SAC Rage

Hey guys this is more of a rage rather than a question

Today, I was innocently writing up my prac report for our membrane prac when one of my classmates accidentally turns on the tap violently and THE WATER GOES ALL OVER MY PRAC REPORT! OMG
So my teacher let me stay behind and re-do a bit of it, BUT STILL! I have to finish it off in my single period on Monday AS WELL AS DISCUSSION QUESTIONS!
I'm going to be so tight for time gaah worst start to the year.

Any of you guys have similar stories?

uhh during English when we had a practice language analysis SAC the teacher asked me to go get her printing (well it was a copy of my practice analysis's) from the other building during the hour so I didn't end up having time to re-check my work and got a B+ on it due to "needs proof-reading!"

PS. gaah I just realized that this was in the bio thread, ignore my mini-rant in that case.

dw! I had only 25 mins to do my first SAC write-up, when people in other classes got more than 80 minutes (one guy in particular got more than 2 hours!)! I was pretty nervous, and the time limit got me pretty stressed out.

(it was probably after that SAC that I gave up on bio though)

yea, story of my life
last year, IT sacs.. Our teacher let us take ours home, so naturally i spent hours upon hours on them, perfecting them in every aspect.
They ended up to be 20-30 pages long, (including probably 10-15 pages worth of screenshots, which were necessary).
He never told us our marks because he felt he didn't need to..
in the end we all found out we got 75% (which obviously meant he didnt go through a single one) and that pulled everyone's scores down heaps, (especially cause students were incorrectly ranked)

And regarding spillage on prac papers (like OP), I spilled KMnO4 on my chem stuff last year... Bit annoying, but was pretty funny  ;D

At least water doesn't stain stuff a dark purple and consequently deem them unreadable...



@Nacho, that should be taken up with VCAA for sure!

Thank God!
I've been stressed as about what to do on Monday. As if you can give up on bio and still end up getting a 42, that's ridiculous LOL Imagine what you could have got if you didn't give up

My 2 SAC rages:

Our new classrooms occupy 50 students but VCE English classes have only 25 students in each, so our teachers booked one half of the room, only to realise on SAC day that a year 7 class of 50 was timetabled in BOTH halves of the room. ==' so everyone was hallf furious and half happy.. what pissed me off, though, was that I was in the perfect mindset to do the SAC, but then boom.. postponed. I hate it when you get all ready for something and then it doesn't go to plan.

And another one about English SACs. I heard of this one class just cheating their whole way through the year, whilst their teacher was on their laptop. Typing up (generalised) essays in size 8 font, printing them and putting them into dictionaries, Googling plot summaries DURING a SAC on their phones, passing notes around, and yeah, you get the point. That annoyed the hell out of me the whole year, to be honest.

Oh wow, that's a lot of work..

Anyway, I can officially join in with this thread as of Friday. Presented my oral, was very nervous, teacher smiled and said good job. Then, up comes this girl who I've known for a while and can't stand she's never cared about school and never contributes in class. So I think, here we go. And then she recites this amazing speech, full of great techniques and a timed slide show which worked very effectively. I'm amazed, I think, maybe I've missed judged this girl who showed up to school drunk several times last year. I'm walking down the corridor later that day, and bam, there she is, talking with her 20 year old sister who received a 96 ATAR two years ago, about how much she appreciates the fact her sister let her reuse the oral she wrote two years ago.

Very, very annoyed.

Damnnnn... you've got to at least give her a slight bit of credit though, it sounded amazing because of the way she communicated/expressed/presented it too.

;D You gotta admit... unless her 96 ATAR sister wrote stuff like 'put on a sarcastic tone right NOW' or 'stare down your teacher after the full stop' and so on, on the paper?! :P

Not sure, if this is any significance for a SAC Rage.
