Title: > having 2 exams in one day
Post by: Opengangs on August 10, 2017, 09:52:05 pm

So, I finished my trial exams a week ago and I have received some of it back.
I'm suuuper pissed about my Extension 1 mark because I know I'm better than it.
And the worst part is that it was on the same day as my SDD exam (which I'm also pissed tbhh).

I'm just hoping I'm still able to score an E4 for 3U, but with a 66% trial mark to my 80--90 average, I'm scared :(
My rank is also going to sink.

Definitely sucks! I've had that happen for trials (Biology and Economics) and for a previous round of assessments (Biology and Maths 3U).

With the moderation/aligning/scaling, your internal marks don't really matter! As long as your school's cohort tries their best in the exam (details on that here), you'll be able to achieve an E4 :) This is a raw marks database for reference :)

I'm just worried about how badly my ranking is going to be affected.
I was 20/75 (yeah, it's pretty competitive), but I'm probably going to be sitting 36-37? which is like the bottom of E4 in our school since everyone averaged 80%
