Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ 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.

Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ Great job Miss Sunshine! And everyone here is getting really great results :)

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.

Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ 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. I don't have high expectations, but I seem to achieve highly without putting much...

Re: 2008SC SC Results ~ English - 92 Maths - 95 Science - 91 Geography - 95 History - 96 Computing - 92 I'm really happy with these and surprised! I thought for sure that history was my worst exam seeing as I knew nothing on aboriginals or prime ministers or anything. Ironic how that works out!

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...

lol I think the best way to get marks in English is to talk about shit you have no idea on and make it sound smart :P

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...
