With amazing SAC marks like that, your exam mark A will pull you down as it will show the SACS set were obviously too easy.

Unit 3:
SOC - 28/30
Vis Per - 29/30
Brain - 37/40
EXAM - A+ (getting statement of results soon)

Unit 4-
Just had my Memory SAC, dunno about score yet. I will hopefully get it back tomorrow or Monday.


If I went the same way all year (around 95% on SACs and A+ on exams), what do you guys reckon I could get? I'm aiming for 42-45 for my raw SS. Thanks. :)
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: jsher098 on August 14, 2009, 11:33:15 pm
Ye for my SACS I've got 95% and above for all. Got 100% on my first for UNIT 4- Memory.
Mid-year: A+
I'm hoping for 44-45

I'm just saying if you do amazing on SACS (say 100%) but only get A on exam, your exam mark will rapidly bring your SAC marks down as they will assume the SACS were too easy.
Just make sure you dominate the end of year- high A+ :P
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: Saraime2003 on August 16, 2009, 11:28:07 am
Thats what i'm hoping for cos i mean i worked my butt off for my SAC marks, i dont want them to go to waste lol.
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...

UNIT 3
Brain/Nervous System: 39/40
Visual Perception: 23/30 (FML...this one was a poster, lost marks for presentation :( )
SoC: 28/30
EXAM: A

Unit 4...haven't gotten anything back yet. Even with these scores, I'm ranked third. Probably not a good thing.

Over 40 would be lovely, but I think I may have ruined it? Unless I ace the end of year exam. I think I got a terrible "Psychology is easy, I don't need to study" mentality.

@ Nitroanarchygirl you should be real proud  :D :D Those are a great set of marks, i reckon ur defintely in the 40's, and would be easily up for 43-45 if u continue those A+'s, especially coz they're upper range

Thanks for the encouragement :D, I'm trying really hard for a high score in Psych, considering I'm doing absolutely horrible in Methods this year (even though I got A last year...)

If it's of any help, I got 50 with these SAC scores:

Unit 3
SAC 1: 36.5/40
SAC 2: 39.5/40
SAC 3: 30/30
Exam A+

Unit 4
SAC 1: 38/40
SAC 2: 40/40
SAC 3: 30/30
Exam A+

I was ranked first though, so that could have contributed significantly.

Best of luck :)

just curious, how many marks did you lose across both exams (/180) ?
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: khalil on September 09, 2009, 06:24:46 pm
I got 44 with these SAC scores
1-86%
2-98%
3-99%
4-95%
5-97%
6-100%

Ranked first in my cohort (low standard public school)

how many marks you lose for end of year exam?
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: khalil on September 09, 2009, 06:28:22 pm
Dont know for EoY, but for midyear i lost 5
I never did units 1+2 and picked it up in second term...
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: Ilovemathsmeth on September 09, 2009, 06:30:16 pm
i lost 1 mark on midyears; more than 4 on end of years.

so you dont need perfect marks to get a 50
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: jsher098 on September 11, 2009, 06:52:05 pm
Unit 3- averaged 95% across 3 sacs
Midyear A+

Unit 4
Memory: 70/70
Learning 80/80

Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: Nitroanarchygirl on September 14, 2009, 08:06:57 pm
This probably sounds stupid and pedantic, as I have commented here before...


I have lost 9 marks from SACs overall (not including last SAC on research methods) and I lost 10 marks on the midyear exam. Is 42 realistic if I get similar on the end of year exam??

oh i see, thanks. i'm pretty sure i've missed my chances of getting 45+ as i only got mid A+ on the exam.

Doing okay.

UNIT 3
AOS 1 (test on brain/nervous system) - 36/40
AOS 2 (poster on vis per) - 20/30 (yeah, woops....)
AOS 3 (essay on sleep and states of consciousness, was basically typing up a set of notes) - 30/30 (YAY!)
EXAM - B+ (and only just. got my statement of marks and if i had've got 1 lower i woulda got a B. still its not too bad)

UNIT 4
AOS 1 (research report <lab report> on elaborative vs maintenance rehearsal) - 18/20
AOS 2 (essay thing on memory in general) - haven't got it back yet
AOS 3 i know we're doing a test but not til after the hols
EXAM - really realllllllly hoping I could pull an A but higher end of a B+ would still be awes
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: Intronaut on September 18, 2009, 09:14:36 pm
Doing okay.

Oh, man, it's so nice to see another normal person on here who doesn't ace every single sac :D
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...

lol im doing absolutely shit on my sacs =)
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: coolkev on September 27, 2009, 01:59:51 pm
You are doing well.  I did better on one of them, but worse on another.   :)

End of yer exam will be interesting, hoping to get an A+ like semester 1.  I went to the TSSM revision for psych before the exam and that helped me heaps.  Going to one of their exam revisions on Tuesday 29/9 and another on 18/10 like i did for unit 3.  near the end now!!!!!

Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: bananas on September 29, 2009, 06:04:52 pm
I mean to get over 30 or at least 30
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: teebagger* on September 29, 2009, 10:05:54 pm
What's worrying is that at my school the average for the midyear exam was C or something crap like that. Ugh. The highest was a freaking B.
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: bananas on September 30, 2009, 09:35:40 pm

the good thing about psychology is it's not hard to get back on top of things, just' try and learn all your definitions <-- rote learn it all and then you will be able to get that A:) you have time!

is it possible for me to get over 35 in Psych if i got 86/100 for unit 3 SACs, B+ for mid year, 96/100 for unit 4 SACs, and an A-A+ for end of year (hopefully)

Post by: Caspar on October 23, 2009, 09:07:55 am
Sacs were at 100 100 96 92 80 95.
Exam was mid A+. At mhs, so sorta bad sac marks don't matter at all (Mid year exam average was A+). I'm still sorta worried as to whether or not I can get 48ish~.
Title: Re: SAC Marks so far...
Post by: vexx on October 25, 2009, 12:58:38 pm
does anyone know what i would need on the end year to get 45 as a study score?
i averaged 94% across the entire year of sacs in an average cohort (not sure of rankings, i'm third in my class but there are a few other classes). i got 167/180 on midyear, so yeah, what will i need for a 45?
thanks.

Sorry mate but according to Mao's calculator even with full marks on the end of year, the best you could hope for is 44.

Really depends on your cohort though, if your cohort drags up the SAC marks then you're in luck.
