Nah, supposedly Geology is the hardest.
AH Chem is meant to be the hardest AH.

You think it was a pretty hard paper in comparison with recent years then?
I'd guess (and that's pretty much all it is) 47% for a C, 61% for a B, and 76% for an A.

Yeah, it definitely wasn't mate.
Anyway you know if you look at it from the point of view of an A being 76%, that means you can lose like 24 marks. That does seem quite alot doesnt it.

Erm.. well they all failed nearly each and every NAB. And the bit about the exam being easy, I suppose no one saw the sarcasm.

DON'T quote me on this, but I think if you're close to the boundary or something, then they upgrade it. Not 100% certain though.

lol! I thought anyone in their right mind would stay for longer than 40 minutes, but when Tupac said "It wasn't that easy
" and you didn't contradict him I thought they must be geniuses!

I've been estimated at a C for phy. But I'm pretty sure in the actual exam I'm on an A hopefully. I just hope being estimated at a certain grade doesn't sorta discriminate in your marking... i.e. markers aren't really expecting that much out of you so they don't look to give marks .Unless the markers dont know your estimtes?

it's just the sqa who know ur marks and then when the tmarker has finished marking them he/she sends it away and the sqa does all the changing.
