Title: How well must I do in spesh
Post by: Over9000 on March 18, 2009, 06:28:56 pm
I really want to get a 40 in spesh, but have been told that I probs wont. Does anyone know how good you must be doing in spesh to get a raw 40, I know its extremely hard but how hard. I got to scotch college and I'm above average but not by alot. Do I have to be like one of the top students at my school to get over 40 in spesh, I know a bit above average isnt enough, just wanna know how much I have to improve?

I hope specialist is somewhat like methods in terms of score trends. I stuffed up quite a few SACs (way below average of the class) for methods but ended up with a score I was grateful with.

Is specialist 34-22-44 as well? But then again for specialist we only have four SACs in total so I guess it doesn't leave much room for major stuff ups for school assessments. I've already fucked my first SAC.

You could probably guess from the number of people who got above 40 last year at your school yeah? (which appears to be 17)

Lol, I will, so do you guys think I could get a 40 raw, even though im only a bit above average if I could improve a more (Im not sure by how much)?

Im not sure how many, I think someone told me 10 students out of about 60 got above 40, which sounds rather low?

over9000 ignore that ronald ho guy... his not even good himself.

I am sure you will do really good, but the amount of work I've seen you put into spesh, 40+ should be no problem.

I just checked the high achievers list, it seems to be at least 17 (not counting people who opted not to show their name)

edit: which is 2nd only to MHS btw in terms of numbers, so yeah, you have good odds if you're high in your cohort.

Thats better, then I wouldnt feel so bad when over 30 people beat me in spesh test (like what happens in scotch to me everytime I get a test result back), dont know about you tho, your probs top in your class?

Don't fret that much over your SACs, just do well on your exam and I'm sure you'll end up with a score you're happy with :)

Yeh, youre probably right, still its important for me to do well in my sacs so then if I dont do extremely well in my exam, I wont get like a 30

Yep 17 for just Scotch, which is um...quite high.
But yeah...being ranked high in SACs doesn't guarantee a high SS. It certainly helps though

Post by: Over9000 on March 18, 2009, 08:20:01 pm
Oh, 17, thats better than 10. I would say, out of 60 in scotch, im ranked about 25

Your schools way better than mine. We haven't had a person over 40 for methods or specialist for like 5 years. Hoping to change that this year.

one thing i learned in vce is never listen to what people tell you about your ability, you yourself are the best judge of how good you are, and a 40 needs work and more work means a higher score

Exactly, if you put the work in, you get the reward :)
