C+ What should i do...

[Widdy]

Hi guys,
I got a C+ for my mid-year, when I thought I'll get a B...
but the most worrying part is that C+ is the highest mark in my school for chemistry. Only 3 people got a C+ including me and the rest got below C+. So am I screwed or what? Is it still possible to get a high 30s? Should I get a tutor?

Thanks
Widya

mate im on the same boat i got a C+ too. apparently we aren't, unit four can change your mark for the better

[Widdy]

but should I get a tutor? I mean C+ is the highest grade... is that normal

[LOVEPHYSICS]

Mm. That's not normal I believe. Is your school under-represented?

[Widdy]

Victorian College Of The Arts Secondary School?

[LOVEPHYSICS]

Ah. Maybe not. I guess it being a more specialist school on the arts, perhaps results on the science stream will be a little skewed.

i know a guy who got C+ mid year and got a high A+ end of year and got a 38
gives me hope because i didnt do that great either

[lily-flower]

umm just wondering was it 38 raw or 38 scaled?

I highly doubt it was 38 raw, more likely to be scaled (from ~33). If it WAS raw though, it must have been a very high C+ and a monster A+ in the other exam and in SACs (100% or very close to that for both).

(unless that was the 'swine flu' year a lot of dodgy stuff happened in SSs in that year)

[paulsterio]

Hahaha, swine flu!

[peterle1]

38 raw btw guys

[Widdy]

okay sweet! thanks for the story peter, i actually have hope now

[DisaFear]

Serious? 38 raw? Insane.
I feel happy now
