Predict me some study scores?

[kyzoo]

I don't really tolerate anything less than full marks, and whilst this is not always possible, it will always be my goal and i'll continue to strive for it.

Lol I used to be like this, but now I only adopt this attitude towards exams. IMO it's a detrimental attitude to hold towards SACs and tests, as it leads you to do a lot of redundant work: work that has minimum benefit. A perfectionist attitude, however, prevents you from letting go of any activity with the slightest benefit. It's hard to let go and experiment with more efficient and effective methods when you're so attached to getting perfect marks in the first place.

This term I have experimented with avoiding the extensive preparation (except for English) I used to do for my SACs. And what has happened? Exact same results as before. Which means a lot of what I was doing before was a total waste of time.

What sort of SS can I get in Chem with a 72.5/75 on the midyear and say 72/75 on the end of year?

I'm guessing 45+ is just about gone.  Can't believe i screwed the chem exam up...especially when it was so fkn easy.

Not likely to be top 4 anymore.

Exactly how I'm feeling for Physics. Spesh, Chem, Methods are looking like top 3 at the moment. I need 45 in Physics to surpass my Methods score... Very unlikely..

Thanks.  I get how you feel.  I'm not having a bitch or anything, but you work hard to prepare for an exam only to get stuffed over by ridiculous mistakes which nothing could prepare you for.

But yeah, we can just try hard in the next 10 weeks and  and try to elevate other subs into the top 4.

@matt123
And no, I am not aiming for a perfect ATAR, far from it.  I would like 99+ so I can possibly get into Med @ UQ.  So I need the best possible scores in everything because English and EngLang aren't exactly my strong points.

I don't really tolerate anything less than full marks, and whilst this is not always possible, it will always be my goal and i'll continue to strive for it.

Wow dude, that really sucks for you since you dont get any of the UQ bonus scheme... I only get +1 LOL. But those who do spesh and a language can get a 95 still have the same OP ranking as you (if you got that 99).

hi , justt got two subjects, methods and bio

Bio - Mid year A+ (67.5)
Sacs A+ high
END of year A+ ( hopefully >68)

Methods
 
Sacs A+ (95 raw probably moderate up to 98 99 based on previous years)
First exam 38/40 (speculative)
second exam 77+ (speculative)

Yeah, only for exams, I totally agree.  I was so cut after my first Methods SAC this year, after about a week I realised that if I carried on like this every time I made a couple of mistakes, it will be the end of me.  But for exams, you've got to aim for full marks.

And yeah, I know happy.  People in my boat all get stuffed over, with students who get a 95+ ATAR getting a chance at UQ as long as they do LOTE or Specialist Maths, all highly relevant to medicine might I add, whilst anything less than 99 ATAR for all other students get the door slammed in their face.

Why the hell not make biology a prerequisite?

[chem.]

say ur rank isnt soo good but say u only drop 3-5 marks combined across both exams, wat kind of ss would this get? this is for methods and spesh btw

[yejiawen]

Further Math

SACS average = 95% (2-3rd in a large cohort)
EXAM 1 (MID A)
EXAM 2 (MID A)

Methods (CAS)

SACS average = 92%
EXAM 1 (MID A)
EXAM 2 (MID A)

Thank you! ^^

37-38 for both.

Physics
SACS- 90%
Exam 1- B
Exam 2- x
SS-35
find x?

Economics
Unit 3: 95/100 (probably moderated down to like 75-80% after exam)
Unit 4: 90/100
Exam: B

Accounting

SAC: 190/200
Exam 2: High A

SS's?

[cypriottiger]

~mid to high A

*breathes* thanks i thought i would need a minimum of low A+

SS's?

Difficult to say cos of SAC rankings, but estimate anyway:

Eco: 32-33
Accounting: 36-37 assuming the B+ was mid-high
Englang: 32-33

[_avO]

Would it help if I said for Eco I'm rank 2 and for Language I'm like rank 7 or 8
Thanks for the estimations

[letsride]

you guys do realise you shouldn't be going by the advice thats given to you here, it's only an estimation which could potentially be way off.

[happyhappyland]

Physics
SACS- 90%
Exam 1- B
Exam 2- x
SS-35
find x?

Mid A probably.

Another one for everyone Biol this is..
First in SACS
63/75 so a low A+ (cut off was 59)
68+ on Exam 2
Thanks in advance.
