1 mark off band 6 (1 Viewer)

[Narelle]

did anyone else miss out on band 6 by "one mark" or like it was really close....

its really really annoying

anyone else share in this pain...lol... its like ur soo close by not there....

UAI will probably be the same.....

like tomorrow someone might get 89.9.... but not 90

far out....

I WAM - i want another mark (our principal had this motto thing)

 

[= Jennifer =]

yeah it happened to me i got 89 for business studies argggh that one mark would have changed my predicted uai by 1

 

[tennille]

That's me for physics.

It is almost taboo for anyone in my school to get over 90 in English Advanced, its never been done and getting 87 is so close to it, just if I had taken my time in the AOS paper.

 

[persephone]

my extension eng 2 mark was 44, one mark shy of 45 which would have been an e4...the highest you can get in a one unit subject

 

[Acid]

I got 89 for modern and english adv so I missed out on all rounders by a bee's pecker.....

 

[Sarah168]

yeah, my hist ext was 44. I was annoyed but that would be asking for too much. I studied for it in a day (had modern the day before) and didnt bother much with the case study anyway...ah well.

 

[aidan910]

i got 89 in business studies.... and if i had of got the other mark it would have been my second band 6....

i got 92 in general maths.. and i was the only person in my school to get a band 6..... thats the country schools for ya !!!

 

[:: dreami ::]

dont get me started

my only band fives -- 88 89 and 88

grrrrr :X

 

[<<lauren>>]

i got two 89's, in maths and adv english...they would have been nice as 90's, but then id be being quite greedy

anyone else get marks pulled down by assessment marks?

 

[Jago]

yep, if only i bothered more with them...then there were some unfortunate stuff ups

but i guess in other subjects, assessments pulled me up

 

[Templar]

Not in the HSC, but missed out on a band 6 by one mark in the SC and 2 band 5s by one mark.

Well somebody has to be just below the cutoff.

 

[BillyMak]

I got 89 in Ext. 2 maths, but I'm not complaining, cos I got band 6s in physics and ext. 1 maths.

 

[ms.cinderella]

oh i know how it feels! it's like they were so cruel not to give us those extra one or two marks.. *sigh*

 

[digmahstigma]

band 6/e4 for everything except modern history... which i got 89 for.

but im over it, its better than getting 88

This is gonna sound so nerdy but I would DIE if I got 89 in Modern. Its my fav subject and missing out by one mark (even it doesnt make THAT much of a difference to the UAI) would kill me...

 

[digmahstigma]

argh actually i checked it out and according to sam it would have given me .5 more..just enough to get into my course :S bummer.
