40 raw is hard in spesh. 80/80 and 35/40 would probably be above 41, but i want 'at least 41'
Hence i need to ensure i'm at 80/80 or extremely close to 80 to get a 43-44 (which is my 'aim')
Seriously? Losing 5 marks means NINE study scores? That seems a bit much.. I think what happened last year seems to have changed peoples predictions for scores, but surely the cut off for this year won't be nearly as high??
To be fair though, last years exam was quite easy, I just made stupid errors.... real stupid errors.... And a lot of people scored highly since it was easier (tbh, last year I found the methods exams harder than the spesh exams). This years exam was not the same as last years, so everything changes again.

The best thing to do atm is to move on, just do the best you can on the next one, you can't changed whats already happened, you need to put it behind you or you won't do as well on the next one. What is done, is done, and whatever happens, happens, just do the best you can do :)

Last year I know losing 3.5 marks over both was a 45 raw for a mate (not rank 1 however)

*shrugs*

Just hope for the best I guess.
