Were there any surprised?

[Genericname2365]

Literature for sure. I was expecting a 34-39 at max, seeing as I had completely stuffed up the exam, or at least in my mind I did. Ended up getting a 48.

Damn, I have bad judgement. Psych myself out for no reason. -.-

Speaking of Psych... I thought for sure I'd got a better score than I got on the mid-year, but instead I got an A.  But apart from that, no major surprises really.

[saheh]

My entire study score lol 5 points higher then expected (in 90s)
Also my lowest sac was my highest score (rankings ftw)
And my highest sacs were my lower scores haha

Speaking of Psych... I thought for sure I'd got a better score than I got on the mid-year, but instead I got an A.  But apart from that, no major surprises really.

Psych - 95% SACs, rank 3/120, B+ mid year (finished 20 minutes early, was certain of an A+) - only just finished end of year in time, got an A - SS of 37; disappointing to say the least.

[rachaelcool]

English - A+, A+, A+ with 100% SACs U3 and 4, and came out with a 43 - would've hoped for higher but still happy!

Lit - only got an A on the exam and managed a 41. Pretty chuffed.

Expected 45ish for ESL, my SACs weren't the best like rank 7th and it wasn't my best subject, didn't feel good after the exam and thought I completely stuffed LA. Ended up with 50 which surprised me.

Expected at least 45 for Chemistry which was my best subject and ended up with a disappointing score of 42 which ultimately brought my ATAR down. Must've screwed up exam 2

Definitely English, I panicked after I finished the Lang Analysis section, because I spent 15 mins more than I should of. Lost of all of my fire that I had going into it and never got a flow going for my writing, only finished two body paragraphs for my TR and Context sections and failed to finish the rest of them and a conclusion. So only one of three essays completed, only did about 7 pages of writing, (did the same amount in Lit in 2 hours and overall thought my Lit exam was much better) turned out to have a B+ on the exam and they kept my A+ scores from my SACs, Lit on the otherhand, same exam result but they lowered my SACs to A's and ended up with a 34 in comparison to the 37 I pulled in English.

I'm still kinda disappointed I didn't do as well as I expected in English, but I'm relieved that the score wasn't as bad as predicted and that I got the ATAR that I wanted, so no more worrying or whining from me.

English for me as well - I had a mind blank over the context section and then this lead to another mind blank over the text response. There was no flow and I thought I didn't make sense, I expected a 40 at best. Came out with a 46!

[FlorianK]

I was surprised about Physics. Got an A on the Mid-Years and didn't expect an A+ for Unit 4 - ended up with a 42 haha.

I was also surprised about my English performance, the rest of my cohort did badly on it and since I didn't had the best SAC scores they were all quite low and still ended up with a 43. I thought I'd maybe get a 43 if I get SAC marks as high or higher than my exam mark. Orderd SoM to find out how well I did exactly.

Was very negatively surprised about Methods. Dropped 1 mark through both exams for the VCAA papers 2009-2011 and my score ... lets not talk about it

[abcdqdxD]

Surprised about accounting. Got an A in midyear expecting 38-39. Managed a 43

[Puref0rlyfe]

I'd estimate my SAC rank for English in the top 10 somewhere, got a 41 while the rank 1 only got a 40, shocked the hell out of me when i thought my Text Response was atrocious. Japanese was a bit lower than i'd hoped, wanted a 37 or so and got a 33 but that's what i get for playing League of Legends instead of doing exam revision xD

[McFleurry]

French (42)

How in the world???

[Lado]

Probably English and Psychology - was slightly disappointed with my 45 in English as I was aiming for 47+. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised by Psych, as I was predicting around 42-43 and didn't think a 45 was even possible after the mid-year.

[Wazzup]

Definitely English!
I had high SAC scores, hoped for a 33 in ... ended up with a 41

[TommyLie]

I was very surprised with my Mark for specialist maths. I was expecting about ~30 raw, and although I had A+'s on SACs I knew the exam would be a lot harder. Ended up with B+'s for all 3 GA's and a SS of 35 RAW. Could not, in my wildest dreams, have expected a score that high for Spec math! The other two highest marks in that subject were both 29, and both of these guys were 'naturally' smarter than me. That being said I definitely put a huge amount more effort in than them, so I'm very happy my hard work paid off

Overall I was also surprised with my ATAR, I new I could get away with about 85 minimum because of SEAS, and this was what I was expecting. So when I saw 91.45 I was shocked!! Methods I would have been disappointed with if I hadn't got the ATAR I got. I was ultimately hoping for something more like 37 to 40 RAW, but I really stuffed up exam 1 only got B+, but luckily I saved myself and got an A on exam 2. However, SS and ATAR scores mean nothing once you have met the pre req's for the course you want

When VCAA calculates study scores, are they calculated by hand or using a computer? I'm just curious if they ever make mistakes.
