Yeah quite ridiculous. If I were a teacher marking the papers and the majority failed, I'd let them failadidasboy said:they do it to make you guys feel better about your marks

. The reason why I'd let them fail is so they strive harder next time and work harder for their marks, not just pathetically scale them up. My opinion .

That ain't apply to me. I ain't going to try hard if I am pathetic at it.Razizi said:Yeah quite ridiculous. If I were a teacher marking the papers and the majority failed, I'd let them fail
Our main exam block starts next week (2 weeks long)...but we've had a couple of random exams before now.
I got Chemistry part 1 and English back - kind of bad for Chem, As/A-s, and super for English, A+. I didn't get my teacher to conference it before, so she wrote on the comments sheet about how infuriated she was...

I wish we got scaled for chemistry the marks sound so bad. The guy who came first got 58 out of 133 or 43%. So you can imagine the rest of the class.

wow that's terrible. You should get scaledkaz1 said:
I guess the test was too hard then because everyone who took the subject failed.

You should've took different subjects from your friends so you wouldn't have to had this friendly competition

Anything that caught you by surprise? Religion. That seriously was not an exam.bored of sc said:
Um... Ancient was the one I felt most confident about.
And Textiles I stuffed up a question where I was meant to draw a cube, I think. I drew an extremely realistic-looking cushion. It was 3D looking.

Well, I haven't actually done my Half-Yearly's yet. They all occur next week. Right now my only thoughts on it are that I cant believe how much I'm expected to know for them. I think I might have been better off not being told what was on the test so then I could do a broad and general study of everything, rather than an in-depth study and being confused because for some reason my teachers have voluntered to...how to put it...call some parts of the topics we've studied by different names (rather than the syllabus/one taught)?

managed to bag top place with ext. eng, chem, legal and modern the others were alrite but not exceptional... i already got my reports cause we do our h/y relatively early. came 6th for 2u, 7th for 3u and finally 6th for 2u eng. My report is not a clear reflection of my ability so i have to work so much harder

I'm dreading my H/Y results. I pretty much feel like I stuffed all of them (except Biology Theory and possibly the Physics Practical). I think its natural to feel a bit down after an exam, but there's nothing I can do about it now.
But my main concern is maths, there was a section where the average mark was 4.5/19 for the accelerated paper (the top mark was 14.5/19 in the whole grade, 13.5/19 in my class) where as I got 11/19. Though I don't know my actual rank, I didn't come 1st or 2nd in my class (and probably won't come in the top 5) and considering the amount of competition in the other top class in my school (*especially a certain person on this forum, he knows who he is*) leaves me increasingly worried about my overall rank. I guess I'll find out tommorrow.
On a lighter note, congrats to everyone here who managed to score incredibly high on their H/Y's.
