Hope everyone's content with their marks. Shouldn't be a long wait now for HUBS and BIOC.

If epi has been scaled, the scaled mark is what you see on PIMS. The only way to know if it has been scaled is to go to the epi department to view your exam script and use that to calculate your raw mark.
Epi was definitely scaled last year (for the first time!), so it's plausible.

That's what I thought about my mark too... Although that nasty 'unconfirmed' sitting there is unsettling, especially after the epi debacle in the past :S
ETA: Although, if it was scaled (with the other papers, isn't that how scaling's done in HSFY?), wouldn't it have come out on the same day as the others?
ETA2: If anyone is disappointed with their HEAL marks, from what I can make out, the marks distribution in HEAL was pretty damn low, so your marks are probably better compared to everyone else than you think

I hate the "unconfirmed". It's still lingering beside my med 3 grade and I'd rather like it gone :S
Well I got 87%, which isn't too bad, considering the exam was so long that I missed 5% of the marks due to not finishing. But yeah, HEAL seems to be really rather good at average-lowering.
And yes, they do sometimes scale, although unless you go and check your exam script you'll never know (they don't actually tell you, I only know scaling exists thanks to MSO). But from the marks I've heard so far, perhaps epi wasn't scaled... (It's unusual that the highest mark I've heard is 92%, lol).
Well done! (Is that even possible? Haha. So either you lost <1% internally (then got 100%-ish in the final), or they scaled)ETA: I don't mean to sound like a douche, but this *is* an unconfirmed result :S
Whoa! That's impressive! Well done!
Me too!!! Do you know how many people get distinction in 2nd year by the way?
I think they aim for roughly 10% of each year level to get distinction.

hi i'd like to know what happens if you fail level 3 chemistry? doesn't that mean you can't take biochem in the second semester? then what happens? Cheers
Not quite sure what you're asking. If you fail NCEA L3 chemistry it'll be advised that you do the chemistry bridging course, but I don't think anyone will stop you from enrolling in CHEM191. You would find CHEM191 very hard though.
If you fail CHEM191 you can't do BIOC192 and have to pull out of HSFY. Failing any HSFY paper essentially means you have to pull out of HSFY though, because no professional course will take you.
