just a random question.

Since physics is highly competitive this year, i could imagine many people getting full marks in the exam.... does that mean the study score ranking becomes more dependent on SAC marks? 

Who knows how poorly/pr0ly people will do on the end of year exam, gotta wait until end of year to decide. :)
haha. i hope physics people are getting a harder exam for unit 4. however, apparantly there's a rumour saying that all exams are made at the start of the year. considering the unit 3 exam being uber easy, a physics teacher said she wouldn't imagine the standard of the unit 4 one be of much difference.

again, who knows :)

Haha, at my school out of about 90 physics students,
about 11 got A+
30 people got an A
rest got a B or B+

NO ONE got a C !
out of 90?

I got an A though :( *sigh*

A+

Yeah, but can they change the unit 4 physics exam by the end of the year (at least until they print it)?
When I get sad, I stop being sad, and be AWESOME instead. True story.

C+...lame. I actually did quite a lot of study too for it. I just forgot some things during the exam, but remembered them right afterward.  :(

I feel rather stupid compared to everyone else here. Lol, only 8 people at my school did physics out of about 120 year 12 students.

Aww... it's ok!
Take it as a learning curb, hopefully you'll be less stressed for end-of-year and can recall things more easily :)

haha my school must suck, no one got an A+ ;/

Lol... I was the *only* person in my whole year to get an A+ on a midyear.


Congrats to everyone~!!
On the whole, it seems the people on here have a lot to be proud of! ^_^

Last year when I did physics only 2 people at my school got an A+ for physics (me and another guy).

With physics the unit 4 exam may be about the same in difficulty but take my work: "Do not think because you got an A+ for unit 3 you'll get one for unit 4". I probably didn't put in as much study for the unit 4 exam and finished with a stinking A.

With that decision my plan to get a 40 in one of my subjects was ruined. :'(

Its all cool.

With most subjects if you get say 2 B+'s you can expect 33 - 34 (maybe 35), 2 A's 35 - 38 (maybe 39) and A+ 39 - 50.

Bottom line if you are beating yourself up about getting an A, don't its still a great score to get for an exam.

But juggling all your subjects apart from one or two will be much more of a challenge than this.

This exam was ridiculous as it doesn't seem to have split the state considering the massive cut off...so the Unit 4 exam will be really important...

A+

Like half my school.

I think that the high cut off reflects how ridiculous the exam was. Seriously, the difference between an A+ and an A wasn't physics - it was whether or not you coloured in the right bubbles on the multiple choice.

It was 120 year 12 students. That is not very small I am sure.
