Haha, no onez been bothered to post a chem post. Ah well I thought I'll get it started, personally I didn't do so well and along with my whole school, probaly the average mark was C+, lol. Anyway feel free to post your feelings and results. :D
-
I got an A+ , really happy, haven't really talked to many people about it at school, a lot of people are refusing to open their letters.
-
I got an A =].
i'm happy since i didnt study nearly as hard as everyone else.
-
For those of you wondering..
The approximate examination scores associated with the letter grades were
A+ - 87 % to 100 %
A - 79 % to 86 %
B+ - 72 % to 78 %
B - 62 % to 71 %
C+ - 52 % to 60 %
-
Where did you get those statistics from? Are they for 2008?
-
My chem teacher marks chem exams.
-
got an A! pretty happy with that since i was not in the right mind frame during the exam
-
I got an A+. So I'm very happy. Just need to keep working towards the end of the year! :D
-
A+ along with like 15 other people from my school (out of 30). Yeah, our teacher's awesome.
-
i got a B, still dont know if im happy or not ???
-
if i got a B this time, could it still be possible to get 40+ for the enter score if i did really really well in the end of year exam?
-
whats the lowest mark you can get and what's the state average?

same. chem's my worst subject tho

Probably not.
-
when do we get our statement of marks
-
when do we get our statement of marks
Good question, I'd also like to know.
-
it depends on when you've sent in the application I think.
logically speaking, they should start arriving in people's mail by tomorrow (for those who's already put in the order prior to today)
-
I posted mine today. I remember last year it took AGES!
-
40-41 most likely!
-
I got an A... not as good as I'd hoped (but better than what I was fearing). Oh well.
-
a high range A can pull out a 40 as a study score given they get an A+ next exam hey?? :P
-
Absolutely
-
Even if u got a B+ in the exam it's still possible to get 40 ss, however u need to score a high A + end of year.
-
What would two Bs on both exams be as a study score?
-
how many people get A+ per subject?
-
how many people get A+ per subject?
11% of all people doing the subject(excluding those who drop out)
-
What would two Bs on both exams be as a study score?
Considering Bs to be just slightly above average, you would probaly be expecting 32-34.
-
11% of all people doing the subject(excluding those who drop out)
Not necessarily, from what I've seen, it really depends on how the students go, because there can be cases when only 7, 8 or 9 % of students get A+.

The grade distribution (http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2008/midyear/vce_chemistry_ga1_08.pdf) shows 11% of students attempting the exam got an A+ result.
-
how many people get A+ per subject?
I was trying to answer generally lol, not only for the physics exam, this mid-year. ;)
-
if i got a d+, can i get a 30? my sac marks are solids a's
-
if i got a d+, can i get a 30? my sac marks are solids a's
Yes you can definately still get a 30, however you have to pull a solid score on the Unit 4 exam, atleast an A I'd say
and your SACS will most like go down a bit unfortunately
-
i got an A. is there somewhere on the vcaa website where it says what kinds of marks you need to get cartain scores for in each subject, eg:3A's will get you between 30 and 40 raw score or something??

Nope
-
Our chem teachers' pretty happy. 52% of our chem cohort got B & above. Said thats the highest he's seen at our school since he's been there.
-

is that 30 raw or scaled?
-
ahhh got my statement of marks, lost 4 marks (out of 78) =\ funny thing is one of the questions i got wrong was the first multiple choice...yes thats right, reading the burette. serves me right for copying others' prac results the entire unit <.<
-
bleh lost 5 marks, whats chances of getting 48+ now..?
-
Me too
-
I got a B, not really happy but oh well, i tried my best. Is there any chance that i can still get 40 at the end of year or what's the maximum raw score can i get?
-
A 40 raw is almost definitely out of the question unless you got full marks on the 2nd exam, but don't be discouraged! If you could lift that B to an A on the end of year exam you might be able to get around 34 or 35
Another B on exam 2 would probz leave you around the 31-32 mark
-

yeah unfortunately, like costargh said, it would be extremely unlikely :(
I would say that even if u got B+ or A...it would be very difficult to get 40+
What are u ranked for ur internal sacs?
Your ranking can have quite an impact on ur SS too, but i'm guessing u should be ranked pretty highly coz i know how awesome you are :P hehehe
But if u do extra well in ur end of year exam...i will say that u still have a chance at getting at a SS of around 35 ish
But yeah...don't give up!!
If u don't do as well as u hoped, you can always blame it on Ms Tedesco for teaching us REALLY craply last year! :P ROFL
Luv you Monica!!!
-
C+
is it still possible to get 35?
-

but that doesn't help you get a better score :P
putting it into perspective: your year 12 is summed up by a 4 digit number (or 3 if you are REALLY unfortunate), in the grand scheme of things, it in fact matters very little
at the end of the day, you can only try as hard as you can, and do as best as you can. you've put in the effort, then be happy that you have achieved, regardless of marks. =]
I didn't do as well as I'd hoped for, but I still have reasons to smile =]
-
But you still got an A+ right?
-
so if i got a d+, it's possible a ss above 32?
-
thanx everyone, i guess trying my hardest is the best out of all. my teacher said exam 2 has always been easier than exam 1, so i should get a higher mark.
-
given that its supposedly 'easier', everyone will find it easier, so it doesn't change much. what i'd say exam 2 does though is reward those who study more though given that its largely theory based (used to be basically completely theory, but now they've shifted equilibrium and its calculations into unit 4 so theres still some stoic). often, theory based exams reward those who study more since its not quite as easy to make mistakes as it is with things like stoic
-
30 raw?
-
for those who did chem last year-
do you think exam 1 is generally easier or harder than exam 2?
i mean, on a whole if you did past papers ect.
-
well actually I'm in yr 12 but unit 3 and 4 is abit of a mixed bag from last year. However from what I see, unit 4 is probaly easier (just a little)
-

what kind of a question is this?
it's a different course.
-
i got my statement of marks today
i was so shattered to see that i missed an A+ by one mark
-
bleh lost 5 marks, whats chances of getting 48+ now..?
Does anyone know the answer to this?
Unless I missed the reply or something x.x
Just curious. I think I lost around 5 marks too, didn't get my statement of marks though, heh.
ty!
-
cecille and lauzy, you'd have to do very very well on the end of year exam to get 48+
last year I lost 3 marks for exam 1 and around 5-7 for exam 2 and got 46
-
Yeah, you'd have to ace it. You're well-positioned to aim for that though. I made far fewer mistakes in Unit 4, so you can too!
-
ey coblin, idn't you do units 1&2 spesh and phys?
-
sorry for the grammar, i'm using 1 hand
-
There is no such thing as Units 1&2 Specialist Maths. I will tutor them in year 11 General Maths Advanced (or whatever it's called amongst different schools) if they ask, but I can't guarantee I will know their entire course because some of what they learn is irrelevant to Specialist Maths 3&4.
I do not remember Physics 1&2 anymore.

oh shit sorry, i forgot that there's no units 1 and 2 specialist. but it's not about tutoring, rather reffering to your sig: "VCE Economics, Chemistry and Maths Methods (Units 1-4)
VCE Specialist Maths and Physics (Units 3&4)"
pretty awesome if you got 40+ without units 1 & 2 physics.
-
My signature is about tutoring :P
-
oh :D silly me. sorry about that.
-
OMG IVE KILLED NE HOPE OF GETTIN A GREAT ENTER :laugh: :-\ .....
-.- if u guys are thinking an A was bad this and that... well u guys should be really proud of urself.... but in saying that u shouldnt really say i "only" got an A... coz it really lowers the self esteem of someone like me... not saying u should really care and all. lol
but it makes those others who didnt achieve that mark feel absolutly retarted....
.... BUT congrats to those who got a B+ and higher. be happy and smile about it :)
and to those who tried and didnt get tthe mark they wanted.... everything happens for a reason. just study the max that u can. u can live without a social life for the next couple of weeks... coz after exams its like a 3+ month break 8-)
my school didnt achieve ne grader higher than a C+ ....
so there u go. :idiot2:
.xxx.

Aww, don't feel too bad. You still have the end of year exam, to which you will definitely get a better mark. I believe in you! ;D
-
hahahahah thanxs happy ^.^
i erally hope to.
but i think ive ruined my hopes of gettin above 40 for chem :(
-
You can always aim for the highest that you can. As long as you study consistently throughout the year, especially on your best subjects, then Chemistry is all but a small increment to what will be an excellent ENTER score!
-
SO MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT ON THIS SITE!!
it feels great to know i can always get a a helping hand!
-
^ thanks for the info ninwa & coblin =]
