Reports have arrived!!!!
Well, technically, they arrived about 2 days ago. I have seen my report, and considering that I have been forced to learn a new subject as well as other new parts of subjects that I had previously taken, I am actually quite impressed. These marks are not my exam results, but my overall year (or more specifically, ten week!) results which have been averaged out and everyfink.
My results are as follows:
My results are as follows:
English 2A2B- 67%, B
Chemistry- 62%, C
Foundations of Maths- 78%, A
History- 66%, B
Human Biology- 66%, B
Political and Legal Studies- 72%, B
And thus are my results!
To all in SA and in Malaysia, I must add that, while these results look wrong (and certainly, I thought they were too, after my history teacher gave me my marks and told me that it was a B!) the mark boundaries in Australia are not quite like those everywhere else in the world.
In Australia, the mark boundaries are as follows:
A- >75%
B- 60%-75%
C- 45%-60%
D- 30%-45%
E- 15%-30%
F- <15%>
Chemistry- 62%, C
Foundations of Maths- 78%, A
History- 66%, B
Human Biology- 66%, B
Political and Legal Studies- 72%, B
And thus are my results!

So yeah, that would be a normal grade boundary. For exams, however, they take the whole year's marks, and then they decide that the top 15% of marks should be this grade, the next 15% should be this grade, etc etc. They make the things so easy for us sometimes, it's scary! I bet these Australians don't even know how lucky they have it! In Australia, we're not allowed to take certain subjects unless we get a C or over. And I honestly believed that I wouldn't be able to take Chemistry next year, because I'd always gotten CLOSE to a C by Malaysian, British and South African standards, but never actually gotten to that mark. But when I figured out what Australia considered to be a C, I almost hugged my teacher. I could take Chemistry! I wasn't that dumb! XD
Not to mention, most of my class pretty much either failed Chemistry miserably, or barely passed. Unless you count a few of the lucky students who managed to get 70%s and over, that is, and trust me, there weren't that many. I mean, JB had just managed to claim his C on the paper, and Yen, I think, just managed to get her B. So all in all, I'm quite impressed with this year, especially Chemistry.
I just hope I get better marks next year, cuz I highly doubt that I can apply for university next year with a C in my report, no matter what my TER score looks like after taking Chemistry away.
I believe that many will be confused as to what a TER is, and no matter, I will explain as the time comes, as I have an idea of what a TER is, but am unable to explain clearly, exactly WHAT it is at this point in time.
So adieu, dear readers, until the next report of Australian Watch, with me, Michelle Wong, good night.
Or rather, good afternoon since that's the time it is at the present time of typing, but it could also be good morning if you're crazy, awake and bored enough to be reading it then!
