Because I was rank 1, my internal assessment mark was 49. My major work mark was depressingly 37, so the average of the two was 43.

braindrainedash 43 is really not bad at all! nothing really wrong with that!
i know though that it is really discouraging when what you hopedfor is a long way from what you get. The problem is that in 4unit english the marking can be so subjective that its hard to predict at all - that's what i felt - it seemed like everything depended on what they were looking for this year.

yeah braindrainedash, if you're brave enough to let yr creative work bear the scrutiny of a group of people who attempt to give something that close to you a cold hard numerical value, well done. i don't think you should feel too bad at all.

superboobies makes a good point about numerical values.

43 is not a bad mark, because I know others from my own school who have had marks in the 20s! :(

Don't feel bad about it, I know you tried your best at it and had a really good assessment mark, but your other subjects more than made up for it, in my opinion.

no, but i had a disclaimer on the front to absolve myself:

this story and the real world is entirely their own fault."
