I don't think anything other than math scaled.

Absoulety impressive results! Seeing your predicted results post on here, I just knew you were undermining yourself, and your abilities. Well done!

Being 1-2 marks away from a HD should be illegal. Had sad feels for anatomy.

Everyone I know got rekt by 2nd year maths.

what is the department doing lol

Don't be a perfectionist

 

[antheung]

mhmm
One was in a mental health rehabilitation and recovery centre, and the other was at a primary school

at least i didn't fail though

Hope you had fun

I did much worse than I expected...in every...fucking...subject.

Seems to be the trend with all my friend's marks too.

Pretty sure 2nd year onwards they are cracking down on high marks.

There's 0 scaling now...so it's kind of expected. I know CHEM3913 is the second worse performing chemistry unit (after 2402/2912/2916).

Which is why I'm already very satisfied with my marks now (except for one unit of study)

But they are marking harsh too lol.

Same.

Also been asking around, I might have a shot at topping graph theory with my 91.

Congratulations! I was in the normal stream and I'm pretty happy with my mark

Based on how I've seen them mark, it's very similar to HSC.

I don't think any of the Chemistry units are scaled anymore.

 

[Aysce]

PHSI3005 - 82
PHSI3006 - 79
PSYC2011 - 86 (YES!!!!!)
REHB3064 - 74 (omfg fk you)

So relieved!

The only one that might be is 2402/2912/2916 which had some slight movement last year - I got 88->89 and my friends got around 2-3% increase. It's not much though.

I'm still not so sure about maths subjects though. It's impossible that the mark that I got for a second year maths unit of study is my raw mark, since I lost some marks on the mid-semester quizzes and there were some parts of the questions on the exam that I didn't have time to attempt.

Is this graph theory?

None of my friends reckon it scaled (they got lower than expected too).

But they did the advanced version, maybe regular scaled?

 

[someth1ng]

Does this mean we have reason to say C at USYD=HD at UNSW?

I've heard some one from UNSW (who has like a 95 WAM) say that USYD WAM + 7 = UNSW WAM

Good enough for me.

Yes I'm talking about MATH2069. I think it's possible that MATH2069 scaled -- I looked at the statistics for the in-semester assessments and there was a big difference in the marks for quiz 1 between both streams.

Well, perhaps I should just believe that I performed better than I expected on the final exam.

Depends on courses.

Each school in engineering does their own stuff and some do scale courses while others don't.

That goes for the whole uni really.
