Which school do you go to?

 

[Hysterik]

I am so unbelievably pleased with my results. I have never done this well in my entire life. Good time to start though, lol.

Advanced English:
Mark - 15/15
Rank - 1/160 SHAZAM!!

English Extension 2 : 9/10

French: 60/61

Maths: 98% Ranked 17/63

Chemistry: 26/30 Average: ~ 22

Most are worth about 7-8% so will be scaled to full marks. OMG.

 

[yeeshu]

girraween...u?

Most are worth about 7-8% so will be scaled to full marks. OMG.

What do you mean? My Eng. Adv. assessment was worth 25% of internals and I got 61/63. Does that mean it'll be scaled to 100%?

 

[Zephyrio]

Cal, 61/63 is 24/25.

So your score, when weighted, is 96%. Damn good.

 

[Jachie]

Forgive me because I am not a maths wizard, but 61/63 would be 97% would it not? So the weighting has essentially pulled the mark down, even if it is only by one percent.

 

[Zephyrio]

Yeah, it has. Really, it should be 24.2/25, but they only work on whole numbers or halves. At least, at my school anyway. Don't worry though, the weightings are calculated at the end anyway, so if you get a mark like say 24.3/25 in another, ended up with 48.5/50 (hypothetically), this will be upped to 49.

This might be diff. at other schools.

 

[princesscal]

Wait, so because my school is retarded with the numbers it uses for marking, I lose a %?

lame.

 

[Melissy]

I have received over 80% in everything so far...so if i keep this up, can anyone tell me what UAI i can expect....

 

[Zephyrio]

Well it works both ways.

For my 3U assessment, I got 39/46. It was weighted 15%. So converting it, I got 12.7/15. This is rounded up to 13/15. Conversely, my friend who got 41/46, got 13.3/15. So this is rounded down to 13.

Theoretically, anyway. It might not actually happen to this, but when people talk about weightings and whatev, it would be a bit retarded to say, "oh, I got 12.423423423423432423/15 weighted."

I'm sure they don't weight your assessments until they need to send your ranks to the BOS, so there's nothing to fret about.

Depends on your school, subjects, actual marks and ranks.

nah i think mines the same, but most schools operate like this.
ie. i got 46/50 for business= 92% it was worth 10%

so it goes on record as 9.2/10
and each decimal is added together for the final mark.
so getting an extra .3 and .4 will get you an extra mark at the end of the day.

 

[patty4848]

I now have all my assessments back...

Advanced Maths
67% - Weren't given a rank, but it would be in the bottom half.

Advanced English

[sle3pe3bumz]

argh i fucked up real bad this time.

69% in 2u maths compared to 91% in 3u. And both tests were relatively on the same level but wth !? Ranked from like 2nd to like 10th (and this is just compared to the 3u class. I hope i beat all 2u though =/). The people who were failing are beating me ! =[

I will never live this down !

 

[Zephyrio]

What do you think happened though? As long as you can improve your rank later, you'll be fine. ^_^
