Extremely concerned about assessment marks (2 Viewers)

[extreme.georgia]

How are you guys going so far?
I'm extremely concerned about my assessment marks so far.
I'm so scared sometimes I really want to kill myself!!!
Anyway, tell me if there is still hope.

Math3U :<80%
Math2U :<90%
English: <90%
Music: <80%
Business:<85%
Religion: around 60 or 70!!!

I'm so scared.
The scary fact is that I can't drop religion.
If i try really hard... Will I get there?!

I don't know!
Please, let's share our concerns!!!

Lol, hey how ya going?

You're probably heading in the right direction for a pretty excellent UAI.... and they're really good marks.

Give us an idea of what you think (as an estimate) you should be receiving as a mark for each class so we can see in comparison the difference in the marks above. Also include an estimate UAI which you think is achievable for you and a UAI which you'd love to get.

 

[BackCountrySnow]

get where?
what are you aiming for?
how is your school ranked?

those marks alone at a good school aren't bad..


ps. someone should write a general response and sticky it to help out all these people. There seems to have been a massive influx of these types of posts lately.

Ditto. Besides, threads like these should be in the UAI/HSC Marks Guidence and Counsel area so all year groups can generalise and not make threads in their HSC forum. It's all basically "help me, I want better marks - how can I get there?" stuff. So many threads for it!

If your coming first in all your subjects, you have nothing to worry about.

 

[the name i want]

so true

Well done, they are quite good marks. I assume with such marks you are ranking well, so keep it up and you should get a pretty good UAI.

Chillax. You're doing fine. And don't be suicidal.

Ranks?

 

[munchiecrunchie]

Your marks mean nothing without ranks. Ranks are definitely more important.

Still, you're doing well. Stop worrying.

 

[independantz]

when people say ranking is all that matters, does it mean that ranking in class or ranking in grade??
and if it is ranking in class, what if there is little people like less than 8, and let's say u became 2nd of 3rd or 4th is it still good??

Ranking in your grade.

Shes not stressing, shes just living up to her name!
But yeah you're doing fine, maybe harness your angst into making that assessment extra special!

Ranks?

qft

if your ranks are as good as your marks then you need to get over yourself

 

[forkyspoony18]

how is your school ranked?

I thought that there is no such thing as 'good ranking' schools anymore?

 

[BackCountrySnow]

yeah, your internal mark is set based how well your grade goes in the externals.

when people say ranking is all that matters, does it mean that ranking in class or ranking in grade??
and if it is ranking in class, what if there is little people like less than 8, and let's say u became 2nd of 3rd or 4th is it still good??

Grade.

oh and, are you just needing to be reassured that your a smart kid with good marks and need external praise.. ??

because thats what your parents are for.

Just consider yourself lucky your parents love you....... *sob*

 

[carrots please!]

ranks ranks ranks>?

breathe. get perspective. do not kill self.

those marks don't look too shabby at all

 

[carrots please!]

could you answer this questoin as well???

i thought it was ranking in class but somebody replied as ranking in grade is important. is it true?

do you mean grade as in year group?

ranks include everyone who does the subject...so if its a big group they're not necessarily all in your class. ranks reflect performance in relation to the rest of the class. so for maths and especially english, there's going to be a bigger cohort. with a small class i don't think ranking is all that significant if the marks are really close, you've really got to look at the difference between you and the person in front and behind of you to get an idea of if 2/4 is an ok rank..
