Title: What is needed for a 25 SS in Methods?
Post by: keep-it-classy on August 07, 2014, 09:17:02 pm
Hi all!
Does anyone know what SAC scores and exam grades are required to get a 25 in Methods?
When it comes to all my other subjects, I love and enjoy doing them however with Methods, I just absolutely loathe it. The only reason why I chose it as an elective is because it is required as a prerequisite for my course.
Not only that, our teacher isn't the most wisest and efficient though I do not blame him for my lack of effort or enthusiasm in the subject (Okay well maybe 60%).
So yeah, I've attained  terrible SAC scores coming into Unit 4. For Unit 3 I got 65% and 67% on the tests (forgot how much they were out of), and surprisingly 93% for the application task.  However our school just did the application task for Calculus and I feel that I have performed absolutely horrible.

Can anyone suggest the type of scores I should be looking out for just as a guideline?
I know this may sound like another pointless post but I am just worried that I might not be able to meet the prerequisite study score for my course.

  Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to your replies!  ;D

You can easily get above 30 still... what do you think your ranking is? If most other students are getting the same scores as you then you shouldn't be too worried.

Just go hard at the exam as +30 is easily attainable.

Very, very little.

At my peak I knew about 50% of the Methods course - leaving a third of each exam paper blank. I couldn't even complete the very first warm-up differentiation question without the cheat sheet (subtract from the index number and multiply by something or other...).

Still managed to scrap into the 30s.

Marked up score of 30's? or raw?
