Chem Results

teacher said i wouldnt get any benefits because i sat the exam and was apparently "ok" when i was coughing every 20 seconds in the exam lol..

but oi .. put excuses aside
either way .. i still got a B .. cant change that
but the fact that im getting C instead of A for sacs is ridiculous

if i get a high A+ for end of year exam .. is 35 raw still possible with B mid year ( down from A to C in sacs) and A+ end of year:

Yes you can still get 35. But from the general impression I have got so far, your teacher is an idiot. Always talk to your VCE coordinator for these things.

Remember your UNIT 3 Sac mark is 16% of your mark, so if you can stay at the top of your class and get rank 1 or 2, then get A+ on your exam you can end up with like:
B+ B A+ =33-37

hmm yeah thanks guys
sorry for the rant i just had ..
just extremly upset/pissed off that all my effort has literally gone down the drain .. and apprently im taking some dumb retards sac marks who dosnt study at all and gets 50-60% ... hmmmm

thanks peeps
appreciate it

I agree with this, if you were coughing from a chest infection then you sound like a candidate for a DES.

On the 35 thing, I got a B and an A+ and got a 37 (not in chem) with average sac marks, so I would say that 35 is achievable.

[matt123]

thanks buddy
i do hope so .. because 35 raw would boost up to .. 38-40
anyways
appreciate the help

i dunno. it cant be entirely that way. like i said with my example in revs, i was ranked ~10th, i got the highest score (44) only one other person got 40+ and he was ranked first on the SAC's. My SAC hardly even equated to A+ yet i still got three A+'s.

VCAA is confusing.

[matt123]

yeah it is
i think only shot i have left in getting 35+ is getting an A+ end of year . and try to boost sac average up a little
cheers guys

Ive always wondered how much sacs ACTUALLY contribute... not what they claim to contribute

[linahh123]

I was ranked second in sacs and i ended up getting the highest exam mark but the person who was ranked first in sacs still got higher sac marks then me

A+ (finally checked lol)
- shaded in the wrong box for a multi choice that was so easy (S-S one) i didn't bother to check over.
- the extra 0 i randomly added in for that question, i did at the start, so i lost 2 marks there for that even though the rest was right
- accidentally read the pH/temp thing wrong, got confused with symbols
- misunderstood the last question and got 2 wrong there
fml, all stupid things and i knew the course so well.
there goes my high 40's....

Was this all provided with your statement of marks ($8.80)?

don't worry vexx.  you still did awesome, and that exam had a million and one booby traps in it.

It just had the questions i got wrong with a 0/2 for example next to it, and then i looked through a copy of the exam and realised, etc.

don't worry vexx.  you still did awesome, and that exam had a million and one booby traps in it.

thanksss. but my dreams of 45+ will be so difficult now, i will aim for 44-45; that's still a very good score

[stonecold]

yeah, 45 is still awesome.  it scales to ~48, so that is a really nice score.

yep thats so amazing if you think about the scaling, even 44 to 47.X is good!
..just gotta get a high A+ this time.

I think I struck every single booby trap lol... knew the course so damn well..

same, fell for stupid stuff.
ok i will study harder this time, i got a little bit arrogant along the way, "oh i know this, i'll just skip it" and ending up with less time suspected to go over everything in the real exam. arghhh my fault for not being more careful &reading..

ok andrew, we will not be fooled by the next tricks they give us!
