Re: CSSA Chemistry 2011

what a dickhead. In English 1 mark = 1% in paper 2 and 1 mark = 8/9% in paper 1.
:O really.. English paper 1 theres 15/15/15 = 45 marks - so each mark is worth 2% my bad.. was thinking about normal assessments which are out of 15.

English paper 2 theres 20/20/20 = 60 marks - so each mark is worth like 1.5%

no MC sheet? hahah dodge
Yeah me and a friend had to use the senior science ones and he took my friends amendment so hopefully he'll get an estimate of 4/4 because he was using this test to get 1st again after he fucked up the practical test. And by fucked up I mean he beat me by a few marks. Lol.

No... The whole assessment is the two papers put together.
With paper 1 being 40%
now work it out.

My Chem class is really solid. Top 3 will definitely get band 6 and the next two have potential. Then the next two will get high band 6.
Next one will get around 85 and the bottom 2 will get 82-84.
Maths class is good too. Top 5 are definite E4s and the rest are capable of E4.
Everyone in MX2 will get an E4.
Aim was 97.5+ now it's 95+.
I'm certain I can get 95+ and certain I won't get 97.5+. D:

Last year we were 138. This year we may do worse or better because there are a bunch of deadshits. E.g. bottom two in bio will get band 3 at the highest. But top 6 will get band 6 so I don't know.
All of my classes are better than last year's except maths because our teacher we had since year 7 had to leave at the beginning of this year but we're still doing really well and it doesn't seem to have effected anyone heaps just me sort of. :/

What were the 5 marker questions this year?
My school didn't use CSSA for chem, they decided to make their own paper?

Re: CSSA Chemistry 2011

There are 16-18 in advanced at my school and my school wonders why they aren't higher. The new curriculum chick we have caught on this year and makes the advanced teacher teach standard now because he cut 28-30 people from the classes.
wow.. only 16 ppl doing advanced compared to 102 ppl doing standard, thats like unheard of to me =/

Aren't you worried about how standard aligns? E.g. only like 60 or so band 6's across the whole state last year.. well thats just something I've heard, not sure if its true - but even then compared to thousands of band 6's in adv.
