Anyone do surprisingly BAD?

I walked out of the exam feeling like a God, writing a freakin' novel on the paper (so much).

And i received a crap scoreeee! Argh.

Anyone experience something similar or the total opposite?

I don't do BM, but my friend was ranked 1 (in a school that got 13 50s in BM a couple of years ago) and got a 39...

Must have been a hard exam

Aww unlucky mate. But at least you raped it overall.

I swear i only dropped a max of 10 marks, and my result was shocking, and didnt help being scaled down 2.1 (although that is nothing compared to previous years.)

Its funny though because i walked out of english extremely discontent... i was so pissed off yet scored in the 40's :S

I srsly dont know what the examiners want, especially receiving D, D, C+ in economics, those grades have a such a large variation in them.

That happened in my year as well I think. The guy who got the BM prize ended up getting like 39 as well I think. That shoulda been my prize! D: Same goes for bio actually; guy who got that in '07 ended up getting 42 I think. Just shows that SACs aren't the best indicator for exam performance.

Very true, I got As and B+s and somehow got a 42 (in bio)

Feel sorry for all the BM people though...

I should note that I was also rank 1 for both units, does that mean my fail A drags down the whole cohort?

^ yes it does, in Religion and Society last year, the Rank 1 got a 42, and that brought all our marks down.

HOWEVER some dude got a 46 so dont feel bad!

Rohitpi... thats crazy :S

I was the total opposite. Felt like I completely screwed the exam up an ended with a high score. It's weird

Had the same feeling as you. Walked out thinking I'd scored low 40s and ended up with a 50. BM's a really difficult subject to tell how you went =/ It's just all in how you write your answers really. Almost everyone above 40 knows the entire course already.

what's worse is I spent most of my studying on busman and ended up getting a worse scaled SS than a subject I practically gave up on after seeing my mid years

yeh you see I got the same result and it could not have been a bigger shock. Guys like avo deserve much better! Overall my cohort performed exeptionally, I think it's based on some solid scores out of only 11. That can make a difference
