Mid-year Results 2008

before i decide to purchase a SoM, i was wondering if someone could tell me what format it's in and exactly what kind of information will be included?

[psychlaw]

how many marks you got (out of 180), where you lost the marks that you lost, and what the correct answers are

[moshi]

so there won't be any explanation or anything, just, for example, a short answer question: you got 2 out of 3?

AHHH HOW TO PUT IMAGES IN A POST???

edit: nvm did it

[SP3CIALIS7]

I got an A, was expecting an A+ as were many others I know who got A's (while a few did get A+) but looking at the grade distribution I am not entirely surprised. Guess I'll just have to work harder for the next exam.

[username]

I posted this in another board but can anyone clarify this? :

I missed out on an A+ by 4 marks according to my score of 160/180. If this was out of 90, I'd only have missed out by 2 marks.

Do I have to work for an additional 4 or 2 marks in my next exam?

[costargh]

Out of 90, you now need to make up 4 marks to be at the bare minimum A+ mark for both exams combined.

If the A+ range stayed the same for the end of year, you would now need 84/90

[username]

Thanks Costargh, but if its out of 90, why would I need to make up 4?  If I got an A+ for the second exam, and got 2 marks extra to spare, couldn't that be counted for 2 on the first exam, technically making it so that I got A+?

[psychlaw]

I got 81.5/90

if only I could have gotten 0.5 marks more, made me depressed for a day, I'm still happy

[costargh]

If A+ cut off for both exams was 82/90, and you got 82/90 for both then you would get 164/180 for mid year and end of year combined

If you got 80/90 for mid year and got 82/90 for end of year you would end up with 162/180 which obviously doesn't make the minimum A+ cut off. HOWEVER, consider this fact, not everyone that got A+ on exam one will get A+ on end of year so you don't really need to get the minimum (using the way Ive used)... but heres another thing to consider... for pysch is it 10% of people that get A+?.... only 9% get 40+ SS so it adds another thing to think about

[costargh]

I got 81.5/90

Damn... good work though! SEEE you basically got an A+ so dont fret and just work harder! =)

since you got 80/90 for exam 1, 2 of the 4 marks will make up the marks needed for the A+ in the first exam, leaving you with 82/90 for the second exam, which averaged out would be a borderline A+ for both
i think costargh meant gain 4, not make up 4

And if we didn't take into account the second exam at all, technically I would only to make up 2 extra. I kinda get it now, I hope.

Thanks for the help guys. I've been fretting

And good job psychlaw - you were more upset than I've been! Haha.
