ahh, that's not so bad. try getting study scores of 48 and 49... they scale to 49.something for both of them but not a 50 lol. but ehh, everyone makes mistakes =P
48 and 49 in two of the hardest subjects as a year 11 student.. more than an extraordinary achievement.

I think we'll find reasons to feel shit with any mark we get unless we couldn't have done better. For example, while I am very happy with my English score and could never be disappointed or frustrated with it (nearly ten points higher than expected, let's be serious) - I still maintain that I fucked up the exam, because I wrote my context piece in thirty minutes. So I am not happy with my exam performance because it did not go to plan. If everything went to plan, and I score one point less, I would have nothing to complain about. I just could have performed better on the exam.

Has anyone ever felt shit after getting an A+? Normally I'm over the moon, but this time I'm kind of annoyed that I made a few minor mistakes and could've gotten higher.. (this is for english btw)
That is the correct mindset!!!

You're becoming a perfectionist (not that it's a bad thing).

I am hardly ever happy with my marks because I can always find mistakes and areas I need to improve on. It's an annoying feeling tbh - you start criticising yourself for relatively minor things, but at least you can keep finding mistakes to iron out

Only on atarnotes :P jks

Seriously I was the same when I completed VCE. I think it's a good sign though. It means you're hungry and determined to live up to your potential.

Keep up the good work!

I know I'll be slightly irritated if I lose marks in part b of my business SAC! It was worth 15 marks, so each mark is quite important!

Mr Keshy how do you think you went? Mine was out of 25, so I'd be okay with a score of 20/25 at minimum, anything on or above 22/25 would be very pleasing.

Part A was out of 25 marks and I managed 22, made a blunder on the question on contrasting between management structures :(
Part B, I feel I should be getting all 15 marks in this. However my wording may have let me down again and costed me a bit here. I'll know soon though!

Tomorrow I'm going to somewhere in the city for the state budget announcement with around 6-7 others from my school, having breakfast there and doing some other things too! :)

But I have to get up at 5 -_-

Fingers crossed :D Every single SAC, I've looked at, at least one question and said "What in the world was I thinking when I wrote that down?" :P

I can relate. I've heard stories from my teacher in class that some students write crap like "strategic planning is good because it goes for 2 to 5 years" and some really, really funny responses. I actually laughed so hard that I forgot, lol. I'm guilty of this too though.

Oh how I can relate to this. You know how many times I have forgotten to label my axes in Maths? And it keeps slipping my mind in the SAC. I did this just today. >_<
