I got an A+ for my coursework in Methods and then a C+ and C in the exams got me a 31. Although I was actually very happy with this since I was expecting a 25 and thought a 30 would put Methods in my top 4 due to scaling - instead, I did awesome in Lit and that snuck in there.

Last year I was really annoyed with Legal Studies. A+, A+, A+ and a 39. Funnily enough it has been one of the few subjects where I actually felt really damn good after the exam and thought I could have got 45+. I guess VCE has taught me that you just can't predict SS after an exam. From personal experience, a feeling of doing really well in an exam can result in a SS of 39-50.

This year I suppose methods was my only disappointment (SS=37). I wasn't expecting to get very high but I still think I could have done better (Most of my mistakes being stupid errors such as failing to add or misreading questions). I think if I had controlled exam nerves a bit better, especially during exam 1, I may have been able to hit the 40 mark.

Lol I felt crap after doing the Methods exam, and there were at least 5 ppl who after talking to them, I felt did much better than me. But then again, crap for Methods to me is not getting 100%.

Also I predicted 47-49, and my predictions proved accurate, so my experience doesn't agree with your sentiment of "you just can't predict SS after an exam."  :(

As you can see from my signature I did crap in bio.

I maintain my sanity in acknowledging the knowledge that I have accumulated from it and knowing it's still possible for me to get a 99+ ATAR. That's what I like about VCE, you can still do well even if you muck up one or two subjects! :)

Can uni students use this thread to discuss subjects they did crap in?

I did crap in linear algebra (like epic fail). I was aiming for an 80% average in it and I got 65%. This is after constant work, 97% average in assignments, 70% average in computer tests (mind you this is more on how you use MATLAB, than what you get examined on) and totally freaking out in the exam, one reason being examined on something our professor touched up on the one lecture before the last.

It is the one subject that really depressed me in terms of results.
