What exam score will get me a 40+ for english?
« on: November 30, 2021, 03:20:00 am »
Right now, I'm tossing and turning between thinking I did mediocre on the exam, thinking I butchered it, and thinking I smashed it.
Though, in my gut, I feel like realistically could have gotten:
8-8.5/10 for section A
8.5-9/10 for section B
and 7-7.5/10 for section C

Now I know my gut feeling can be very wrong, but if someone pointed a loaded gun to my head and asked me what scores I predicted, that's what I would honestly say while trying to remove any bias whatsoever.

So, in the past, what scores were needed for a 40+? I'm at a state where honestly none of my other subjects really matter at all, (even the high scaling ones), and my whole atar is basically dependent on my english score.
I know a graded distribution exists but I have no idea how to read it or even how any of the numbers work for it.

FWIW I got my statement of marks in 2018 when I graduated VCE. I got 51/60 on the exam for a 44 study score, but obviously SACs may complicate things cuz they're worth the other half of your study score
VCE 2016-2018

2017: Biology [38], Further Maths [44]

2018: Methods [37], French [38], Chem [40], English [44]

UMAT: 56/43/80, 57th percentile (LLLLOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL)

ATAR: 98.1

2019-2021: Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Monash (Scholars), minoring in Chemistry

GAMSAT September 2021: 65/67/86, 76 overall (98th percentile)

I got a 49 in English (in 2020) and my scores were
20/20 Section A
17/20 Section B
19/20 Section C
(overall 56/60) - with almost full scaling SACs

All the best! With those scores there's a good chance you'll get over a 40!

Hey atar's back and I've got some good news! I don't know my english exam score, but I did get exactly a 40 raw study score so I'm happy!
