  :)what've you got?

[TonyHem]

does anyone know how we can actualy get one of these
my school has left me completely in the dark : (

Your school doesn't know. You need to fill out a request for a SoM and send it to VCAA ( it costs money though).

83/90. I'm slightly disappointed i was aiming a little higher. What kind of study score do you think its worth?

Print it from here: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/schooladmin/forms/vce/statemarksinspectscripts.pdf
and send it off to the address down the bottom, should only take 3-4 days for you to get it back.

I got the same as you sam5, where did you lose your marks?

[jywalker]

since the cutoff is 79/90, assuming a similar one in the end of year and A+ sac average

I'd expect a 43-45 study score if you got 83/90 on the next exam aswell

ahh right. thanks mate.

andrew, i lost 1 mark for a calculator error on the bank column question 1.1.2 (FML), 1 mark on subsidiary ledger working, a (perhaps) dubious 1.5 marks on residual value theory question (i'm really can't see how i lost marks on this one),  1 mark for not having stock gain overstated, somehow .5 of a mark on commencing entry question, 1 mark on cashflow statement, 1 mark on GJ entries.
I don't understand how i lost marks on residual value theory question and commencing entry question. any ideas?

[phanphy]

I wonder what kinda score you'd need for a fifty xD

I received my statement of marks the other day. Came back with a 173/180..which translates to 86.5/90... I thought accounting didn't have such a system as half marks? Does anyone have a clue how I recieved half marks for a question. (Question 1.?

[darlok]

One marker gave it m/n, the other gave it (m-1)/n

I think that the mid-year papers were marked twice by two assessors. and then they just average between the two given that there isnt a large discrepency.

[Noblesse]

The examination marking process is rigorous, carefully and expertly conducted, and designed to be fair to all students. For most studies, your examination papers are marked twice, by two different markers. Each marking is done separately and each marker does not know the marks given by the other marker. If there is insufficient agreement between their marks, the paper is assessed by a third marker.

For Mathematics, Accounting, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, examination papers are marked by a single marker. This is because in these examinations experience shows there is little or no difference in the marks given by pairs of markers marking the same paper.

In these examinations, the GAT is used to identify which students will have their papers marked a second time. A student’s GAT score is used to calculate their predicted examination score. If a student’s examination score is significantly different from this predicted score, their paper will be marked again.

The GAT is also used as part of a final check on examination scores. If a student’s final examination score is significantly different from the score predicted by the GAT, school indicative grades, other examination scores or School-assessed Tasks for the study their examination will be assessed again by the Chief Assessor’s panel. See the Anomalous Examination Grades page for more information.

A student’s score may go up or stay the same, but it will not go down as a result of this final check.

For Chem this year, two people mark it.

Dont know about accounting then

[nbalakers24]

do examiners give half marks?

[monokekie]

hmmmm... i Think they get something like base score and max score, according to the statement of marks, the chem exam is out of 73 marks in total, so the total "base score" is 73 and total "max score" is 146, and the final mark is out of 146. so generally speaking they do give half marks, if you are referring to the marks rewarded on the actual exam

141 pretty disappointing like 3 or 4 off an A lol so what if i get another B+ for end of year?what's do u guys think would be a realistic study score?and what if i got an A?
