Estimate your raw mark. (2 Viewers)

[matt_f64]

I just really doubt that a marker looks at a paper and says "ahh, stats and trends - 18/20!". Couldnt any idiot who studied do that? I dont know maybe I'm wrong...

Oh and as to the purpose of this thread - 20/20 for mc, 30-35/40 for SA and ~30/40 for essays I reckon so about 80-85 all up

no they dont go "ahh stats 19/20"... but if they read ur essay and see there are no stats they go "ahhh no stats 14/20"

for example if u have 2 identical essays, one has stats one has no stats... the one with stats will get an extra mark or 2... its only fair and its only 100% logical.. its the same as english essays, if u hav qutoes u get better marks than someone with no quotes, assuming otherwise u hav similar essays.

Yer - I donno how you can evaluate anything properly without some sort of quantitative measurement...

 

[matt_f64]

r u saying u need to use stats, or that u dont need to?

 

[Acid]

Obviously that you DO need stats...

One of the dot points they had on top of the question said

You will be assessed on...

"Your use of economic data"

 

[grimreaper]

If any idiot could have done it why couldnt you since it was a course requirement?

I got 20/20 in the multiple choice, and i'm thinking ill probably wind up with 85+. I was aiming for 90 raw though, so we'll see.

wtf, since when did I say I didnt use stats?

I actually had a fair few - all I said is that I dont think they = high marks

 

[skypryn]

no offense Shuter.. i dunno why but i find u just *slightly* annoying.. i cant quite put my finger on why..

hrmm

haha me 2. is it that ugly av? maybe it's just cos everything he says is "me went well", when it's clear that he's not a player...

raw maybe 70+

 

[t.]

Hmmm...my aim was 100. I already apologised to the teacher, told him to expect 98 instead...just in case. Hhmmmm..perhaps you'll find out my name when I top the state? lol I suppose a james ruse-ian may do it again...but at least they'll have some tough competition for once, damn it! Eco is great...a person that loves it better top it...and not just a random freak who can study for more than 10 hours a day.

 

[coroneos]

apparently 80 scales to 90

apparently 80 scales to 90

not scale, aligned to band 6 rather

 

[coroneos]

yeap lol~~~

 

[sub]

i estimate about 85-93 for me...MC's were a shocker...but the rest was fair game

 

[coroneos]

i guess it comes down to how hardly they mark the essays + SA.

 

[hiphophorray123]

I'm thinking that a lot of you are overestimating your essay marks - it might have been ok with teachers that know you and give good marks out for school assessments to keep you happy, but I can tell you the hsc markers give out VERY few marks like that. And before you start getting angry with me, just realise that its the cold hard truth =\

perhaps the only agreeable comment made in this thread

lol.. i dunno, he just seems kinda up himself, he assumes he knows everything abt eco (which he doesnt), and is always trying to correct ppl while the rest of us are just comparing what we wrote in diff sections..
it's like he should be marking the hsc, not doing it...
ok my rant is over

How about you've described Rorix not me. Most of the time I've just provided what I wrote as an atlernative to what some others wrote. Only a few times have I tried to correct people, and not in a belittling way.

In summary, screw you I'm going to kick your ass in this anyway.

19/20 M/c

Think I was gold K-Oed by Short Answer, but I reckon I picked up on the essays.

I'd say probably low-mid 80's

as neo touched on earlier, one of the criteria you're being assessed upon is your use of ecnomic data, so without that data you haven't fulfilled the requirements of a top band essay

shuter: no need to boast, at least until the marks come out...

all rite lil buddy, calm down.. i just thought it seemed that way by ur attitude..
and yes, i think u shud wait until marks are released before stating anything.. i have a feeling i might get anywhere from 0-100, so yes, u may well beat me. but i really dont care in the end.
the point is.. um ..ur slightly annoying..thats all.

 

[:: dreami ::]

hahahha... its DEF his avatar

rorix is correct, stats are everything... i hardly had any stats in a perfect essay and only got 15/20... so yeh, sucks to be you shuter
