Come on geniuses, how'd you go??
-
A+, I'm so happy.
-
yeah me too... figuring its a low A+ but I'll take any A+ anyday!
Good work :D
-
A+ here!
-
Getting mine in 30 minutes!!1

Getting mine in 30 minutes!!1
why are some people getting them earlier/later? Do the schools set when you can recieve your marks?
(Good luck, by the way)
-
B+ :( fml
-
Keeping the dream alive, A+ :D
-
I was thinking I got B/B+. Alas, A+. Feels good. Must have been a fucking low cut off this year, you may recall me QQing in the discussion thread about the further electronics being bloody hard this year... I must have got most of the ones I guessed correct. Anyone know when the reports are meant to come out? I'm still itching to find out how to do half a dozen of those questions.

I was unsure about my electronic section as well but i must of got about 100% on it since i know for sure i made mistakes in motion.
B+ :( fml
I got B+ in chem but its not too late to get high 30's even maybe 40. Your b+ could be like one mark off an A
-
Further electronics... the main electronics was incredibly easy. But I did make a painfully stupid mistake on Q1 - I said the voltage changed :(
-
Whats the cut off this year?

A+ so happy!!!

A ...

Aww matty how many marks did you lose!
-
I'm not sure, but Somewhere between 8 and 12, depending on how generous the examiners were with consequentials...
Hoping to ace unit 4 in order to rectify this, honestly, hideously stupid slip up. I got the sliding blocks, spring and one of the "pick-the-graph-and-justify" questions wrong, as well as misreading the angle of embankment from my calculator and placing the wrong arrow for reaction force on the bike...
/whinge
What did you get?
-
got and A. Not so pleased...
I think completely missing the draw the forces on the bike fucked me over. 2 marks gone. Could have been an A+.
-
What would I have to get in my next exam, to get above 30.
If I got a C for the exam, and have been averaging about a B in the Sacs.
-
B+
fml...
though I must admit, I was expecting it. I made way too many dumb mistakes to have done much better. Also, most of our class got B+, too, so it makes me feel better.
-
fmlll thought i did better :(
-
A+. What was the cut-off?
-
A+ Physics
A+ Chemistry! wOOt! xD
I think I aced the phyiscs exam. Unless they took off a random mark for an explain question I'm pretty confident. :)
Half of our class got an A+ or an A so our teacher was bloody stoked!
-
A+! so relieved

Nahh, just an interstate detour at worst. :)
-
i got a B+. im kinda disappointed seeing as though i averaged high A's for my SACs. Is it still possible for me to get around 35?

Yeah, of course. I know someone who obtained B+'s for both exams and SACs and managed to pull off a 35.

Yeah I guess. Though if I can't get in I might as well just go through Melbourne.

^Dw, i'm sure you'll get into Monash. You seem smart and would have done better than me last Wednesday. :)

A+, which was pretty good I suppose.

Same. . . but I sense there seems to be a melancholy aura in the air surrounding the results.
I mean, some ppl screwed up badly, and still got A+ . . . so how low was the A+ cut off mark (or did they actually do better than expectedl)?
-
hey guys
you ppl reckon its possible to get low 40s with a high A- mid year, and high A+ SAC results?
BTW: HAS ANYONE FOUND CUTT OF MARKS FOR LETTER GRADES YET?

Jshazz. . how did ya go>?

hey avi
a+ accs and a in physics
i heard 13/20 ppl in our class (accs) got a+; mental
-
Lo ye. Our teacher's a legend. Well done mate!!
-
u heard of anything regarding cutt offs for physics?
-
Nah. . . probably lower than I thought, because I believed that I really f888 up the exam . .
I reckon anything above A will still get ya 40+ with the sac marks and and A+ in exam 2
-
^Dw, i'm sure you'll get into Monash. You seem smart and would have done better than me last Wednesday. :)
Aww thanks. :) It did go good. But the cut offs for the UMAT are really high. I don't know if I'm going to be able to make them. :(

Anyone?
-
I'm depressed. Only got an A for physics and a B+ for chem, when I know I'm an A+ student.
-
Beeee
not too bad... considering that I didn't do 1/2 physics. =]

I hate bragging. It's bad karma. Always better to be modest.

SHAKAKARRRRRRRR

A+, woot :)
-
Anyone got the cut offssss?
-
A+ cut off was 81.
Source:http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2010/midyear/vce_physics_ga1_10.pdf
I've never read these before, so I'm assuming that those ranges are just double the exam mark (To account for half marks or something?). A+ range 162-180, exam out of 90... 162/2=81.
Feel free to give me + karma :D

what raw SS can you get with a low B+ in mid year and a high B+ end of year?

i reckon with an average SAC score of high B+ you're looking at around 35.

35 raw?
-
yeah. the average is C+ and that would be around 30, so a B+ would get you around 35 raw, which is a really good score.
-
Got my statement of marks today! I recieved a B+ for Physics, but was only 1 multiple question off getting an A! Talk about frustrating!
Still, considering i found the exam quite difficult I'm rather happy. The majority of my class got D+'s with only a few getting As and Bs - makes me worried that our SAC marks will scale down :S
-
D+ average? Shit dude that's not good... sounds like your teacher shouldn't be teaching.
-
D+ average? Shit dude that's not good... sounds like your teacher shouldn't be teaching.
Are you serious? I don't go to that kids school.
But the majority of my class got D's. We had one guy who got an A+, two guys who got B's. I got a C. Then about 8 kids got D's...
Does that mean my teacher shouldn't be teaching. Or is it just that I go to a school, where we don't boast on our academic results. But instead the teacher's encourage us to do subjects that we enjoy, and VCE isn't everything...
-
Anyone know A+ cutoff from statement?

Being brutally honest, you won't get Ds if you actually enjoy Physics. And really, just from paying attention in class, I daresay most people should be able to obtain at least a C (45-55%). Hence the teacher appears of questionable quality.

Teacher must be doing something if we have an A+ student. And kids are getting D's and the C like myself, instead of E's of UG. And we are only doing Physics because we have to, as one of our pre requisites. Or thought a science would be fun. We aren't ones who are taking the subject to seriously.
Also paying attention doesn't do much, when you forget all of it on the weekend, every week of the school term. And then trying to study as much as you can the day before the exam.

Well I guess it's largely down to the students, but it does still sound terrible. And I did just remember that it's a rank not a mark... so I'm a bit iffy about it all.

as i do you. *evil face*
:P haha, i envy your 47 in ita if that's any consolation :P
-
I thought I screwed that exam up pretty bad...somehow managed a B+. I'm not that dissappointed, but seeing as how I want to do biomed at Melb. I think it's about time i picked my game up a bit..hopefully get an A+ end of year and get 35-40.
-
definatly wouldn't question our teacher - he's beyond brilliant - as was shown by the 2 A's and 2 B+'s... i guess some people just have difficulty grasping physics.
-
a B....how could this happen?.......A+ sacs all semester......90%+ in practise exams..... fml....and i thought i could push it for a 40+.....
i need a 35+ in this subject, so what does that mean for the 2nd exam? :(
