With 84.6%, 84.5% and 79% class averages going into finals respectively, the OTHS 12 chemistry class was hoping to maintain their high marks for their finals to submit to university. Unfortunately, the final exam, worth 15%, was much more challenging than they had been prepared for. With many students achieving significantly lower marks than they had going into the final exam, with an exam median of 59.5%, the student body feels as though this exam was an unfair test of their skill set. Many individuals taking this course plan to pursue science for their undergraduate studies, and consequently will be submitting their final chemistry mark to universities. A lower final mark of even 2-3% could result in a failure to meet the requirements of their program. We hope that our efforts throughout the year will be reflected through the final mark, as opposed to an unnecessarily lower mark due to an unfairly difficult exam.

This is honestly so unfair. We worked so hard all semester and one exam shouldn't ruin our chances for uni.

The exam was BRUTAL compared to everything else we did in class. Not even close to what we studied.

Ridiculous that an exam this hard is allowed. Give the students a fair grade for the work they actually put in all year.
