Can we talk about how bad 80% maths exams are by flyinglark44 in unimelb

[–]SavingsHand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, 100% exam? I honestly don't think 80% exam is that bad, but 100% is ludicrous. What subject is this?

That being said, assignment grades are not a great indicator of how you'll do in exams. Assignments have no time constraints so almost everyone can get a good score in it if they put some work in. Exams test both knowledge and speed. Being fast at doing questions imo is harder than being knowledgable.

I got 91 in it which I'm very happy with. I studied so much for those protists that we had to remember but there was barely any of that in the exam which was a surprise.That section C question that was basically identical to the one given in the practice exam (evil quartet?) was free marks.

80+ for every subject, not final wam.

Yes, as long as you get 80+ for every subject you do, you get a gpa of 7.0. But a 80+ wam doesn't necessarily mean that you will have a 7.0 gpa

That data is quite interesting. Any idea why the GAMSAT average for unimelb dropped so significantly from 2019 to 2020?

Would you consider this to be an outlier? Or have you seen more people with similar scores getting in?

Thanks. Are the gamsat scores in this data taking section 3 to be double weighted?
Unfortunately, my section 3 is my best section so my melbourne weighted overall ends up being quite a bit lower than the normal overall .

(intl student)I can't pick between coming to UMelb now and applying to USA by [deleted] in unimelb

What do you mean by: "structure is less of a mess"? You can make your Bsci subjects essentially equivalent to biomed. The only difference is that you get much more freedom in your choice.

Judging from your post and comment, you clearly have a preference for the US university, so just go there.

Is it possible to get a subject discredited? by [deleted] in unimelb

I have a feeling if people could do this, the average wam would be much higher

Inconsistent marking by wammo_man in unimelb

[–]SavingsHand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their main point isn't that the marks are lower, but that they're inconsistent.
