methods study score

[melanie.dee]

so what am i going to get. its gona be my 6th subject. but i still wana know haha

my sacs have been horrible but i havnt picked up a book all year, so im not sure how i managed to even get what i did haha

D, C+, B, C+, C. yaaaaaaaay haha. ranking probably somwhere down the bottom

now iv all of a sudden decided to do a tiiiny bit of study.

so i did last years exam as a practice and got 28/40 which vcaa tells me is JUST a B+ ie the very edge of B+

so say i get high B/maybe B+ on exam one.

and probably the same on exam 2.

what kind of study score could i get.. consider my sacs are gona be bad.

[costargh]

30 raw min. my bro got B+ B B+ and got 31 raw last year

hehehe, melanie, we're in the same boat. Methods will definitely be my bottom subject and, like you, I've hardly touched a textbook all year. My SAC marks are pretty much
54%, 86%, 49%, 48%. For some reason I managed to get an A for calculus - it's the only topic in methods that I actually enjoyed. What's the grade for between 45 and 55? Is that a D? If so, you're actually way better than me. At least you're averaging C's

What would those grades above make my overall grade for SACs?

Like you, I tried last year's exam (tech-free) and I managed to get a 75%which I was proud of until I realised that, well, last year's exam was pretty darn easy. But if I somehow, by some stroke of luck - and hard work, of course, since I've also been trying to actually um you know...try - managed to get a 75% for both exams, what study score would I be looking at? Is that enough to get at least a 25, or is that pushing it?

(Sorry if I hijacked this thread...since our situations are pretty similar, I thought we'd both benefit from the responses). Wish you the best of luck, melanie!

I did Methods last year and I got about the same SAC marks as you, but yeah it was year 11 and I didn't really care, anyways enough of my excuses. I got B, C+, C: Study Score: 27; my friend got B+, B+, B+: Study Score: 34

what kind of study score could i get.. consider my sacs are gona be bad.

So you would get around 29-32, but hey people usually do better during the real exams, from my experience anyways.

Yeah you would get in the low 30s range. But you gotta study hard of course

how many marks max can be dropped over both exams to get a study score of 38+ (A+ sacs ranked top5)

I want to know too.

[kido_1]

Probably 10-20

No clue really(im guessing this years paper will be tough)

[2happy]

is there a chance of over 30; if school ave. is 50% on sacs; im a little lower than the middle band. got around 75% exam one; if i loose 20 marks on exam 2?

[kido_1]

It depends on how hard Exam 2 is tomorrow...........

[2happy]

if i get 25 SS; wud it get scaled up past 30?

[JL_91]

in 06 a 25 SS scaled to 31, so yes. if the paper is hard enough this year, it should scale a little more even.

someone already gave me an opinion on my possible SS, but what do you guys think: SACs all A+ ranked #1 or #2 at a school whose SACs scale up really well, Exam 1 im pretty sure a 39/40, if not then 38 minimum. thanks in advance

Wow, that's pretty good, um it would depend on what you got for exam 2 though, but maybe just maybe 45ish not too sure...

That is incorrect reasoning. Scaling doesn't depend on 'difficulty' of the exams each year, it depends on the strength of competition.  :wink:

[JL_91]

thanks for the correction ahmad. i thought that coz someone at school who did methods last yr said so, and hoped that her marks might be scaled according to this yr lol

[Ahmad]

Yeah, lots of people seem to get confused! Her mark will be scaled according to last year, which is pretty much the same as every year.
