[Doctor Jolly]

Well, I got all of my exams back. I did overall relatively well in both Math courses. I did alright in English, could've been better, but oh wells. I could've improved on Japanese because that was an epic fail for me because I didn't get what I was expecting. As with Physics, pretty surprised at the results and very pleased with Economics.

Long story short: I'm

Mine were a major disappointment. The only exam which can even be considered a success in the broadest definitions of the term was Biology. I need to perform well in my 2 Unit English Assessment next week, because the performance so far is pretty disgraceful.

Were you not happy with the marks or just the ranking?

Aced Economics, Modern History and Legal Studies.
Adv English marks are ~ok, nothing to be pleased about.
Mathematics 3u marks were very poor.
Very worried about my incompetency in Mathematics

 

[jazzbaby]

So far I am coming first in all my subjects except Chemistry and Business Studies where I both narrowly missed out the top rank. Therefore, I am quite happy.

However, I won't let my guard down as I might experiece some backlash from undercover nerds who seem to search for the right moment to strike.

I wish I could do a bit better in Chemistry & Business Studies. One more mark in each subject would have earnt me the top ranks in both.

Good luck everyone & I hope to see you at the top spots.

The mark.

Mathematics: 100%
Mathematics Extension 1:98%
Japanese Beginners: 60%
English (Standard): 91%
Biology: 94%
Business Studies: 96%
Engineering Studies: 92%

Quite taken aback by the results. I wish I could have done better in Japanese Beginners but meh, I am going to drop this. I just did this for fun.

Well here are the percentages + rankings for my ones:
Maths 2U: 100% 1st
Maths 3U: 90% [scaled] 1st
English: 81% [scaled] =3rd
Japanese: Prolly around the 80% mark? 5th [maybe]?
Economics: 89% 2nd
Physics: 90% =3rd

I'm so disappointed at missing out on Economics 1st place by 1.5 marks

EDIT: I just realised that I came Top 5 for all half yearlys

What does it mean by 'scaled'?

 

[Doctor Jolly]

What does it mean by 'scaled'?

that a lot of people did bad in the exams, so the teachers scaled everyone up by some percent. In other words, that's not my raw mark. For English my raw mark was 61% then it got scaled to 81%. As for Extension Maths, my raw mark was 80% and I got scaled to 90%

That is the most ridiculous scaling system that I have ever heard. :rofl:

jealous, wish that happened for me in extension maths

LOL, well I think it's because everyone does so bad in it. My average for maths extension was 38% [unscaled], so the teacher scaled everyone immediatley.
