68 last year would have placed you in the top 10% (for CAS). 36 as a study score means what? About top 20%? Your exam 1 score might bring you down a little bit but it's only worth 22%. I think you'll manage 36.

I would say
exam 1: high A
Exam 2: high A or low A+
sacs: pretty bad ( sorry xD)
so maybe 35-36?

Post by: redmosez on November 09, 2009, 07:58:06 pm
I promised myself i wouldn't do this but what the heck!

Sacs: High A's good-moderate cohort
Exam1: 30/40 worst case ---> 35/40 (best case)
Exam2: 68/80                 ---> 74/80

I know it's a big range between my worst and best case but whenever i look at answers after an exam i freak out, thinking "oh crap did I remember that and that and that?!"

I'm a bit erratic in exams, jumping from question to question.

Any help will be appreciated

ok..well 35/40 would get you a high A for exam 1 and 74/80 would be an A+ so ur looking at maybe like 39? but thats just a guess...

Cheers mate, any idea if worst case will still get me above 35? ie 30/40 exam 1 and 68/80 exam 2?
Title: Re: Study Score Estimates...
Post by: Davoo! on November 09, 2009, 08:43:28 pm
Would I get a 35 for a High B SAC's, High A for exam 1 and High B+ for Exam 2?
Title: Re: Study Score Estimates...
Post by: coonoo on November 09, 2009, 08:50:26 pm
Not sure how you can decide what grades you got on the exams. Hopefully i got 44+.
Title: Re: Study Score Estimates...
Post by: mankay on November 09, 2009, 08:54:36 pm
SAC: top 3 - A+
E1: 39/40
E2: 74-6/80

Aiming (or aimed) for >= 47


Cheers.

Post by: tram on November 09, 2009, 10:13:36 pm
Sacs: high A+
Exam 1: 38/40
Exam 2: 78/80

What do you think i'm looking at? (would like 49)

Any help would be greatly appreciated:)
Title: Re: Study Score Estimates...
Post by: Ilovemathsmeth on November 10, 2009, 12:08:28 am
Tram, not sure exactly. I had 40 on exam 1, 77.5 on exam 2, for a 49. I thought this exam was easier than this year, but I assume cut offs will be similar. Perhaps a 46-48?
Title: Re: Study Score Estimates...
Post by: chops_07 on November 10, 2009, 12:15:39 am
hey what scores do you need in exam 1 and exam 2 to get a raw study score of 33/34 ?
thank you :)
Title: Re: Study Score Estimates...
Post by: Ilovemathsmeth on November 10, 2009, 12:42:35 am
Hmm I reckon about a B+ average on both. So, maybe about 32-34 on exam 1, and a 55-60 on exam 2? Not sure exactly.

'Best case' scenario might get low 40s or high 30s. I know last year you got 43-44 with a loss of 6-7 marks. Your 'worst case' scenario might get low 30s.

Anything 38+ I'd be thrilled with

I was a bit slack with maths this year.

If you average a B+ on both exams you should get around 33.

My calculator malfunctioned in the methods exam 2 and I didn't get granted a derived score :(. With 36/40 and about 60/80 inthe second exam what would I get approximately?
