all hands on deck to resolve this issue. Again, my apologies, and I will let you know when it has been resolved.
YAYYYYYYYY (I HOPE)
-
LOL x 1000000...so we all received incorrect marks...I hope all of ours go UP, rather than DOWN!!
I was wondering why I only got 18/30...that's a bit lower than I expected!!

EXACTLY, i'm just so glad i'm not the only one
-
Omg!!! I was so sad I got 19/30 but when I saw El's I was secretly hoping there was a mistake done in the marking or something and I didn't want to jinx it by saying anything. OMG!!! hope it goes up!!!
-
Knowing my luck mine's going down -_- Friday the 13th...
-
They've fixed the results and put them back up!~ I'm happy - my results went up from 24/30 to 26/30 :3
-
Yay 25/30 ;D
That's more like it!!
-
H2B sigh..
Everything else has been >95% for the subject so slightly disappointed
-
29/30...
Edit: Omg! I knew I didn't correct my answer to that one question in the second page because I didn't have time. Woo!! We did well guys!!
-
29/30...
Go pink!!!
-
I honestly don't know how you guys get marks like you do (>90%) ! I only got 90% for BIOL10004 last semester (never done biol before) and I studied it for about 2 hours a day every day in addition to pracs and lectures. And that was my best mark too!
-
Nicola...a 90+ in anything is extremely amazing in uni.

And you haven't even done bio before. That is a super mark!!!

And especially in a subject where memory is heavily involved, that's pretty damn solid.
-
But only 80% for my other subject which I didn't study as hard for (biology dominated); I guess when I was in high school (years ago) I was getting 90+ without trying. This is my first time in a 'real' uni course - much harder to get those sorts of marks, but you guys seem to ace them all! Though no doubt you work incredibly hard for them.

Uni courses tend to be like that - I went from achieving ~100 at school in science subjects to about 80 at uni.

Haha it takes a bit of adjusting to! My boyfriend is doing Mech Eng Masters and gets 98%'s.... so I suppose it doesn't help being around him either.... hah. :)

OK. Woah. That's very unusual for uni (esp Masters) - he must be an absolute genius.
-
Lol rofl those LMS jokers.
Yeah for our Immuno midsem nobody could see their grades for like 48 hours, even though the person who had put up the marks sent an announcement saying the marks were up. But Grades Centre kept saying 'there are no marks to reveal' and there was no direct link.
People were legitimately frothing at the mouth.
-
Lol I feel sorry for whoever received a very high mark and then gets updated to 11/30.... Ouch

I was worried that person would be me lol. My actual mark turned out to be higher than the one I initially saw though.
