What is needed to obtain a Study Score of 25?

[anjie123]

Hey guys, as you can probably already guess, Methods is the bane of my existence. Could you please tell me whether a

C+ for Internal SACS
C for Exam 1
D+ to C for Exam 2

would bring me close to a 25?

Thanks everyone!

Bump. I want the answer too. D: Also, how about a 30 my SAC avg is a C. D:

I know someone who got C for sacs, C+ for both exams and got 25. So you're gonna need a C+ on exam 2 in order to bring up your score since it's weighted quite highly. I personally got B for sacs, C for exam 1 and a C+ for exam 2 for a 27 which then scaled to 34. Just go through all the past vcaa exams with a tutor or something and you'll get the hang of a how to do a decent number of questions and that should be enough for a 25!

You'll need a B on both exams for a 30 I'm guessing, because oddly enough the median for methods is a B grade (instead of the usual C+).

A, B+, C+ got 30

With a 27 in maths were you able to handle the maths in biomed ok? I got 29 and am just worried that that will be my downfall. I know it's a new maths this year, however.

A 29 in Methods isn't bad per se, consider that you're better than around like 47% of everyone who did Methods

Yeah I was fine, I've never really struggled with maths in high school. It was just in year 12 I thought I'd be better off to focus on my top 4 intensely and I subsequently did practically nothing for methods (literally 3 VCAA practice exams, maybe 12 pages of set exercises for the whole year - yeah I was badass haha).. So with effort I did well. Calculus was very difficult, basically specialist maths without the physics bit in 12 weeks time.. And my score in that was very different to my methods score in year 12, which really did show it was more of a matter of effort than any lack of skill/talent in maths (I'm sure it'll be the same for you!). So if you just keep up with the work you'll be fine, just make sure you work hard! However you'll be doing a new course called 'Maths for Biomedicine', since it's new there's no point asking any students about it's difficulty/content cos nobody has ever done it!

Btw, next time maybe just PM the relevant people in older threads because heaps of old and perhaps outdated threads are getting revived just to ask one question clearly aimed at a single member, so you're probably better off just PMing them

I got 31 with B+, B, B+ - should give you somewhat of an indication.

(this was actually the result I was happiest about, I expected less than 25)

[Fantasia94]

i got A A B+ and 35 if that helps. so Im guessing to achieve a 25 you'll probably need a high C average maybe.

I can't give you specific marks for methods, but I will give you some marks obtained by either me or my classmates for other subjects:

Literature study score: 23
U3 SAC's: C
U4 SAC's: C+
Exam: C

Literature study score: 25
U3 SAC's: C+
U4 SAC's: C+
Exam: C+

Indonesian study score: 30
U3 SAC's: B+
U4 SAC's: A
Exam: B+

So as you can see, the median mark is a lot higher than a C+. It actually takes a bit of effort to get a 25 in a subject.

Unless it's Physics.
