48 SS

[Moshimoshi]

hey everyone!
just wondering if anyone has scored a 48 (or just a high SS) or know of someone who has?! If so could you give me an indication of the SAC scores??

Mine are:
Unit 3: 90/100
Unit 4: 96/100

Not the most brilliant scores because I was aiming for a 50 in this subject but I am happy with them because my teacher is an insanely tough marker!
Would I pretty much need a 100% on the exam to hope for a 48?
Thanks!

It's not your raw score that counts - it's your rank within your school. This is because some schools mark hard while other's mark easy. Also, your exam result will (not can - will) scale your SACs up or down drastically. Strong SAC scores are a thin 'padding' in this regard.

I don't do this subject or know anyone that does, but usually you can stand to lose just a few marks and get 50. You can probably lose as little as 1 or as much as 4 marks to get a 50 at a *complete guess based off similar information received about other subjects.*

If that is top of your class 100%  on your exam will get you 50.

If that is second in your class, and the guy who comes first gets 100% on the exam, AND you get 100% exam you will also get 50 guaranteed.

Yeah it's all about ranking.

I know a girl with 48, i think she got the same marks as you did, but sacs are no indicator of results.

What SS would you be looking at if you are ranked first and

A) LOW-MEDIUM A+ on exam
B) Medium A+ on exam

Oh right!! Thankyou! What about if I'm ranked probably 2nd (we don't get given our rankings) and I get a 100% in my exam but the person who was ranked 1st doesn't, can I still get a 50? Does their score make a difference to mine?

If you get 100% on your exam, he will get your 100% for his SACs, but assuming he is a smart guy, he should be able to get 98%+ which in my opinion should get you 48+

A) LOW-MEDIUM A+ on exam
B) Medium A+ on exam

I'm only having an educated guess but I would say
a)40/41
b)43
