Re: whoz hapi wif there trials?

Maths at my school gets done in a day,
3u maths gets done less than a day

Your school doesn't have 170 doing 3U Maths and 150 doing 4U Maths.

Lol, there were 6 in my 4 unit class.

^ Lol nice.

@ Aerath: The amount of people doing 4U is larger than my grade by 50-60 people. That's awesome.

The competition there must be extreme.

I prefer my school though. We have 25 doing 4u, and I'm sure the stress factor and the environment would be much more relaxed. I've heard students in your school threaten teachers even for a single extra mark. LOL

Agreed about EE1. I finished my exam and story about 30 mins before the end of the text so i crossed out my essay conclusion (crime writing module) and just started writing everything i remember abour Rear Window and the Real Inspector Hound haha. My teacher might be a little confused :|

Yeah, you can say that again.

Threaten? Nah.....noone has gone that far. Although for Chem last year, someone wrote letters to UNSW and USyd Schools of Chemistry to prove they were right in a Trial. And in Maths this year, some guy tried to cheat by using 'erasable ink'. Ended up losing all his marks in that section.

Re: whoz hapi wif there trials?

I'm confident with all my trials, i've already recieved the results back for modern which were solid. Wrote plenty for all my essays/creatives and there wasen't any real curveball questions so I should be fine.

is this nick gibbs?

Most of my year has finished trials-bar me and the rest of History Extension (and Maths Extension). So everyone's going YAY TRIALS ARE OVER and I'm going I HATE YOU ALL.

How is that cheating?
I used that in my trials.

I like how I can erase words in essays that I've miswritten or something, and there seems to be no rules against it, or anyway to check. LOL.

What is wrong with erasable ink? Is that because when the exams are given back, people are able to rub out and change their answers to make out that the teachers have made a simple error in the marking?

 

[astroe]

WHOA. That thought never occurred to me.

When I used it, the supervisors saw and did nothing about it.
It's expensive though, like 4 dollars a pen? I've used up one of them already.

Oh, my bad, poor explanation. He got the exam back, asked all the people who did well what the answers were, and then changed his answers/working. Unfortunately for him, Maths staff had scanned his paper, so they found out.

He did this in the lesson you got them back though? When we are given exams back, the only changes that can be made only happen in class on the day they are handed back and teachers can be asked to revise them on that day in their own time.

That's it.

Re: whoz hapi wif there trials?

I forgot that I needed to complete my third topic for music. Now I've lost so much time to do these Viva voces. I'll be up till the early hours of the morning tonight; it's going to kill me.
I don't really get tomorrow, because my time is 9:25 am. I have a feeling that I'm slightly screwed.

Nah, he did it like a week later. Teachers scan papers randomly - he just happened to be unlucky enough to have his paper scanned that round.
