hsc exams marrk, where they the same to what you hoped 4 (1 Viewer)

[jawrsh]

hey i was wondering were the exam marks the same to wat u hoped for

because wen the hsc exams finished, alot of u were claiming how easy the exams were, especially the science courses.......did you end up with ur expected marks

 

[!meeee!]

it really differed from subject to subject
maths, english ext 1 and ecos were higher than expected
engx2, eng adv, mod and hist x were about what i expected

 

[Sarah]

mine were definately higher than what i thought they'd be. i was a bit shocked becausei had done better than what i'd expected

Most of mine were around where I thought they would be, 4U maths was a bit lower than I thought but I couldn't really tell walking out so I wasn't too bothered. English was far lower than what I expected though, I expected maybe 93+ and got 90 in the exam and 91 overall.

After the science exams I didn't really know whether I would do well or not, that's the problem with subjective marking. But I did reasonably, 94 in phys and chem and 93 overall.

My marks were all a bit higher than I was expecting. But I was a bit surprised by the order...like, I thought I would have gotton a higher mark for bio than legal studies, but I didn't.

All my marks (except one) were SOOOOOOO much higher than I expected. To get my marks I had to use the telephone thing and I was poised to right a 7 for the first number for my ancient mark and was stunned when I had to right 8---7 it just took my breath away.

What even more surprised me was general maths....the average I'd been getting all year was about 60% and I was poised to again write a 70 mark down and I started crying when the guy said 90.

All my marks were surprisingly high, due to scaling from how well my school did as a whole.

The one mark that was really bad was my ext 2 major work mark, I sooooo didn't expect that and nor did my teacher -- damn clueless markers

most of my marks were as expected ... expect for latin (my exam mark would have placed me very very close to the bottom of the candidature) ... and i expected band 6 for my exam mark for english ... but it english so ah ...

My studies of religion mark shocked me..................88....pretty ticked off........................I still don't know wat happened.

The exam marks I got back where about what I expected, except economics, which I was a bit disappointed in...I wanted 95+ for that, but ended up with 91...

I'd been getting high 60's and low 70's for Modern history all year and that's all i expected to recieve however i was really shocked/stoked to get 85 overall. The same was for Society and Cultuture where i expected mid 80's and got 94 overall!!! But Legal was below the 95+ i had expected because of my hsc exam. I got 89 overall.

 

[schwang_thang]

hmmm yeah sum were heaps better than expected

3unit maths i've been averaging 65-70% the whole yr n then my mark ended up being 94 so i was like

studies of religion, my average was 90 n my end mark ended up being 96 even tho i thought i screwed up the exam so i was pretty happi w/ that

n english, my average at school was ~85% n i thought i completely ruined my chances of a band 6 in the exam when i cuddnt even write a coherent response 2 julius caesar (powerplay) n i 4got a title 4 my feature article in paper 1. but i got a 92 so i was like...*yay*

chemistry was completely gay tho...out of all my hsc exams id say that was by far my best exam, it ended up being my lowest mark...a bloody 86.

jus as i thought, most of u thought u'd cane physics and chem and think u wasted 2 years of ur lives and they give the easiest exam ever

not for me ... but they were close for ten units (with a maximum difference of three for one subject and mostly difference of 1 or 2 marks) ...

 

[Almighty Jafar]

no- assessment = 91 in senior science and 83 for exam-what the?

 

[1 more]

like others have said, i was quite annoyed with the large discrepancy between some of my assessment marks and my exam marks:

eng x 1: assessment= 40/50 exam=48/50
hist x : assessment= 40/50 exam=48/50


everything else was pleasing though.
