    Why!

    Oh okay.. Then, it should be 4-5 atleast.. I mean it is a very verbose and the ideas are not clearly expressed, but this is very harsh marking..

    Why!

    This should definitely deserve a B range mark 15-16 However, as we can only guage the standard of your essay by you introduction, it is not sufficient to provide a valid mark.. You must provide us with your essay. Some students have excellent introductions, but in the body they detract from...

    What does it take to get 95+ in a subject? I just received 83% for a task :s

    Remember ranks are important, not your marks! Sometimes schools may mark really hard such as my school... If you deserve 19-20/20,they will award you 16-17/20 - so frustrating!! So, was the weighting high? What was your rank? - The two most important things to consider

    Snitching benefits all?!?!?

    Ok, this also happened with me. For my Belonging speech in term 1, my own friend copied my speech as it was open on my laptop - left it for a split second.. She somehow managed to combined my ideas,analysis and words to make her speech sound better and sophisticated.. She topped the task...

    Hehe! Yeah, there are a myriad of other courses or pathways that you or I can undertake to attain a placement in our "dream" course at uni! I have got to admit though, I am freaking out a bit.....

    Is anyone burning out?

    Furthermore, I have "topic tests" approaching as well - they do not really count, but are a "strong indication of your strengths and weaknesses" as per my teacher's words...
  20. S

    Is anyone burning out?

    However, I'm actually quite scared to be honest! Since being scared will not really help, so I decided to be optimistic and motivated! That way, I will know that I tried my utter best if I do not achieve my targets... Atm, SCARED about the UMAT!! Have practised a lot!! Lets see what happens...
