I was expecting low 80s in History and mid 80s in Science, got 96 in His and 91 in Sci. I was expecting the get higher in English though. It's hard to predict.
I got 2 B's in History and Maths, and the rest A's.
I did well in my electives, first in Japanese and second in commerce even though for most of this year I did not try at all especially in commerce.

I'm also a bit surprised at some parents reactions. Maybe it's a cultural thing for asian parents? I'm aussie and my parents didn't care what I got, I band 3 would have been good to them.

Maths - Band 6
English - Band 5/6
Science - Band 4/5
History - Band 4
Geography - Band 6
Kind of weird how the one I think i've done the worst in is one of the subjects i'll be doing the most next year (HL history)
Mine was bad - I started talking about how I think there should be a 'text tax' to solve the problem of teenage communication.
Where we supposed to make reference to the article?
I don't think the Moratorium movement answer was the correct one, because that wasn't conclusively the Moratorium movement, it was the Save Our Sons protestors largely being shown, but just Save Our Sons alone is not the Moratorium Movement. The most correct answer would have been that it shows...
I knew what refraction looked like so that question was pretty simple. And i got the energy energy one lol yay.
Did anyone else get like a LOT of D's in the third column? I think it was for science, but I was paranoid
We got told by our teachers that they give you limited lines because that's how long they want the answer to be. They give you enough lines to fulfill the requirements of the questions, and no more. I don't think it matters if you just went a little off the lines, but if you did whole extra...
I think I said that it gave human movement qualities to the water, allowing the reader to visualise and connect with it and it built up an image of the nature of the streams movements.
I did coastal management, and I talked about two different Sydney beaches, one with good coastal management and one with bad, and looked at their management in relation to the sand dunes, erosion prevention and human development limitations I think.
