OMG yes - how the hell did i get 42 in legal with an A on the exam. Getting a SoM to find out.
Also surprised i didn't get an A+ on the exam - kinda dissapointed considering the amount of work I did and lost 2 marks in SACs for the whole year.

Which one were you surprised about?

Definitely legal studies. I had no revision book, did one practice exam where I dot pointed and didn't see my teachers in the 4 weeks before the exam. Pulled a 41 lol, was so happy considering I was rank 2, and rank 1 got 38

Health and Human. Teacher is a VCAA examiner and said she expected me to get 35 - 45 somewhere. When I got my score back and saw the unscaled version under 30, i was shocked to say the least.

Shit thats bad dude, she has really bad judgement. I understand giving your students encouragement and wanting them to do well but its also kinda bad if you get their hopes up.

I wouldbe bloody pissed if that happended to me.

I was pretty surprised with both Biology and Chinese.

I got As in my Bio SACs for Unit 4, and only managed to get 1.5 marks above the A+ mark for the mid-year exam. I was expecting a 41-42 at most. I didn't really put much effort into the subject as I did for my others...the whole year, I pretty much would just only listen to podcasts and do a few NEAP questions and that was it.

Last year in Chinese, my teacher expected me to get > 42, but I ended up with a 38. For some reason, my A+ sacs scaled down to an A even with an A+ in the exam. What I found weird was that some girl in my class got A in the exam but got to keep her A+ SACs, so we got the same score.

Probably English and Business.

Business - Dropped 5 marks throughout the year, ranked 3rd, expected 42-45 and a mid-high A+ on the exam, finished up with a 40 and an A on the exam (which I will base on the fact that my handwriting was atrocious).

English - Went in hoping for a 40, felt that my exam was extremely poor, expected a low A and most likely B+ exam - ended up with an A+ and a 42 SS; very surprised when I had predicted a 35-36 following that exam!

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. -.-
