Very Weird ENTER/Exam stories....

[xXNovaxX]

Hey all

Just wnated to complile a list of weird exam/ENTER outcomes.

For example;

I did a subject which was  MEANT to be my top 4! Like I was very confident in it, got great marks in the year, ranked like 3rd in my class, and it ended up being OUT OF my top 4, so i only gained 10%, and a subject I did NO revision on, swear to god, absolutely no revision,, woke up 1 hour before the exam (slept and played games day before), it went in my top 4.....LOL, and I actually did really good in it ><, got top range 30's

I was flabbergasted at how my SS for the subject i was GOOD AT, only gave me 10%.... lol.

And for the subject I did no revision in, I skipped 2 questions, and for the essays I rote 4 pages of RUBBISH, like I made it ALL up on the spot, hardly used facts/figures etc, just stuff I know from the news

My point is, I barely did any study during the exam period......but got great results
Furthermore, I should add, i did study VERY hard for SACS....maybe thats why I did better?? I don't know, but yeah like you don't have to study too much during exams, maybe just study intensively/cram in 1 or 2 days before.

So people, don't lose hope if you did bad on SACS, u can make up for it during ur examination period.

Same thing happened to me. Spent all year on spesh, no time whatsoever on BM, BM ended up being a 50 somehow, whilst spesh was in my bottom 2. Hmph.

This has happened to me every year so far.

Last year my highest SS was for a subject that I only studied for on the day of the exam.

This year I managed to somehow score a 50 in the subject I quite literally did next to no study for throughout the year and did only 3 trial exams as revision.

Furthermore, the only subject which I have felt completely confident in my exam and school performance ended up being my 7th subject.

Just shows VCE produces some completely random results. I swear the feeling of a 39 pre-results can feel the exact same as a 50.

Ouch! LOL, I guess it works to be a mixed blessing =S

And it's weird, because Spesh goes UP, and BM goes down....yet you overcame this, and had BM in your top 4 ><

@lynt, Yeah I agree with you! but I am not complaining....I don't know what I "think" about all this, because my marks I am happy with ><, I wonder why this happens though, maybe because you spend SO much time on sometihng, you start not "learning" anymore, that is, it doesn't "stick" in your head...whereas a subject you're bad at, is easier to "learn" new points etc? I have no idea.

Not when you get 50

haha yeah I know, LOL. I meant like since it scales down, it usually works against you, so you need even MORE effort.

well both subjects I tried hard in, I got crap SS.

I thought I know the lot in psych, I studied a lot and made sure I knew the lot, ended up with less than 40 for it. Maybe it is due to having a great mid-year and overconfidance for the end of year exam

I studied so hard for Physics but somehow it got knocked out of my top 4 =S Somehow replaced by Chemistry which I hate.

Same thing with me. I was positive that I was going to get 50 for Further, spent all year perfecting my knowledge and then exam time comes along, Further is in my bottom two and Accounting somehow gets a 49 and makes it into my top 4. I mean, WTF?

For Physics i got 89/90 in the first exam, a Perfect score in sacs and an A+ in the final exam(dont know what i got though) and i ended up with a 40.
Physics was the one subject i thought i might off gotten 50 in.

[Ilovemathsmeth]

OMG that's so tight!

err I doubt that =S
LOL, not syaing you are not telling the truth, but pretend you got a  low A+, I am sure that would still be like 43-45?

I think someone in my school got 90/90 on exam 1 and an A+ on exam 2 and a 42 (Not sure on their SAC marks but assuming A+)

I think they must have been very tight when marking physics this year. Bad luck to the people who have to suffer because VCAA produced a rubbish first exam.

haha that is precisely what depressed and confounds me. i think even if i got the lowest possible A+ i should still deserve atleast 43

Revs was a bit suprising to me. Perfect scores all year, practise exams all A+, and I was pretty happy with my work in the exam. Reassured by the fact that my teacher said that everything I wrote was exactly what I should have written. GAs A+, A+, A+ and study score...42. Figure I must have epically stuffed the exam, without realising it. =(
Basically same story with English. Dropped one mark for the year. GAs A+ A+ A+, and SS 42.
