Accounting study score
« on: November 07, 2013, 12:48:16 pm »

So I got rank 1 in the sacs at my school this year for accounting. Pretty much all A+'s. Just wondering what the expected distribution for the exam marks and the study scores are.

E.g

if I get 80% on the exam will that get me 40?
Will 90% get me 45? (That's what I am kinda aiming for)

I've been getting 85-95's on practice exams and wondering what score I would get.

Thanks for the help, 00Shane

The A+ cut off for Accounting would have to be around 70 - 80 since it is the first year of a combined exam

The A+ cutoff is typically ~86%. I would expect it to remain the same this year even though its combined.

Hi, I do accounting. Not my best subject haha (bottom 2). My class consists of 7 people. My sac average all year is around 55%. My prediction for the exam is roughy (45-55%). What kind of SS am I looking at ?

Well that's good to know. So if I get around 90% I should expect ~45 study score?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Nah, with an A+ cutoff at 86% (top 10% of state) and with a 45 being the top 2% of the state, I doubt 90% will be a 45. Then again, the cutoff could be lower.

90% would be low 40s.

Going by past history, there's every chance the cutoff will be 86%.

Alright thanks for clearing that up.

Can be a little confusing at times aha
