:)what've you got?
-
does anyone know how we can actualy get one of these
my school has left me completely in the dark : (
Your school doesn't know. You need to fill out a request for a SoM and send it to VCAA ( it costs money though).

83/90. I'm slightly disappointed i was aiming a little higher. What kind of study score do you think its worth?

Print it from here: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/schooladmin/forms/vce/statemarksinspectscripts.pdf
and send it off to the address down the bottom, should only take 3-4 days for you to get it back.
I got the same as you sam5, where did you lose your marks?
-
since the cutoff is 79/90, assuming a similar one in the end of year and A+ sac average
I'd expect a 43-45 study score if you got 83/90 on the next exam aswell

ahh right. thanks mate.
andrew, i lost 1 mark for a calculator error on the bank column question 1.1.2 (FML), 1 mark on subsidiary ledger working, a (perhaps) dubious 1.5 marks on residual value theory question (i'm really can't see how i lost marks on this one), 1 mark for not having stock gain overstated, somehow .5 of a mark on commencing entry question, 1 mark on cashflow statement, 1 mark on GJ entries.
I don't understand how i lost marks on residual value theory question and commencing entry question. any ideas?
-
I wonder what kinda score you'd need for a fifty xD
-
I received my statement of marks the other day. Came back with a 173/180..which translates to 86.5/90... I thought accounting didn't have such a system as half marks? Does anyone have a clue how I recieved half marks for a question. (Question 1.8)?
-
One marker gave it m/n, the other gave it (m-1)/n
-
I think that the mid-year papers were marked twice by two assessors. and then they just average between the two given that there isnt a large discrepency. :)
-
The examination marking process is rigorous, carefully and expertly conducted, and designed to be fair to all students. For most studies, your examination papers are marked twice, by two different markers. Each marking is done separately and each marker does not know the marks given by the other marker. If there is insufficient agreement between their marks, the paper is assessed by a third marker.
For Mathematics, Accounting, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, examination papers are marked by a single marker. This is because in these examinations experience shows there is little or no difference in the marks given by pairs of markers marking the same paper.
In these examinations, the GAT is used to identify which students will have their papers marked a second time. A student’s GAT score is used to calculate their predicted examination score. If a student’s examination score is significantly different from this predicted score, their paper will be marked again.
The GAT is also used as part of a final check on examination scores. If a student’s final examination score is significantly different from the score predicted by the GAT, school indicative grades, other examination scores or School-assessed Tasks for the study their examination will be assessed again by the Chief Assessor’s panel. See the Anomalous Examination Grades page for more information.
A student’s score may go up or stay the same, but it will not go down as a result of this final check.

For Chem this year, two people mark it.
Dont know about accounting then
-
do examiners give half marks?
-
hmmmm... i Think they get something like base score and max score, according to the statement of marks, the chem exam is out of 73 marks in total, so the total "base score" is 73 and total "max score" is 146, and the final mark is out of 146. so generally speaking they do give half marks, if you are referring to the marks rewarded on the actual exam
-
141 pretty disappointing like 3 or 4 off an A lol so what if i get another B+ for end of year?what's do u guys think would be a realistic study score?and what if i got an A?

i suppose it depends on your SAC marks, but i would estimate around 35-6
-
does anyone knw wat the expected range for an A+ is?
-
79/90 and higher for unit 3 exam
-
yeah its 79, still cant believe i couldnt make that.
-
yeah its 79, still cant believe i couldnt make that.

I wont be satisified with anything other than an A+ for it.

nah, i didn't get an A.
I just think i cud have done better lol
-
Ah i see, i reckon everyone has that mindset, unless they got like the highest A+ in the state
-
just out of curiosity, do you reckon heaps of people would have got above 86/90? im not sure how competitive acc is...
-
17 people in our cohort's got A+, out of around 80, and my school's just an average school. i think acc is quite competitive.
-
ahhh so my mark wouldn't be considered very high then if heaps were getting in the 86+ range...
-
ahhh so my mark wouldn't be considered very high then if heaps were getting in the 86+ range...
last year highest is 88 according to rhjc, so i suspect this year's highest would probz be full mark considering the fact that this year's easier
but 86 is good enough to be considered as very high though the competition is more vigorous this year :p
-
just out of curiosity, do you reckon heaps of people would have got above 86/90? im not sure how competitive acc is...
I seriously doubt that since last year I think the highest was 88
How do you know highest score? Was it you??
-
No no one got full marks this year, if i remember correctly the highest in the state was around 86.5 or 86?
-

word of mouth. I could be wrong so please don't quote me on this matter. One of my friends from other schools was talking to the head examiner who told him that the highest he saw was 86 or 88 and I know a guy who got 88/90.

It doesn't matter, I know of a guy who got 2 marks above A+ last yr (78/90) and still achieved 47 raw. I doubt he got full marks in Unit 4 Exam.
On the other hand, in 2007, out of six 90/90 at MHS, only 2 or 3 achieved 49-50 and the rest weren't that great. Ironically, the people who got Premier's Awards didn't get full marks in Unit 3!
-
@game_freak: 86 or 86.5/90 cannot be the highest for this years unit 3 accounting exam, as I know of at least two people in my methods class getting 87/90
-
Hm yeah i think it must have been 88 then.

Did he end up getting a premiers 50? Just curious, because as you noted, some people score insanely high on midyears and don't work as much for endyears whereas some people get low on midyears relatively and work hard for endyears and succeed (so for all you current accounting people: a good midyear mark doesn't mean you can afford to relax at all). Although to get highest in the state, this guy was probably some hardcore freak at accounting. Was he a year 11?

yeah. he didn't get premier's. apparently he made heaps of errors in unit 4 exam due to lack of pressure.

how did you go on midyrs rhjc.1991?

lol, must've been quite a gun to get a 50 without feeling much pressure.

Heh, I didn't get my mid-semester statement of marks, as I didn't want to know how low my A+ was ;)
17 people in our cohort's got A+, out of around 80, and my school's just an average school. i think acc is quite competitive.
Holy crap, that is a lot of people doing accounting. My class had four :) (had to join with another school for cross marking)
-
Wow, Jamison...you got a premier's award? Awesome!!
Any tips for unit 4 exam?
-
Heh, I didn't get my mid-semester statement of marks, as I didn't want to know how low my A+ was ;)
Seeing as you got a premiers, you now know how 'low' that exam mark was ;)
