Title: Score for 48-49
Post by: Over9000 on June 22, 2009, 11:50:36 pm: A friend wanted to ask me but I don't know so I'll ask here, is it still possible to get 48-49 if you dropped 2 marks in midyear and no marks for end of year?

I think yes, but what are your thoughts?

Post by: TrueTears on June 22, 2009, 11:53:19 pm: I don't see why not, dropping 2 marks in exams overall should be capable of 48-49.

[provided SAC scores aren't low]

Post by: methodsboy on July 08, 2009, 01:14:41 pm: say if you dropped 6 marks in exam 1. Got low A+'s for ur SACs (assume a middle class cohort) and drop about 5 marks in exam 2. is it possible to get 38 raw?

I think yes too. I think 50 is possible.

The assessment reports generally say that about 15-or-so people get full marks each exam. They won't all be the same people either. So it should be possible.

Definately. Last year I got 39 with:

Exam 1: A
SACs: A+
Exam 2: A

And losing 6 and 5 marks over both exams should get you high A's at the VERY least. And this was with an average to below-average cohort.

yea i got 38 last year, with A A+ A+
hmm. the SS estimator says that i will get 38-39 with
GA1 - A+ (low)
GA1 - A (high)
GA3 - A (low)
how accurate is this thing?

Post by: rhjc.1991 on July 09, 2009, 06:23:23 pm: not that accurate. There is no way to precisely predict your SS without having the data of all the 8000 Physics students
