When you'll do probability in methods you'll be able to calculate that yourself (kind of)

question to you:
How are you able to accelerate english?

I don't know, I guess you'd have to be really good at English to get accelerated.

From the VCAA: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/faqs/vcecurrentstudents.html#H3N100A9

Quote
The maximum study score is 50. Each year, and for every study, the mean study score is set at 30. A score of between 23 and 37 shows that you are in the middle range of students; a score of more than 38 indicates that you are in the top 15%.

For studies with large enrolments (1,000 or more):
2% of students will get a score on or above 45
9% of students will get a score on or above 40
26% of students will get a score on or above 35
53% of students will get a score on or above 30
78% of students will get a score on or above 25
93% of students will get a score on or above 20.

Going by hearsay, those values are rounded off a bit, but it's around that nonetheless.

Continuing the off-topic discussion:
Also I'm guessing you're in one of those SEALP classes, judging by the number of VCE subjects you're planning to undertake.

Thanks laseredd, that's exactly what I'm looking for with that table of info  :D :D :D
Also, yes, I am in a SEAL program, practically all of my VCE studies are accelerated and my Legal Studies subject is accelerated by 2 years.

He might be referring to scaled 50+ I guess

This topic has also gone quite off-topic too
