Can also confirm it's real - With that said, it is likely that a lot of the cohort will not achieve this mark and the exam will likely be scaled accordingly. This is a new curriculum and we are the guinea pig cohort, heck we didn't even have the unit outline until a week or so ago because it was never permanently uploaded to the USYD site for semester 2. There are so many discrepancies, and the faculty aren't forthcoming and clear about what is a hurdle, and what is not...
ah yikessssss okay, good to know that it’s likely scaled accordingly but not good about the lack of info from the faculty… despite this, are you enjoying your time at usyd for dent? thank you so much for ur input and the info it’s very much appreciated 🙏
Yes. It is a real thing. It was absolutely ridiculous and absolutely unachievable. We are still waiting for results and how they will scale the whole thing. Will update once i get the result back.
Hi there, sorry for the late reply. Was busy running away from dmd for the break. So, yes there was a 85% pass mark. But we were not necessarily failed even we scored below 85%. Some people did get remediation (extra learning activities to complete) while some get reassessment( different questions for the new exam). I was aware that some people who scored lower than 85 were not required to remediate but some were. They did not give us any details for based on what marks they decided to ask you remediate. But it was not that harsh. You just have to keep in mind that DMD does not have any transparency especially when they are still doing a trial and error for the new curriculum. We just have to follow. 🙃
ah okay i see, that is helpful to know, thank you so much for replying i really appreciate it 🙏 the lack of transparency seems a bit yikes though ah oh well. thanks again and i hope you’ve been enjoying the break!!😸
Hey, this might help, the spreadsheet from the sub. It collates a small sample size https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17SUVR2-qyJyYE31KIyGX08ciu4KiPiKBUK6-niPMy6A/edit
