Title: Study score predictions (BusMan, Lit, English, Psych)
Post by: mangobells on August 12, 2014, 01:10:02 pm
I keep getting really down on myself and start thinking that I'm ridiculous for even thinking I could get a 40+ SS for any subject, but then sometimes I think my marks could be good enough. Then I swing back to thinking its just plain unachievable. I'd appreciate if someone could tell me if 40+ SS for any of these subjects are completely out of the question based on my SAC scores or if I still have some chance and should keep aiming towards that. Any feedback is appreciated! :)

Business: (rank 1 the whole year in every SAC)
SAC 1: 19/20
SAC 2: 36/40
SAC 3: 36/40

Literature: (rank 2)
SAC 1: 19/20
SAC 2: 35/40
SAC 3: 34/40

Psychology: (rank 1 whole year)
SAC 1: 49/50
SAC 2: 50/50
SAC 3: 50/50

English: (rank 1 whole year)
SAC 1: 19/20
SAC 2: 29/30
SAC 3: 20/20
SAC 4: 27/30

It's your ranking that counts, not the scores. Your SAC score will get scaled to the highest exam score of your school (if you are ranked no 1) Because actual scores don't really mean anything because different schools have different difficulty sacs.
You could get a 40% average, and still get a 50 if you are ranked one and smash the exams...

I'm not sure how hard or easy or sacs are, so maybe do a few practise exams (if you're ready for them of course) to kinda gauge what ss you could get. If you are ranked 1, and hit A+ (check vcaa grade distribution), then you could get a 40+
