Can you elaborate on that? Never really understood the ranking system. As far as i can understand, is that if you're ranking 1st or 2nd in your class and the rest are doing shit by regional standards then you are scaled down? What if everyone does shit in the same class?

If you're first it doesn't matter what everyone else in your class gets.

I'm thinking I got low 90's. At the time I posted that I was thinking more like 80 though before I realised I didn't do as bad as I thought.
hmmm, looks like second might catch you if your teachers dog eats your paper.....and eats you too.

My maths teacher has taken 3 months for 8 kids. What is it with maths teachers? What makes it worse is the General kids usually get theirs back a day after.

ok LOL i am thankful for my school's marking now! but yeah, considering that they managed to mark english AOS AND modules in 2 weeks, i would expect geo to be faster. hopefully i'll get it back tomorrow. *shudders*

my school is actually reasonably quick with maths which i am very grateful for, considering 130 odd people do MX1.
Same mx1 and 2u is really quick at mine, English is usually bad but they were heaps good for trials.

You call urself wrecked with you get 90%? I would kill to get a 90, thats pre much a 99 when scaled.
I would be happy with a 70% coz thats pre much an E4.

It's all relative, some people are over the moon at getting 70's for a subject, yet others are pissed if they don't get 95 +
