How many times have you been wroughted? (1 Viewer)

[SoCal]

Just wondering how many times you have missed out on a higher grade by one or two marks (i.e. 48-49, 63-64, 73-74, 83-84). It has happened to me three times now (twice I have been two off and once one mark off) and I am starting to get a bit sick of it.

Your only grievance about being ripped off might be in cases where they apply percentages to the grades (such as no more then 30% can get D's), but often measure the ranks in terms of outcomes. If this isn't the case, you can't really complain.

They're not really wroughting you. If you get one mark off a HD, for example, then your work was just not HD material. It was a really good D, but something was lacking that prevented it from being an HD. It's more than just a one mark difference.

Still sucks, though. Take it as a learning experience and do better in your next assessment, to make that 1% not drag your average down.

It's more than just a one mark difference.

haha, not if the final for the subject was all multiple choice (I was on 86% before the final too) I ended up with 84 for FINS1612 (the 'introductory' finance subject at UNSW). Still, it's my own fault.

Usually get shitehouse marks, but one of the only times I got a decent mark I got 94.4666666....naturally rounded down.

What made it worse was I felt I got screwed over for the remaining marks...i.e. contentious decisions

OMG or like they are constrained to a percentage system which means that the difference between 84 and 85, might be one mark in 220 or so, or they don't scale and it was a one mark difference.
