Hope?

[xoNYxo]

Hey guys, I am wondering if there is still hope for me to get a decent study score when I totally screwed up my performance today? Is there hope for me to get a resonable SS if i do extremely well on my written theory exam?

Absolutely! Just try your absolute best for the exam and who knows what can happen! Absolute best of luck, sorry about your performance.

Yeah I was so nervous and made several mistakes  Because it was a group performance, i felt like I let the other member of my group down (she's a singer and was also assessed). Do you think because of my mistakes it would drag her score down? I would feel so bad if it does

What was your instrument? For all you know her gorgeous singing covered your mistakes and you both went up. The examiners aren't there to hate you, all you can do is wait it out an see. I know in Theatre Studies the assessors can even feed us a line if we forget. They won't kill you for a few mistakes. Everyone makes them! They're actively seeking for the good parts of your performance. Absolutely stress less, there's no way of telling what you get until you get it! Buckled down and smash the written exams for all your subjects just in case!

I played the piano. Our group literally came together last term so it was hard for me to learn all the songs. Ahh... it's done now, there's nothingi can do but hope for the best, right Thankyouu so much for your encouragement and advice, I really appreciate it.

Ah! You might not even have a piano player as one of your assessors! For all they know everything you did was deliberate
You're very welcome, that's what AN's for =]

I don't want to be the poop of the party, but may I remind you that the performance is worth 50% of your overall score whilst the exam is worth 20-25%. When I did mine, I thought I did great, but apparently I made one too many mistakes and since the competition in piano is very high, I received a performance grade of C+, despite working consistently with 3 hours practise everyday. I had a sac average of A+, and received a B+ on my written exam, but ended up with a 29, which scaled down to 28. I just wanted to mention this, not to dishearten you but so you are aware of what can potentially come your way. Then again, it depends on your definition of "stuffed up". Just let it go....and try your best, thats what i did.

Remember, it's all about your definition of 'screwing up.' I did violin for Music Solo 3/4 in Year 11 and I didn't play my first song as well as I could. However, this was only due to some minor technical errors looking back, but I was/am kind of a perfectionist when it came to music performance. However, I (imo) absolutely demolished my other pieces and ended by with a 41.

You may think that you played bad, but in fact you may have played really well in the examiners eyes. It is worth 1/2 your grade, so it does impact it a lot. All the best.

Just reiterating what Nisha said, it is a large bulk of your mark. I thought I played okay-ish in my performance and I ended up with a B+. Followed by a B+ on my exam scored me a 33 SS. In my opinion, it's a bad study score and I'm sure your views may slightly differentiate between what is good and what is bad, and the same with your performance. You may think you stuffed up, but it may not have been as noticeable as you think. The reality is that you need to essentially forget about it, it's over. Study hard for the theory exam and make sure you keep a clear head! Good luck, I know what it feels like to be in your position, and the last thing you want to do is stress over something that is finished.
