Title: Predict me something!
Post by: nubs on November 05, 2011, 01:03:14 pm
If I dropped 5 or 6 marks out of 75 in unit 3 with the highest exam mark and top SAC scores, and dropped around 5 to 7 in unit 4 with first/second (not sure) rank in SAC scores, what type of study score would I be looking at?

Definitely above a 45, I would say something around the 47, possibly 48 mark?

what's your cohort like. two 70's with good sacs is generally a 50

Um, no one got lower than a B for the unit 3 exam, maybe it was B+
Most people got As and some other kid and I got an A+
There are about 13 kids in our class

Really? I thought you could only drop like max two marks in either exam :/

at the top end for biology, it is very tight, the difference between 47 - 50 is ~ 3-4 marks across both exams.
