90% in Exams

******* hell, over 80% in essays no way, you'd have to know exactly what they want, like a detailed plan off what the essay needs to have. I think its impossible to get 90+ on an essay, in uni.

Yesterday I would've disagreed with you, but today I got my scores back for my degree and it seems that business essay based exam where I felt on form, in the zone, etc etc, I only got 73% on.

I would love to read some 90%+ marked essay answers just to see why they're so good.

I always write my essays and write ups in the style of a journal artical, which works well for sciences (plus I'm not very good at writing hardcore essays!). I've yet to get lower than 90%.

My course isn't postgrad, it's undergrad - just that I learnt the art of referencing while I did my postgrad

heh, arkbar, seriously, let it go

Hmm not sure. I guess I was 'lucky' in that I found a style that works for me and seems to go down well with tutors.

If I had to say anything I owuld make sure that you've done your background reading, and make sure your essays are well referenced. The main 'difference' I have noticed between my essays and those of people who get lower marks is the number of reference used. I typically have between 30 and 50 (sometimes more) for a 1500 word write up, which coming from a postgrad background is normal. However, many of my contemporaries generally seem to have far fewer - anything from about 5 to 15...

Wow, you're amazing!

I wish I could be liek [sic] you.

Platocrates, you've made some comedy posts in the past, but I don't agree with the mocking of someone just because of a condition. It's below the belt.

Does mocking dyslexics make you feel big?
