CHEMISTRY... so like i got my yearly mark back (68%), SO BS

i dont get it... when i do quizzes in tutor, i do well 80%+ but when it comes to school which is easier...i get low WHY??????????

is it because im doing sillies? (havent gotten test back, only mark)

i found the test medium difficulty like 6-7/10

Or am i too confident?

How did you compare to everyone else in the class?
You probably just need to do practice questions

from what you've described it sounds most likely a lack of applying your skills to the exam questions.

Have you practiced past exams/HSC trials? They might be more HSC style than what "quizzes" you do.

I dont know what everyone got, i asked my mark after school, i didnt do many past paper questions (prelim)

I know the whole concept...but maybe you are right!

I might be bad at applying my knowledge on questions

But i was so confident i was gonna get 80%+

Are you answering questions properly? You might be losing marks if not. My teacher always emphasises reading questions carefully and knowing action verbs so you are able to write a response and give the marker what they want for full marks.

When i get my test back, I will come back to this thread and say what are my problems

I just got mine back too. I learnt that the expectations and standards set out by the marking criteria of the HSC is much more strict. I lost marks which were in fact correct but it did not fulfil the criteria. It was soo frustrating !! In the end I learnt to accept it and improve on my answers in future.

Suck it up, I lost a mark for having extra details and satisfying all of the criterion.
