    Had the first of four examweeks a mere week ago, together with the other three they constitute 50 % of my final marks. I'll know how I've done when school starts in a couple of days.

    Good luck Rythmic and CA.

    Pah, easy way out - try english/physics/chemistry/biology/math b/ancient for a workload

    Should have taken C, but that's another story

    School assessment goes on all year round (including term 4).

    An external examination called the QCS test is then used to rank both schools, and subjects, based on the results of students in those subjects.

    The school then ranks students within subjects, and overall.

    Possibly the worst subject I have ever had the misfortune of taking.
    *grimaces

    Ours is 30% aussie history, which is why I didn't take it

    Is yours the same?

    An arcane system thus allocates a set number of OP scores (exit grades) to ecah school, and these are distributed.

    So basically, the end of year 12 IB tests start in two weeks.



    We run the IB program. Foolish people joined, smart people dropped out.

    Actually its Lower Sixth IB (otherwise known as "IB year 1" or to the uncouth "year 12").

    So yes.

    I mentioned northern hemisphere not to try and be sophisticated but because the southern hemisphere take their exams at a different time.

    I am actually getting a lot out of this program - I don't know why anyone could regret making the decision to stay on...

    Same here, half our year does it. Most of the courses are the same. I think most start on the 2nd of November.

    2 down, 4 to go. I'm so glad it was all essay writing today! No speeches or feature articles.
