So far....very disappointed. My parents being asian are too. Was hoping for a 90+ atar, but doubt I'm gonna get that now.

you seem pretty set for 90+ to me.

Is it just me or is there always 1 or 2 subjects in which you bomb out and it spoils the other results?

You're kidding me, right? English(only Paper 1 is being included), I'm expecting around 78%, and 3 u maths, around 50-55%. I mean, I haven't done that bad in all my other assessments. So maybe there's a slim chance???

I feel your pain, legal has back stabbed me...

Chem, Bio, MX2, English and SOR2 were my bomb subjects. But My lowest exam rank was =6th?

 

[krnofdrg]

This is madness if i don't get pro for english and eco tomoz im gonna rage... (2nd is predicted for each subject!!)

 

[chels777]

hmm your result might not have been what you desired, but your rank seems to have been okay. So if your happy with your other results, you should still be able to achieve highly =)

thanks

Biology 85%, dunno rank but top 10/45, average was 60%. Highest mark was like 93%, lowest was 35% :S I'm worried about such a big range, does that affect scaling?
English Advanced 68% not so great, but our english teachers are roughh. No idea rank at all yet
Senior Science 80% don't know rank for that either
Legal Studies 80% very happy with that mark, my best legal mark all year! and also no rank yet but average was .
General Maths 74% rank was 17/59, average was 61%. we were all a bit shocked, first time no-one got in the 90's

School rank = somewhere either side of 20th (last year was 22, year before 18 or around about there)

I'm hoping to get an ATAR at/above 92, last year half the year got 90+ so I think if we do as well in the HSC this year, I should be ok? We'll see!

amazing 3u english mark. i got 24/25 for the essay and 20/25 for the creative. arguably the most irritating creative question they could have asked (romanticism)

Dude you have no idea. The stimulus was so stupid! A twitter profile!? Lol seriously!? argh. Stupid CSSA writers. I do textual dynamics, and yeah it was really hard. I swear, I had some divine intervention that day. I re-read it and it was surprisingly better than I thought. I basically scrapped my prepared story and wrote a new one based on the stimulus and used aspects of my belonging story. Absolute fluke lol.

Yes you have a long tail for Biology. However, if your in the top 10 and you have 45 people doing the course, your towards the top. Scaling normally effects the middle, the rubber band is stretched, but is the 35% an outlier or did the bottom consistently get 35-45%?

Remember the scaling can only affect your assessment mark, and if your in the top ten, say 7th, you will get the 7th highest exam mark as your assessment mark, regardless of your exam mark, if the top 7 are performing good and are all bunched up, there is no reason why you will be 'scaled down'.

Btw, good work on Legal . Pick up the English and i'm sure you'll get that 92 ATAR

Only subject we both do.
Our top was 95% and average was like 69%. Not sure on lowest yet though. I think my cohort will do well this year.

How you do EE2 is beyond me.
Btw, your info is wrong.

I think there was about 6 fails, but I'm pretty confident that the 35% is an outlier. Other fails i've heard of were 48's and 49's.
Gosh English is miserable, after every assessment my whole class is all demoralised. But then the teacher goes "yeahh 14/20 for, say mod B, is really good!! If you're getting that then be happy!"
I find it a bit hard to be though, especially with a mark like that. At least I didn't fail like some.

Bring on the 18ths! After trials, I feel I deserve some fun
