Yeah averaging around an ~A, and depending on how strong your ranking is, you could maybe get away with a B+ on exam.

they are 50% each (entire year sacs are 50%, exam is 50%)

So Unit 3 SACs and Unit 4 SACs are combined? Or do they have a seperate ranking?

well you have a GA1, GA2 and GA3 at the end of the year when you get your grade.
you get a ranking for a GA1 and then GA2 (units 3 and 4 respectively), which are worth 25% each.

So how does that work? Let's say someone got rank 3 for GA1 and rank 1 for GA2 how would that work in calculating the relative exam/SAC scores?

What is the average mark? is it like 5/10? :S
What would three 7/10s give you? At least over 30?

Depends on the difficulty of the exam

Three 7/10's would be most likely around A... the cut-off's are a lot lower than other subjects

Yeah, 7/10 for each essay would get you high 30s if you had an average cohort and solid sac scores.
Title: Re: Study Score
Post by: vexx on July 17, 2010, 05:46:44 pm
^ yep, as usually 8/10 for each essay is around the cutoff for an A+.

Post by: lisafaustina on July 17, 2010, 09:02:03 pm
how exactly does the calculation for the score work?
so they combine all the  SAC marks together and that makes up 50 % of the total study score along with 50% from the exam?
so it doesnt matter if ive done poorly in unit 3 as long as i make up for it in unit 4 right..


and can you bring in a paper dictionary into the exam?
