Post by: Steve252 on September 09, 2017, 02:34:42 pm

The a+ cutoff for the french exam in 2016 was 166/200.
So for a 42 raw I would say that you would need about a 175/200
Good luck your for exam :D

Thanks mate
I was just wondering isn't the exam out of 100, not 200?

exams are double marked hence the total mark out of 200

So approximately what would I need for a 45+ score in French? Sorry I am just hoping to score as high as possible in French  :D

I went to the grade distribution for 2016 and saw that the combined score for the oral and written exams was out of 400. So i halfed it so it was out of 200. I think it was for both the oral and written combined though.

The French exam, and LOTE exams in general (I believe), is actually out of 400 marks :)

Here's the grade distribution for French last year, if you want to have a look. GA 1 = unit 3 SACs, GA 2 = unit 4 SACs, GA3 = oral and written exams

So approximately what would I need for a 45+ score in French? Sorry I am just hoping to score as high as possible in French  :D
I'd imagine you'd need a high A+ :) I had A+ for GA1 & GA2 (and was rank 1) but only got an A for GA3 and it dragged me just below a 40.

High a+, so maybe ~190/200

Ok thanks everyone for the information, it was very helpful :)
So far this year my scores are:
Unit 3:45/50
Unit 4:49/50
So does that count as high A+ even though unit 3 was a bit lower?

Most likely a high A+

Honestly, it depends on rank. Your raw scores from units 3 and 4 don't mean that much.

I'd suggest not stressing about the particulars of how many marks you can get away with losing - just focus on studying hard and doing your best on your exams :) Predictions are just that - predictions.

Hey everyone,
What kind of score would I be looking at with a 67/75 on the written exam with high A+ sacs and A+ oral exam? Cheers
Title: Re: French Study Score
Post by: Sparrow213 on September 19, 2017, 05:43:38 pm
Thanks very much. So what score would I need for a high 40s score (47,48)?

Same sacs and oral exam score + 70/75 on the exam I reckon

Thank you. And am I right in assuming a 50 requires 75/75 on the exam?

Most probably, full marks. Good luck with your exam :)

Just to clarify, I think its pretty unlikely you'll need to full mark the exam in order to score a 50 in French - as is the case for just about every LOTE I can think of. Like, to emphasise it even more - only 4 people got a 50 in French last year, and 199 people got an A+ for GA3. It's pretty hard to full mark everything. To even get over a study score of 35, you have to basically be fluent in the language. :)

If you want a more "accurate" prediction, speak to your teacher. They have the experience of having taught lots of students, all with varying scores, throughout the years. :) That being said, the marks needed to get a certain study score change every year, and there are a fair few variables that can change around too.

Just to re-iterate though - focus on working hard and putting in your best possible effort - don't stress about how many marks you need in order to get x study score. Put in the effort, and it'll pay off. :)

 Hey guys,
I just had one last question
With high A+ sacs and A+ oral exam, what kind of score would a 60 or 61/75 on the written exam give me?
Thanks :)

43ish raw

Wow thanks, that’s higher than what I was expecting :)
So what kind of score would net me a 40 raw with the previously mentioned sacs and oral grades? Cheers

Ok thanks very much
So I was just wondering, the exam is out of 400, so how is it split between the oral and written exam. Is it 100 oral and 300 written? Cheers.

The written examination is 75 marks before doubling, so 150 after doubling, which means that the oral exam must be 125 marks before doubling, and 250 after doubling

Post by: Steve252 on September 24, 2017, 12:34:14 pm
Ah okay thank you.
Is it possible that the 75 for written exam is multiplied by 4 and then the oral exam out of 25 also multiplied by 4?

Isn’t the oral exam out of 100, and the written out of 300? Or am I mistaken?

Hi everyone,
What kind of written exam score would I need to get a 45 raw if my sacs were high A+ and my oral exam was 93-95/100?
Thanks very much

~67/75
I'm not the best with SL study score predictions so could be slightly off. :)

Hi everyone,
According to a teacher at my school,
90/100 in the oral and 68/75 in the written exam will give a raw 40. Do you think that is accurate? Cheers :)
