Physics Unit 4 Exam discussion

[NE2000]

Yeah unfortunately for you the 88 classifies as a mid A+ :S

I don't think more than 15 or so students are going to get a perfect score on this exam (because, despite what people are saying, I think a lot of people will drop unexpected marks for the explanations) - it was considerably more demanding than previous exams. And out of this 15, I don't think all would've scored 100% on exam 1 and SACs.

Out of my experiences with my 3/4 last year (and that of people I know who got their statement of marks), it appears that in a subject where one exam is disproportionately more difficult/tricky than the other, the more difficult one has a far greater impact on your study score. Which is why I told people who lost a couple of marks on physics midyear that rebounding is very possible.

[appianway]

Of course! If someone lost 2 marks on the midyear, achieved a scaled perfect score in SACs (presuming an amazing rank in an exceptionally, exceptionally strong cohort) and full marks on the end of year paper, a 50 would probably be possible.

[Kermit]

What sort of mark would I be looking at if I got:

90/90 1st exam
87/90 2nd exam

and top 3 for SACs at my school (relatively high achieving).

[avram_grant]

are itute solutions coming out tonight?

[crappy]

what about:

89/90  exam 1
86/90  exam 2

With second ranking in a good cohort. gah, I messed up physics big time.

i dont think youve messed up, thats mid-high 40s raw

thanks mate, that really means alot to me right now. I would karma you but I dont have enough posts.

[scope9]

what would you need to get high 30 raw?

Yeah that is an awesome score, easily in the 40's.

lol thanks TT, champion!

(I know how annoying this question is as its always being asked).. but, do you guys reckon sac marks will make much of a difference to your study score?

Exam 1: 87/90 (only person to get an A+)
Exam 2: 85/90 (worst case scenario)
Sacs: High A (89%) and ranked maybe top 7 out of some 50 kids... (isn't too good lol)
