Got 44 in Spesh. Thought i only dropped one mark in both combined  . Eagerly awaiting SOM to see what happened. Anyone surprised/dissapointed with SOM for Spesh?
Oh, and well done Bazza16 for awesome Bio score. Really commendable effort. 

[luken93]

Yeah really surprised. Lost 11 marks total for Methods, get 44. Lost 7.5 marks in Spesh, got 42.

So 7.5 marks in spesh lost 8 SS...(and yeah, I was #1 rank)

[mr.politiks]

That's a big surprise their. Results wise, sounds like Methods was again a statistically harder exam than Spesh. Also, explains why it was so hard to get 45+ in spesh this year. Friend got 49 and thought he full marked both (at MHS, with the SAC scaling, that would generally have to be 50)

Probably because spesh was quite easy this year, hell I even thought both spesh exams were easier than the methods exams, so those stupid errors in exam 1 that I made (Luken you know what I'm on about) cost me more than usual! But the scaling paid off for it. Not ordering a SOM since I want to try and forget those idiotic mistakes I made.

I swear, did they not give 50s or something this year

A+ cutoff 47

Assuming out of 60?

Spesh - SS 42
Exam 1 35/40 (B+ cutoff 32.5-35.5/40)

WOW! B+ cutoff = lose 4.5 marks? That Exam must've been quite "easy"

[mr.politiks]

IMO, many people may have been dogged by SACs that were really hard. SACS may have come into play as exam was not that great of a differentiator as compared to MM exams

Yep. And yeah, not really any differentiator questions...shame I had to make stupid mistakes

Yeah no doubt, I got to a pretty average school so that wouldn't have helped me at all..

[mr.politiks]

Damn. I guess we can just look with relief at all the scaling that went on, it compensated massively!

Like you needed to worry anyway

Hahaha yeah I know the feeling, I thought that 4 marks in exam 1 and (what I thought) was full marks exam 2, I'd be a safe bet. Kind of a bit of a shock when I looked at results

[paulsterio]

hope i get mine on tuesday LOL! =.="
i stupidly sent it out on tuesday, which meant that it wouldn't get to vcaa until wednesday at the earliest =.="

how'd everyone get theirs so quickly?!
