Title: hopes of 25 raw
Post by: ajs13 on November 06, 2018, 06:42:29 pm

if you're ranked in like the bottom 10 of an average school, and you can only get like tops 40% exam 1 and 40% exam 2, is there any chance of a 25 raw or is that all make-believe now?
thanks

I can't speak to where your sac scores will end up since it's dependent on your rank AND cohort performance on the exam.

As for your exam scores last year a  40% on exam 1 would put you around the top 65% and 40% on exam 2 would put you around top 70%.

In addition to this a study score of 25+ are the top 77% of students so I would think you would be getting a study score in and around this given you put up those scores in the actual exam.

EDIT: percentiles extracted from the 2017 grade distrbution
