Oh, I'd be surprised if you managed a B2. :)

I don't understand why you write like this. It's revolting.

I often wonder if it takes more effort for them to write lyk dis all d tym than it does just to spell correctly and use proper grammar & punctuation. If it does, they're stupid. If it doesn't ... it's obviously morphed into a first language.

I have a feeling there's something tricky behind them making all this so easy, but then again it is BoS, and they're either shit you or don't, so .... hmm.

Lol @ that.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Bleargh. Goodbye Band 6. *drops it down the well* At least the false sense of security from the AoS paper was carried on through, so there wasn't any particular panic, at least amongst my Advanced cohort.

I've been hoping for a band 5 all year so hopefully I manage that.

The questions were fairly easy so it's mainly just if my essays and points were any good in the first place, which I'm not sure of.

Oh well it's all done now!

i agree. im a little suspicious in BoS' intentions. The questions usually gets harder year by year. Maybe to compensate the difficult compensation text 3(?). But i did get annoyed wen they restricted us. e.g in transformations they asked for TWO specific elements.

But all in all, its done!!

You do realise, that even if aligned marks are lower, they will just scale the raw marks so that they will end up contributing a higher portion to your UAI, if the quality of the cohort remains close to the same as last year.

Point being, the scaling algorithim fixes everything in the end.

Not sure if that icky AOS paper will help. I'll be happy to just get 30/45. but i would like a 55/60 for modules. my essays were pimping!
LOL - I do know your name, but that's only because people have called you that in some of their posts. :eek:

Yup, but could be either Melbourne or Sydney. I'd like to go to Melbourne but depends on a lot of things (eg. UAI :-s)

I read in the daily telegraph paper that the english papers would be marked easier this year because only a few ppl got band 6's last year?
