[BLIT2014]

Figured I'd post my marks from the half-yearlies I finished at the end of last term. I just got my results back.

My maths marks are confusing. Instead of having a half yearly, we just had an exam in week 6 of the first term. Anyway, I tied first with 39/40. That was a 2U exam, so I don't know what the deal is with 3U.
I just got my results back for physics today. 84%. First in the grade.
For chemistry, I got 67/68 (99%). First in the grade.
For engineering studies, I got 85%. First in the grade.
For business studies, 64/70 (91%). Second in the grade.
For advanced english 34/45 (76%). Somewhere about halfway in down the class.

My original goal for this year was to come first in all my subjects by the end of the year. It is a low ranking school (300s or so), so coming first is not impossible. Now I just need to focus my energy into my business studies and english, but not lose my position in other subjects at the same time.

Nice marks/ranks.. Keep it up!

Hey, if you want to swap notes or anything for geography, just PM me. I know there are not many textbooks or past papers for Geo

Probably best to post a new thread so people who ''specialise'' in ATAR predictions can help out.

Lol I had to decide mine in like March, and the project's due term 3, week 2. I ended up taking a teacher's recommendation to explore traffic on the road where my school is located.

I'm not entirely sure yet, tossing up between the new Local Environment Plan for my local council, or a new housing development near my school.

My teacher told us to look at an issue that was local, so it was easy to find information about. Maybe you could try a park or river near by or is there a new housing development nearby?

 

[WrittenLoveLetters]

49/50 for Economics. I got a 19/20 for my essay, but I didn't have any comments from the teacher outlining any problems - so maybe I'll ask about that 1 mark and try get 100% for Economics Half Yearly.

3U Mathematics rekted the whole class; anyone who got 90% is a god for this half yearly.

And what did you get in 3U?

The more local it is, the easier it is to access, and therefore the easier the project becomes
Yeah rivers are good- could look at runoff or something though human geography is easier because you don't have to go and buy testing equipment, just make some surveys and interview people

 

[WrittenLoveLetters]

And what did you get in 3U?

Not sure yet Probably like 70% - 80% LOL. That would be a heavy drop from the 28/30 I got from Assessment Task #1.

 

[forelsket]
