the test was pretty challenging i must admit....or mayb thats jus me...
anyway, last yr we had about 6 high distictions and the rest distinctions/credits...so it'll b hard for our grade to top that

well my teacher said no 1 in our grade got prizes in eco, but we did in business. Kind of an anticlimax considering we got a few last yr....
:(

But i didnt fink i'd get a prixe for dat comp. I'll be happy if i got distinction. Didn't feel really comfortable after the exam.

we got our certificates today for some reason - i got a credit, down from last year's high distinction lol. That test was strange, but then again, every time our class opens an exam you can see the "i have never heard of this word" expression thanks to our shithouse teacher.

pfft yeah me too..
I got a credit, 0.5 marks off a distinction
but our results were crap..I fully expected half our class to get High distinctions..but oh well

I guess unlike some schools, we do the test properly, no cheating etc, as my teacher told us some schools "help" the students in these comp's to make them get awards etc..
