VCAA 2012 Chemistry Unit 3 Exam Discussion

[sin0001]

I highly doubt the A+ cut off will be 95% or above, what does everyone else think??

[datfatcat]

I got ~78%

[soccerboi]

I highly doubt the A+ cut off will be 95% or above, what does everyone else think??

Honestly, i reckon around 85%-88%

Defs not +95%. People were coming out last year thinking A+ cut is 95%...uh uh.

[wallaced93]

Can someone please tell me what my study score is track to be?! I got 60% on the exam and 88% on my SACs so far. This is assuming I get the same in unit 4, just want to have a rough idea! Please help

Not even worth studying chem anymore.....so gone...just gonna try and do some methods...

We're no strangers to Chem... You know the rules, and so do I!

A perfect 50's what we're looking for...

We wouldn't want it from any other subject!

I just wanna tell you, what to do...





Addendum: My attempt at writing a very short parody of 'Never gonna give you up', motivating Destain and rick-rolling all of you!

DeSTAIN, you must suSTAIN your work ethic towards every subject and make your you do not STAIN your approach to chem cause of this exam. I'm sure you went better than you think,
so do not abSTAIN your schooling life, and be positive!
So, get rid of these bloodSTAINS and tearSTAINS  you've made, and counterSTAIN the shit out of these rusty steel to make it STAINless steel. Y'know what I mean?

Be STAINproof!


sorry. its been tempting me for too long.

Friggin Chem, WHY DID I DO CHEM! I HATE SCIENCE! FRIGGIN CHEM! CHEM FRIGGIN CHEM!

[destain]

What do i need for a 38...and what would that scale to approximately

You want to aim for two A+'s and an A. Marks similar to that can get you a 38 raw which scales to 42.5'ish.

[Fishyiscool]

oh my god people.

I love you, but honestly,

THIS IS ATARNOTES NOT THE REAL WORLD.

chances are... (hopefully, im still trying to convince myself tooo...) most of the state did not ace that exam. *gulp*

I know for sure I didn't. But it's time to stop moping and get back on that horse! (lol)

Seriously, I made notes for chem (which were trash) and had them pretty much done before the start of term. I nearly finished checkpoints, i did many practice exams. My sac marks have been A+ average.

but I screwed that up.

BUT I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP.

Come on guys, don't let vcaa screw you over! this exam isn't the end of the world. I was just talking to romperait who said he screwed up unit 3 as well. And he did terrifically in the end.

Just get out there and ace the second exam (which he.. claims to be easier).

And lol Sam_95, no one hates themselves more than i do for picking chem probs. I picked it up FROM UNIT 2 from probably pure arrogance. But it doesn't matter, this is just another hurdle that you can overcome. Thank god there was a midyear for us (unlike the poor kids last year).

Woops, kind of went off on a tangent.

[destain]

but thing about chem is you cant just continue mid years is worth a big portion..

[Soul_Khan]

What score can I obtain if I get a A-A+ SAC average.. and get A-A+ on the end of year exam.. Given that I might have gotten anywhere between a D+-C+ for the exam?

I want at least 30-32 for this subject.. Is it still possible?

destain.. there are plenty of people who got less than you (i.e me) so chill!

Sure keep on thinking that if it helps you get to sleep tonight. ATARNotes isn't an accurate representation of how the state performed. The chemistry exam was hard.

Did you even do the exam?!

Nah tisaraiscool is right. +1
of the 7000 odd people that do chem, im positive many wouldve forgotten minute details, especially things such as states, catalysts and etc.
itll be fineeeee guys!
