Were there any surprised?

English- Forgetting to analyse one of the pictures and squeezing in the second image somewhere near the end of my analysis. Didn't write conclusion for context and felt like my paragraphs were all over the place (lame story as well).
SOMEHOW pulled an A out of nowhere. My SACs then proceeded to drag SS down to 23.

lol, for LA I completly forgot to analyse the visuals :p I only realised that after I walked out but well my SACs dragged my score down to 'only' 43

I was also very shocked in legal...
Ranked 3rd in SACS at 96. I burnt out a couple of days before the exam and then didn't even finish the paper. I spent weeks preparing myself for a 35-38 and then somehow pulled a 49- beat the 1st and 2nd ranking kids too! Very happy

I put alot of effort into economics but ended with a Study score of 33 fml.
I only got a B in the exam when I thought I deserved an A. Worst of all, I was ranked 1st and 2nd in sac rankings. 95/100 and 96/100 in unit 3 and unit4. Both got scaled down to a B+ and A. I expected to get between 38-43. I go to a gov't school where we don't have a proper and experienced in economics

2011 - English. 1/130-odd in SACs, my indicative grade was 97 or 98, and I lost no marks at all for C&P. Came out of the exam feeling I'd done my best - B+ on the exam, 5/10 on C&P, which was my strongest area throughout the year. Came out with a 39 instead of the 43+ I was sure I'd achieved.
2012 - all my classes. Enviro Science I had an indicative score of 98, 1/15 for SACs, and got A+ on both exams, along with two other people in my class. It turned out that my cohort had a lump of awful achievers at the bottom on exam 2 and high achievers at the top, so somehow the top three in the class got pulled down slightly. I thought that the person with the highest SAC marks wasn't subject to moderation, but I was expecting a 43-48 for sure with the marks I got. Still, 42 was fine.
Chemistry, all my practice exams were A/A+ and I didn't mark lightly. SACs were very high A, I think 7/46 in the school. Had a nervous breakdown in the first exam and got a B, but I studied hard for Exam 2 and then screwed up two large questions that were also in my area of strength due to being unable to interpret properly. Came out feeling fairly calm and expecting an A, with the 35 I'd been aiming for, ended up with B A B+ and 33.
Methods, I was ecstatic to get that A+ on the second exam, and I definitely put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this subject, but my first SAC mark was so bad it pulled my 89 average down to 82, and I lost two marks on Exam 1 (realised a day after I walked out I'd lost the A+) for something really simple, and while I definitely exceeded the 35 I was aiming for, the amount of preparation and intense study I did for the Metods exams felt like it didn't pay off quite enough overall. I feel like none of scores in 2012 were indicative of my internal grades (except Methods) at all, and I feel like I wasted a lot of time and effort to get the scores I did.
Overall ATAR I was happy about, though, it got me into my dream course, so I'm all set for a fresh start in a sensible system!

...it feels good to get that rant out. Really good.
