Statement of Marks Arrived (Anyone else wanna share too?)

[paulsterio]

I managed to get a 66/72 for Chemistry

MC
-1 on Q8 (Ibuprofen)
-1 on Q18 (IR Question)

SA
-1 on 3)a.
-1 on 5)a. (ii)
-1 on 7)b.
-1 on 7)c.

The dodgy redox question caught me out, but i seriously was 100% sure I balanced it correctly, I think there must have been a misunderstanding about where the numbers went.
If I decide to view my script again, and can somewhat prove that I balanced it correctly, is it possible for me to gain marks there?

Don't know how the hell I got 3)a. wrong!! D:

7)b. and c. were probably the result of some dodgy explanations.

Overall, I think I did well, but VERY VERY annoyed about the short answer, especially since I could have got them all right!!
The two MC questions I'll swallow because I truly did not know the answer!

So, how'd everyone else go?

Hiya

When did you send for it? I just mailed the request yesterday with money order (primitive I know). Any chance of receiving it next week?

[nemolala]

wow thats great. so after you send in your form, how and where do you gte it?

[Hamdog17]

Just received mine today and I got 65/72. I dropped 5 marks in the multiple choice which is very frustrating, short answer was pretty good though

[paulsterio]

wow thats great. so after you send in your form, how and where do you gte it?

It gets mailed to you, it should arrive in about a week or so, but if you order it after the results come out, ie. after monday, it can take quite a while, one of my friends says around 2 weeks for him (last year)

Hiya

you probably won't, it'll probably be around two weeks, and oh money order? dont they cost $6, thats like almost the price of the statement itself!

Hi! I got 67/72
Does anybody know what sort of study score that translates to, assuming I get approximately the same score for end of years and sacs?
Congrats to Hamdog & paulsterio

[BoredSatan]

you're looking at at around 43+ there easily. I would say 45+ but i dont know how well other people have gone.

[Romperait]

That would be 45+ with good sacs this year for sure.

[taiga]

I'd be weary about calling it a 45+ at this stage. Got good marks (72/75) last year for exam 1 (though the cutoff was higher) and performed worse on the second exam (still A+)  and definitely didn't hit that

Still another exam to go, so yes you CAN get 45+ definitely but yeah, wouldn't be calling anything definite now because you would probably have to perform a bit better than this sem.

[Hamdog17]

Taiga I read in one of the topics you got a C+ but a derived score? Correct me if I'm wrong?

well "approximately the same score" is a very vague way of saying it
because if the end of year exam was harder than this one, it would mean something different to if the end of year exam was easier!

if you were trying to say "approximately the same ranking" that could be a 45+ (which is a 48 scaled mind you ) but i'd be on the safe side and say expect a 42+
but its good to be optimistic

and thanks for the congrats btw (:

What would you classify as a low A+?

[mattshen]

Low A+ = 61.5-63
Low-Med A+ = 64 - 65
Med A+ = 66
Med-High A+ = 67
High A+ = 68 + 
Correct me if Im wrong

[pi]

Well, I'd say 61.5-64/72 is 'low', 64.5-68 is 'mid', and 68.5-72 would be 'high'


EDIT: damn you matt

EDIT: damn you matt

i think your high A+ is too high...
