I'm wondering what it takes to score a 30 RAW for English. Also, 25 RAW for English (prerequisite for uni)
-
Three C's will get 30 (ideally), lower than that I guess for 25.

I know someone who got C+ B+ C and got 28 RAW

Depends on how low the grades are etc (which is why I said "ideally")

Well, after viewing the 2012 English Graded Distributions table, I was able to find that 78% of students scored approx 55% or higher, so I'm looking at a minimum of 60% and 29/60 to most likely secure a 25 SS in English.

what sort of study score would 50/60 get you? LOL i never understood how english scores were given

A 50/60 would be in the top 6% of the state approximately for the GA3. A person who would score a 50/60 would most likely have scored something like 92/100 for GA1 and GA2... So I'd estimate around 42 study score.. correct me if anyone disagrees :D

Nice logic.

...I don't know why you just put those quotes together. I wrote one of them and read the other.

I'm assuming that your post was regarding my recent post about the 50/60 exam mark.
-
Yes, it was.
-
Yes, it was.
Which is why I quoted you with what I had said previously..
What do you mean by "Nice logic" then? Someone who scores 50/60 in the English exam would be likely to have scored a minimum of approximately 90% for their GA1 and GA2. If you disagree, can you explain why.
-
Well, logic is what you used, and nice is what I thought your logic was, so I said that your logic was nice.

Felt as if you were being sarcastic.
Can you just lock this thread now? (you're a mod right?) I already have an answer now.

For literature, I got a 23 study score with:
U3 SAC's: C
U4 SAC's: C+
Exam: C

I wasn't being sarcastic.
Literature is different to English, it's more competitive.
I also don't have lock powers, I'm not a moderator for this board.

Thanks, although like Brendinkles said Literature is much more competitive. Can't believe that pretty much 65% of the state score B's(70%+) all year round..

How is that meant to make a difference? Competition affects scaled scores. I'm talking about a 23 raw score. For example, one would expect that a student who scored all A's for food tech would get the same raw study score as a student who scored all A's for specialist maths.
Oh and when I say these grades, these are the scaled grades. Obviously not everyone who gets C's in SAC's is going to end up with a C on their GA (general assessment) when they receive their VCE results. I'm talking about the grades that are actually printed on the VCE results sheet, NOT the grades that your teacher gives you during class.
Having said all of that, I can see your point because VCAA is retarded and although a C+ is supposed to be the median grade for every subject (ie. all C+'s will get you a 30 raw score), that is not always the case. For some unknown and illogical reason, VCAA decided to be inconsistent with their grading system, thus making the whole grading system pointless, since it doesn't actually tell you anything.
They might as well make the median grade an A+ for one subject, so that all A's will get you a 25 study score, then make the median grade a UG for another subject, so that all D's will get you a 40 study score. That's how stupid the system is.

Scoring a high C+ (67%) in English means that you're in the top 49% in the state
Scoring a high C+ (67%) in Literature means that you're in the top 70% in the state
(For unit 3 coursework, assuming Unit 4 and Examination would be similar)

This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's ridiculous! The grades are meaningless if they don't represent a consistent percentile across all subjects.

Nine months later and here I am laughing at how worried I was that I couldn't get 20 study score in English
hard work + AN pays off.
(major gravedig..)
