Aim high and if you don't succed, you won't fall as far. Just having a positive attitude and positive thinking already gets you ahead of most of the rest of the people doing the exam.

So someone did get 90? NICE.

Dr Boydell (exam writer) told me that no one got 90...hmm. He was mistaken then.

Thushan, did you order your statement of marks? If so, how did you go?

Yup I did. Still waiting. But as far as I know, absolute max for physics is 88/90, for chem absolute max is 70/72.

Wow, the absolute max of physics was 88 and chem was 70? I find that a little surprising for physics; I personally thought the exam was relatively straightforward, other than the detailed studies (further electronics for me) and I'm sure there are people out there who would have got 100% on their respective detailed studies.

Oh whoops, you misunderstood me, i meant the absolute max that I could have gotten for physics was 88 (i dropped 2 marks on a MCQ) and for chem absolute max I could have gotten was 70 (dropped the IR MC and a mark on the first extended response).

Ahhh - no wonder haha. My bad for the misinterpretation.

88/90 and a 70/72 are still very high scores! Nice work! I wouldn't worry about the IR question - a large portion of the state would have gotten it wrong with you :D (myself included)
