Title: Anyone getting a Statement of Study Score?
Post by: jono88 on December 16, 2013, 08:23:08 pm
Just wondering if anyone else is applying for statement of Study Score.
I certainly am for chemistry as ga1 received a C+ and ga2 A. I emailed the teacher and he said it's impossible that i would have gotten a C+ even after vcaa's scaling for unit 3 sacs.

I'm getting one for philosophy. I got A+, A+, B. Seems odd to me since I thought I did pretty well on that exam :S

I'm going to get one for all of my subjects because I'm really, really curious to see just exactly how I went.
You get them by posting the letter that comes in during the next few days with your GAT results.

I might be... I'm really surprised and elated with my ATAR but I want to know why I got 39 on Physics, I understood everything on the exam and got A, A+ and A+. Although my first unit 3 SACs were crap surely they wouldn't have had THAT much impact? XD
Yeah, seriously. I full marked my unit 4 SACs for lit and felt like the exam went perfectly, but I've got A+, A+, A => 39, which has just ruined my week.

Looking at your school cohort's performance based on quppa.net info, your SAC grades seem reasonable as your cohort appears weak.

I'm not sure what you mean by your school's exam grade though. Were these predictions make by your teacher? If so, it's quite probably your teachers overestimated how well they think you'd go...not that VCAA unfairly gave you a lower grade than you expected.

Do you guys reckon it's worth it?

depends if you want to know where you made every silly little mistake for maths + sciences

dunno what they look like for english and humanity subjects tho... If anyone wants to I can post up a scanned copy of SoM and SoSS so you can see the diffference.

SoM goes thro every question (for maths and sciences) showing you were you lost marks and how much
SoSS tells you how your score was calculated and your overall exam score and how much your sacs were adjusted

English is basically one page that says "Total exam score: 56/60"

Section A               Total questions: 20     Questions to be answered: 1         Total Marks: 20      Your Mark: 20
Section B                .......
Section C                ........


And that's pretty much it.

Might as well get it then, nothing to lose but $20.

Are any of you guys getting your exams back? Sounds like a big hassle.
Title: Re: Anyone getting a Statement of Study Score?
Post by: Anchy on December 17, 2013, 09:23:26 pm
Alwin, was this all you were given (ie. is there a second page).


So the cut-off scores for each integer-study score (eg. 50, 45 etc.) is not given? Also, you don't get to see what the assesors gave you individually, but are only given the combined score?
I think you'd want a statement of marks if you want to see what you were given individually.

Also, what is a base score?

Upon receiving my Stament of Study Score if I do find errors what should I do and in the best case scenario what can VCAA/VTAC do with my GA's or study scores?

How can you tell if my cohort is weak ? If a cohort is weak does that mean you get scaled down and pulled down ?

what does ga1, ga2 and ga3 mean?
Title: Re: Anyone getting a Statement of Study Score?
Post by: brenden on January 05, 2014, 12:15:22 pm
Graded Assessment 1, 2 and 3. Normally just Unit 3 SACs, Unit 4 SACs, and your exam score. For math subjects it's Units 3 and 4 SACs, Exam 1 score, Exam 2 score.

wait does that mean for the maths subjects:

GA1 ---> Unit 3&4 SACs
GA2 ---> Exam 1 Score
GA3 ---> Exam 2 Score

for languages would it be the same as all the other subjects?

GA1 ---> Unit 3 SACs
GA2 ---> Unit 4 SACs
GA3 ---> Written + Oral Exam
Title: Re: Anyone getting a Statement of Study Score?
Post by: stolenclay on January 07, 2014, 10:56:35 pm
I think LOTEs are usually
GA1: Unit 3 and 4 SACs
GA2: Oral examination
GA3: Written examination
gg

EDIT@below:
Ahaha, even after the LOTEs I did... Can't believe I didn't know lol.

It's actually
GA1: Unit 3 SACs
GA2: Unit 4 SACs
GA3: Exams

according to the VCAA site. It makes little sense on the surface, but if you think about it, the oral exam is worth 12.5%, hardly enough to constitute a separate GA.
Title: Re: Anyone getting a Statement of Study Score?
Post by: spectroscopy on January 08, 2014, 01:08:05 am
yeah some subjects have 4 GA's if you look at the study summarys on the vcaa website, but the lowest contributing thing gets grouped up with whether its a sac/exam. for example: because lote orals are worth 12.5% it just becomes "exams", and since methods unit 4 sacs are worth 14% it just gets grouped up as "sacs"
