[c00kiezncreme]

Heyy guys!
how did u guys go with ur trial for snr science? I did crappier then wat i had expected.. =(
i mean the highest in our class was like in the early 80s..i mean not good for this subject

i really dont want this subject to scale me down..

dont worry too much, senior science was easily the easiest subject i did for the HSC, 1 bit of advice i can give is, make sure u work on ur answering skills, as in, work out the different type of answers for different types of questions (analyse, describe, expalin, discuss, etc..)
eg) discuss - give both points for and against the topic.

furthermore, dont worry abt trials too much, they are meant to be hard.. i found my trails harder than the actual HSC exam..
=D
gluck

i got in the 80s...yay...coz i thought i failed but most pplz in my class got in the 50s and 60s..

 

[Tenchi]

good work! =D

Hey Tenchi, do u remember wat u got for ur trials..and wat did u end up gettin for ur HSC?

soo u think I shouldnt worry 2 much about the trials? I jus need some assurance!

 

[Tenchi]

hahahah hrmm i cant remember wat i got for my Trials, but i got 86 for my HSC, im pretty sure i got somewhere in the 80's or low 90's for my trials.

but yea, the trials are meant to make u feel "dumb" so that it'll hopefully make u feel more motivated into studying harder for the HSC.. my opinion anywayz
lolz

 

[Tenchi]

in my yr 12 yearly report it says i got 99% overall..
hahahahah
but in my HSC results i only got 86% for assessment mark
i think my teacher fudged it up hard.. coz i do remember getting in the high 90's for all my skool exams and assessments

 

[c00kiezncreme]

ahh yeah?
then u did real well =) good stuff..

I'm like above average but not near the top!

 

[Tenchi]

like with any subject, the best way to prepare for any exam is to go thru a whole shit load of past papers..
u'll see that there is a big difference between text book questions and HSC exam questions.. but since senior science is a relatively new subject, u wont find many past papers.. but yea..
practice ur answering skills, and graphing skills may come in handy.

67% initially... ranked 16th?

then i got 16 marks extra...

83% now... ranked 2nd

but only in trial exam
the rest was above average

 

[xGSiR]

Ranked 6/12 in the class.

neither but to make all u other ppl feel smart, i'll tell u. i got 57 not telling the rank tho !! haha most ppl in my class got in the 50's to 70's..

 

[Tenchi]

practice answering the different types of questions!!
different questions will require different types of answers!
with that..
gluck with ur future exams

 

[Canoodle]

89 average was 60

 

[Sammmmmuel]

Does senior science get scaled at all? like is it good compared to chem/physics? or much the same?

 

[Delta32]

scaled quite a bit down.. near earth and enviro.

as for my trial results. 90%, quite upset with that as you really need about 94-6% to get into Band 6 for this subject.

Ranked 1st. (Sydney Distance Education HS).

 

[c00kiezncreme]

so its not like 80s mean band 5?
90s mean band 6?


oOh this is bad then :S i dont wanna get scaled down 2 much!!

 

[Delta32]

bands go percentage I thought?

ie.. top 10% will be band 6, but often the marks to be in the top ten percent were more than 90...

 

[Tenchi]

yea, i got 86% for hsc, which equalled to band 5
