Title: 2 rankings or 1?
Post by: 99.95 on April 20, 2010, 08:24:31 pm
For exams with 2 mid-years, is the SAC score calculated from one set of rankings

I've never read anything about it. Though logically I say yes; If there are two exams that means there is only one SAC mark, and I can't imagine them using two rankings for the one mark..

sorry for my ignorance but lets say i do really crap in SACS in unit 3 but i ace the mid-year exam and do really well for unit 4 SACS. is it possible to still get top rank? is the SAC score calculated:
                                   unit 3 + unit 4 divide by 2

From my understanding, your rank from unit 3 is seperate to your rank from unit 4.

From the way I've heard my Chem and Physics teachers talk about it, it's a single ranking.

but then the SACs are done internally, whereas the exam is externally? would this change anything?
i mean in the end, if you were rank 1 internally and got the second highest exam, you can still get the highest SS

single ranking based on SACs unit 3 + SACs unit 4 (for sciences and accounting)

so basically whoever finishes on top after unit 3 and 4 SACS will get top rank?
