Yeah, gotta remember that as you go up into the high 90s, the gaps between what constitutes say, a 49/50, decrease.

E.g. A 38-41 could be 45, 41-43 could be 46, 44-45 might by 47, 47 might be 48, 48+ goes into the 49/50 range.

The Board works in mysterious ways ~~~.

The decreasing gaps are all dependent on the cohort right?

and yeah, your estimate regarding EE1 and Ext is probably logical; I lack logic in most regards.
I also hate the post-exam "What if I did this?" feeling.
Gah.
Let's go with our gut instinct; I felt great after it.

I reckon I might get around low-40's.

I hate post-exam period. You're thinking about your mark all the time. With me, it fluctuates. What if I did something wrong, etc? Haha.

I don't have any real ability in history extension, so I'll be happy with E4. Please E4. Pleasee.
exactly what im feeling like haha

we do similar subjects too. i agree, english ability really doesnt rub off greatly to ext history ability.
