Is anyone else obsessively putting in the scores they think they got in the estimates calculator and get percentage..

If it remains at 65%-70% i am either a very high B or very low A

so does anyone know how to calculate it so you can factor in the 20% from folio?

What would you think about the chances of me getting an A if I told you that I completely accidentally missed out the very last 5 mark close reading question because I was too stupid to turn over the page?

Ouch. You fool It depends, how did you cope with the rest of the paper?

Ohhh I don't know. I think my essays were good and folio was good but I really didn't enjoy the close reading. I just felt like I was doing it wrong the whole time I was doing it.

I can't believe it has actually happened to me though. It is a nightmare situation. I can't believe I missed out a whole question in the real exam.

but i repeat, does anyone have the paper? i'd love to go over it tonight.

thanks!

Don't panic, it's not a total disaster. It happens to the best of us at times. Think about your essays - what do you think you got for that? And what is your folio sitting at do you reckon?

thanks!

In my last prelim I got two 19's for my essays. It felt as if my essays were good so I would be thinking that they get around the same.

I was never actually told what mark my folio essays would achieve but I was told they were good. Maybe a 19 for both of them again.

This is an absolutely horrible situation though. I really wanted 5 A's and I was working so hard to get them. Now that seems like a far fetched situation.

Thanks for being so kind btw. It is nice to have someone to talk to about this. I am too scared to tell anyone else.

Hey guys, first post and all.

The close reading for me seemed incredibly tedious, i left out the last question totally as i was running out of time and thought ah screw it and ended up just calling it a day.

The rest of the paper was relatively okay, i can particularly remember a few questions, any of you fancie confirming you were along the same lines?

The athletes took the drugs in order to have a strong chance of competing, and winning the event?

They were proud of the stadium because : it was beautiful, proud as it linked with there greek heritage as greece always heald fierce compitions/events, and the such competing events were part of there culture.

tone of disilusion : didn't have a clue, remember quoting some words and saying 'this shows the athletes have lost touch with what the games are about' bla bla but yeah.

the one question i didn't really know (along with the 4 markers which were shocking) was about how sportmen had to like the olympics? i remember writing if they love sport they feel obliged to love the olympics, and sport gives you qualities which are used in ever day life or some crap.

The essays were a shock, i had learned the Cone Gatherers and The Sentry inside out and neither had good questions. i ended up writing about futility, and managed to fit the theme of Good vs evil i which i knew extensively in, ended up being a solid essay with some pretty in depth analysis for a timed exam, im thinking 17/19.

the second one was shocking, ended up doing 2/3s of an essay though it was okay. - does anyone know how badly this affects the result? would love if it would scrape a 13.

always thought the pass mark for a B was 60-65%, so happy to hear you say its only 54% might have a chance now!
