How did we all find it?!

I was stumped by question 1 (a), and couldnt get my head straight from then on...

I would have gone well, but id be suprised if i get in the 90's, which i am devo about cos i got 49.4/50 for my end of year mark!

But its over now... that was the only exam i cared about cos i want a scholarship at Tocal (anyone goin to Tocal ag collage btw?

)

Hope you all went better than i did

haha i reckon! our teacher was sooo useless we didnt even know what we studied for the paper two modules!!
totally confused with the very first question and the rest! haha i memorized a scientific plant name and it wasnt even able to be related! haha through it in at the end of an essay on GM!

how'd everyone feel!!!!!! im not too confident our teacher always marked high i reckon so not sure how these guys'l mark! think i passed though!

6 to go...didnt even feel like that one counted!

larka · 20 Oct 2009, 9:07 PM

it definately wasnt as difficult as i imagined it was going to be.
especially after all the horror stories from the business studies exam beforehand

i went to a video conference from the ag hsc markers and they mark pretty leniently- they look to award marks.. they dont take any off

so i think everyone is alright there

Standard english
Agriculture (finished!)
Drama (half over!)
Bio
Maths
TAFE: Animal Studies (finished!)

Hey I think i went pretty good actually haha I am currently first in course at school so hopefully i got in the 90's. I was actually planning to go to tocal next year, not sure yet though!

I studied alot and actually was happy with all questions except question 1. YUK! it was hard and pointless, the diagram was different to what we learnt and it was poorly designed! god what happens at x hey, well.....

It was different to past papers, loved the question on pastures - only required intorduced species! and the hormone one was good to.
Overall i believe i aced it, dunno. I just love ag so much! its th one i study for all the time hahaha. I can't beleive high school ag is over for ever!

Predicting 8+ state ranks out of 10 from Ruse.

1+ of them will be my year 11 friend.

mandyxpoo · 21 Oct 2009, 12:50 AM

man i thought paper 1 was very...skills based and not ummm...the stuff we learnt in class based!

Eddykungfu · 21 Oct 2009, 6:24 AM

Because Agriculture is a good subject ....

ruse09 · 21 Oct 2009, 11:49 PM

Indeed it is done and dusted.
Too bad our school will once again take the majority of state rankings.

I wish there was more competition against our school; create a more level playing field.

Did you not hear? Hurlstone 09' > Ruse 09'

True story.

ScullyBCDali · 22 Oct 2009, 1:01 PM

I had too high esxpectations (my lowest mark all yaer was 97%) so i was disapointed... i was actuarlly aiming for 99/100% in this one, so i guess thats y i was so dissapointed when i coulnt answer the first question...

I do agriculture by correspondance, so im pretty porud of getting 99% as a yearly mark

(btw, never do correspondance courses unless youre 100% dedicated! THEY SUCK!)

Hey Meg, if you do decide you wanna go to tocal, give me a buzz! Would be good to chat to you over MSN... :P

ScullyBCDali · 22 Oct 2009, 2:15 PM

I was aiming to beat a few of the Ruse guys, but the first question threw me, and i had trouble getting my head back together...

I got 99% for my yearly mark, so was hopin to go well but... *sigh* we'll just have to see

Correspondance Agriculture FTW!

tankelpie · 22 Oct 2009, 2:25 PM
