Title: Can anyone predict if I can get at least 30 study score?
Post by: Rose34 on October 17, 2021, 12:06:43 pm
Hi everyone,

I want to get at least 30 in the methods exam but not too sure if I can achieve that, my SAC scores have not been great eventhough I genuinely want to do really well.  I have been doing exam practice with the hope that I will imporve, and I am seeing improvments but not by much. Bellow are my SAC scores and the 'best' scores I have been getting for the trail exams as well as the school trial exams. Can anyone please tell me if I have the chance of getting at least 30 study score?

SAC scores:
SAC2: 48%
SAC3:51%

Trial exams:
2016 VCAA Exam 2: 45/80=56%
2014 VCAA Exam 1: 15/40= 37%
2019 VCAA Exam 1: 18/40=45%
2019 VCAA Exam 2: 32/80=40%

School trial exams:
Exam1: 18/40=45%
Exam2: 45/80=56%

Thanks in advance.

Also, can you say what I should be getting for both exams to get at least 30?

Hi Rose34!

Good to know that you are trying really hard! Before we can predict anything, can you tell us your score for SAC 1?

Ok, so with a SAC average of 46% and taking your best exam results, you may be able to get roughly a 25 raw (scaled to 28). This highly depends on your ranking and overall strength of your cohort, though, but it seems your exam scores are similar to your SAC scores, so they probably won’t be scaled by much.

In order to achieve a raw 30, you should be aiming for at least a 65%+ in Exam 1 and 70%+ in Exam 2, or 70%+ in both. I say that if you keep practising, you can get there! Just try your best and make the most of the time we have left!
