I absolutely ripped that exam..
40/40
It was soooooooooo  easy
Every one at my school was laughing when they came out???   :D
My teacher prepared us soo well
I reckon cut off for A+ would be about 37/40
Anything below, your sac marks will suffer big time.  Unlucky  :2funny:
It was so much easier than last year
I am looking forward to 15 Dec   50    4 sure
Last year exam was much harder.   If you got 87% in sacs    B in first exam and B+ in second you get 31 raw which goes up to 38.  This year if ya got the same marks you would be lucky to get 34 after scaling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by: fly_babe000 on November 07, 2008, 12:32:52 pm
with ~95% for SACS and 34/40 for Exam 1, and an A+ for exam 2, do you think I can get above 40?
Title: Re: Mark?
Post by: vce01 on November 07, 2008, 12:33:42 pm
ffs, so many people getting 38-39
Title: Re: Mark?

Got 39/40 >.<. Can't believe I screwed up that mode question. Sooo dam easy!
Title: Re: Mark?
Post by: Lulu on November 07, 2008, 12:36:33 pm
Wow...so many 38-39'ers, does that mean the cut off for A+ could be really tight? something like 37-40?
Title: Re: Mark?
Post by: Mikey123 on November 07, 2008, 12:40:21 pm
I reckon 34+ A

30-34 A

You have to consider the people who are voting (VN community = generally high achieving), also some people may not want to disclose what they got (even though voting is anonymous, but still).

Bear in mind that these are just preliminaries. Exam 2 could change all these.

Awwww what did you do?
*patpat* I'd be so upset if that was the only mistake i made..
But i made LOTS of stupid mistakes...
I almost missed out the whole first page of giveaway marks and realised that the page existed 5 minutes before exam was over :P

But i stuffed up the mode question, probably the easiest question on the whole exam...
i somehow read it or thought of it as median  WTF?

between 39-40 out of 40. do you reckon if i get good on exam 2, ranked 3rd in cohort, id get over 45?
Title: Re: Mark?
Post by: Lulu on November 07, 2008, 01:38:28 pm
Getting above 45 is VERY hard for methods, you could probably only lose less than 4 marks on exam 2 i think.

Mao got 45 for Methods last year so use him as a guide :p

Post by: bucket on November 07, 2008, 01:41:51 pm
I hope that exam two is a lot harder than this was =_=

goodwork to the other 21/40 ppl! hahaha *praying for a B now* lol

stupid height of a triangle.. lol

n omg for the tree diagram i put like 3 instead of 0.3  :'(
Title: Re: Mark?
Post by: sandhya on November 07, 2008, 01:53:47 pm
i think ive spent the entire year underestimating the difficulty of getting over 45 for methods.

god i feel so depressed :(

i should probably get 100 on exam 2 to get 45+. and i dont see that happening :(
Title: Re: Mark?
Post by: fredrick on November 07, 2008, 01:58:47 pm
compare spec exam 1 to this...i wish they made it abit harder woulda been better for us. Hopefully exam 2 is harder than this

Check this

Since 06 was regarded easy this was slightly hard so..... I reckon that is how things will look.

This may sound pretty stupid, but how do you interpret those statistics??
Title: Re: Mark?
Post by: Mikey123 on November 07, 2008, 02:33:31 pm


they are doubled so divide them by 2 to make them equal to 40 and check the grade.
Title: Re: Mark?
Post by: melly04 on November 07, 2008, 03:55:58 pm
i dont understand how you read that, so what would a 21/40 be in terms of grade?
Title: Re: Mark?
Post by: Mikey123 on November 07, 2008, 04:03:24 pm
It was a B in 06
Title: Re: Mark?
Post by: chlloe on November 07, 2008, 04:15:38 pm
