Hey, was just wondering how people go in their assessments and exams?
I got 57% for my half yearlies and I don't know whether to drop or continue. I can't compare myself to my year coz there's only one other person doing 4 unit.
So yeah, tell me how you guys go :)

It'd be best if you posted up the test paper so we can tell how hard it is - I mean, for some papers 57% would be an OK mark, but for some it would be quite bad.

Yeah, I'm beating the other person. Well, in our first assessment there was a pretty big difference but we're about on the same level in this half yearly paper.
I'll see if I can post up the paper :)

i got 59% in my half yearly . i only have another person in my class too, she got 50% and like you i dont know whether that is good or not. i thought the test was pretty average, i had no real troubles with it. 3 unit on the other hand was very bad i got 59% again (at least im consistent) and the other person got 66% .... i have to spend more time on maths i think

i was in situation like yours, i got 55% in my half yearly and it wasn't that great well i thought it was until i realised that the school average is 61%. anyways my teacher told me that according to the school i get pushed up by 30% so i basically get 85%, but if i had about 65% then i get 95% which is just excellent. so i think you might want to ask your teachers about the scaling because it varies according to schools.

cant exactly say how much it is "pushed up"

also remember the difficulty of tests varies in diff schools

yes ur raw wud definately be lower than ur end scaled ones... but u cant say "gettin 50 in this will give me 80 in the end" coz it really depends on how u and how ur school performs in hsc as well...

I just got my half yearlies back today. 55% (which was 3rd out of 7) and theres no way im dropping ext 2 maths. It may seem bad but its actually really good considering I know the calibre of the other students in my grade. Pretty much everyone received an E4 last year in 3unit maths so yeah... this 4unit test mustve been hard if not many people passed.
