When I first read that other post, I thought the same thing that Bringbackshred did - that the person had a mark, not rank, of 45/45 for Ext-2 Maths. Could it be possible that perhaps he/she had meant they are in the top 5% of the course and we have simply misinterpreted?nichhhole said:we're compelled to do the 2U course as well, that is, until we, and the teachers are confident with how we're going.
Ext2 students should generally be very high 2u and ext1 students, and your marks aren't reflecting that..
so you must be going to a selective school?
otherwise, i cant see why you would be allowed to be doing those courses with those kinds of rankings...
i'm with watatank...
drop to 2U..
focus on your other units..
[that said, i dont know which school you're at, what kind of standard your school has etc...]
Don't let one slip up get you down and most importantly don't let it affect your upcoming assessments. Your rank is reasonably good and if you work hard and do better in future assessments, I don't see why you can't improve the rank dramatically. You said yourself that you hardly studied prior to this assessment - next time make sure you are well prepared. Also, the assessments given over the year are of different types and the one you had might not be where your strengths are.dhampoet said:I got my chemistry assesment back from term 4 last year
Mark : 28/36
rank : 15/28
Is it still possible to climb up to the top 3 or even the first?
I need to get very high rank because I'm in a public school.
You are definitely in good shape! You will have to raise your marks a little, but your ranks are good! as long as you are consistent and maintain your rank, stay up there in ranking and improve bit by bit there's no reason why you can't get what you want!Scorch said:I got my Maths mark/rank back today, so I've got all my ranks and marks for assessments I've done so far:
2U Maths:
Mark: 73/100 (actually 33.5/46 - not sure how much the task is worth)
Rank: 4th
Ancient History:
Mark: 11/15
Rank: 2nd
History Extension:
Mark: 80/100
Rank: 2nd
Legal Studies:
Mark: 19/20
Rank: 1st
Are they decent? I'm hoping to get 95+ ....
Looks like they couldn't cope with the pressure of doing a part of the HSC in year 11. But if you can, then acceleration, in my eyes, is a pretty good option, as long as you are good at the subject you're accelerating.Matrocksmysocks said:As to acceleration - I'm not a fan. A lot of my friends were accelerated - really, really intelligent ones, and all they're doing is repeating the course because it was too much on them in Year 11. My school refuses to accelerate anyone; rather, they expand laterally, giving students a wider base of knowledge that isn't completely H.S.C. streamlined.
I think you've easily got a chance at a 6 in Bio. 88% is only 2 marks off it.kloudsurfer said:Well this is only after my first assesment period (im in my second at the moment, havent got any back yet)
English: 87% 7th-ish?
EE1: 88% 1st
EE2: 90% 1st
Maths: 92% 1st
Modern: 96% 1st
Chem: 100% 1st (the assessment was a simple one lol)
Bio: 88% 9th ish?
Im pretty happy with my marks, except bio and adv. enligsh which are usually my strongest subjects. Also ive gone down a bit in EE1, but I think i can work on that and advanced english. Im happy with maths, considering that is my weakest subject! I was getting 70s all last yr!
I am kind worried about Bio, I was counting on getting a band 6 in it, and this assesment was worth 30%. Is it still realistically possible?
Oh by the way, I go to a crappy public school so ignore my ranks lol
i think you've definately still got a good chance for band 6 in bio... and i guess it all depends on what that ranking was out of... (e.g. 9th out of 10, 9th out of 70, etc... would be very different =P) and what school you go to.kloudsurfer said:Well this is only after my first assesment period (im in my second at the moment, havent got any back yet)
