Rate your VCE exams out of 10!

Use this thread to rate how you think each of your exams went as you get them through them. :) Might be interesting to look back on after exams!

I'll start with what I thought immediately after each exam (I've since graduated, so these aren't from this year):

> Business Management: 7/10
> English Language: 6/10
> Further Maths #1: 10/10
> Further Maths #2: 9/10
> HHD: 10/10
> Psychology #1 (had a mid-year exam back in the day): 7/10
> Psychology #2: 8/10
> Visual Communication Design: 2/10

Average: 7.4/10

Those who have already graduated, feel free to join in!

Again this is not from this year :)

Rating from what I remember my initial thoughts after pens down, leaving the exam room and before checking answers and talking to others.

> Biology: 7/10
> English: 8/10
> Methods Exam 1: 7/10
> Methods Exam 2: 7/10
> Specialist Exam 1: 7/10
> Specialist Exam 2: 7/10
> Chemistry: 9/10

Average 7.4/10

For anyone wondering this had basically no correlation to my study scores.

Interesting! Based on my first post, I rated my exams as:

1. HHD
2. Further Maths
3. Psychology
4. Business Management
5. English Language
6. VCD

And my final study scores were:

1. HHD
=2. Psychology
=2. Business Management
4. Further Maths
=5. English Language
=5. VCD

But the gap between those study scores was quite small; I didn't do as poorly in the exams I thought I flunked as initially expected. I think it's easy to focus on the questions you think you messed up post-exam rather than all the ones you think you did well on.

Definitely - I think my maths rating of 7/10 are basically because I was just considering anything I wasn't 100% on as completely messing up and given I was aiming for high study scores I knew how much just a few marks could impact my score. Thankfully, at the end (also when looking at exam solutions) it was all fine.

EDIT: Also biology given how scoring can be quite assessor dependent is probably why it is also a 7/10
