    Screwing up an exam

    You'll never get through tomorrow if you're still worrying about yesterday (or whatever day you're worrying about). Accept that it happened, and move on. Can't really do much about it now. The day after my maths exam, i was mulling over my answers with the online solutions, and realised that i...

    What emotions did you go through when you when you saw the questions?

    Module A: BladeRunner/Frankenstein. My best module out of all of them. Saw the question, and loved life. 4 and a half pages there. I won't be happy with less than 17/20 there. Module B: Orwell. Barely prepared for it at all. Thank god there was an excerpt that i could quote, along with bits and...

    Raw mark for band 5 and 6?

    Re: Raw mark for band 4? Thanks :) Just made my day a whole lot better.

    General Thoughts: Mathematics

    There's a thread on here that has the solutions. I think it's called Mathematics 2U Solutions, or something like that.

    Estimate your 2U mark :)!

    That sort of depends on your rank in a way. From this file i have that has a compilation of raw marks, a 110/120 last year was scaled to 96, so definitely 95 minimum like maths94 said. I'd say around 97-98, 99 if the markers are real nice :)

    What's the cut-off??

    Re: Band 6 cut off 2011?! So based off what i can tell from this file i have that has a compilation of raw marks from various people for various subjects, for maths last year and the year before (averagely): - 93 was the cutoff for a band 6. - 72-73 would be a band 5 cutoff (This is a rough...

    What will a raw mark of 90-99/120 give?

    Based on some of the predictions i've seen so far, i'm reckoning a 94-96 would be a band 6 cut-off since people have said that the exam was fairly easy compared to previous ones. I personally wish it was lower, but that's only because i think i may not have done as well as i'd previously thought :S

    Estimate your 2U mark :)!

    Question 10 wasn't a 3 unit question. The intensity/loudness bit was fairly easy, and i guess i didn't do enough study for the paddock bit :( I saw the 3-unit paper yesterday, and i'm so glad i dropped ext1 at the start of the year.

    Port macquarie 2011

    The way i'm going with organising schoolies, that's where i'm going to be (not leaving port). Hopefully i can get out of port for schoolies, otherwise it's going to be boring as hell without my friends.

    Is it true 2 markers mark your papers?

    In that way, yes. But if i get a high and a low from the two, and that gets averaged out to an average mark, then i'll cry (but not really, because i'll never know). Personally, and i think many would agree that the best situation to have is two markers who both give good marks, am i right?

    Walking out of the exam?

    I haven't walked out of any exams yet, and don't plan to. But i know some people who've left every exam early, and wrote hardly anything during that time.

    Any rural students on here that have opinion on how they'll go?

    Is Port Macquarie considered rural? I've heard regional and rural tossed around a few times, but i'm not entirely sure which one it is. At my school, we've got about 40 in year 12, and of those 40, i'm thinking about 10 of those will get an ATAR of 85+

    Section 1 - Stimulus

    I finished the short answer in 20 minutes, and felt good about it. Jack was an ungrateful little snob. I wish i could travel the world :(

    General Thoughts: Mathematics

    Probably not just you. I know a few people in my class that didn't really like the exam. I personally thought it was as good, if not easier than the past papers i did, though i just left a few things here and there because i honestly just didn't know them, or i had a mental blank at the time.

    Is it true 2 markers mark your papers?

    Makes sense, timewise. Hoping my essays don't get two complete differences of opinion now :S

    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    Wouldn't be surpised. 50 or 60 thousand kids all writing a cliched story that are all pretty much the same, would get fairly boring after the first thousand. Then occasionally they get one that's nothing like they've ever read before and then they give it a 15 without a second thought.

    Moderating Mathematics Marks

    Assuming all goes well, and if i'm not mistaken 105-110 is about 85-91% raw anyway, so that'd get scaled easily to 95+, and with your internal mark, i'd say you're looking at a 97. Don't take my word for it, that's just how it seems to me.
