Title: My chances of getting 35+
Post by: Aye Bay Bay on April 22, 2008, 06:03:10 pm: So okay. I've had 3 SACS. For the first 2 I got a C+. I still await my results for the 3rd SAC. But anyways. I currently hold top SAC rank in my class and I think I have a higher SAC mark than the other classes. I've still got one more SAC in unit 3. I know Unit 3 SACS are worth 20% and maybe for some people that might seem little but I still reckon 20% is a lot. I'm getting very concerned. What chances do I have at 35+? What kind of SAC marks and exam marks should i get to get that study score. Is the dream still alive?

Post by: Aye Bay Bay on April 28, 2008, 06:45:23 pm: Do you get a seperate SAC rank for unit 3 and unit 4 or is it one SAC rank for the entire year?
Title: Re: My chances of getting 35+
Post by: Nick on April 28, 2008, 06:49:27 pm: It's one ranking for the entire year. In Further SACs are not classified under the banners of "Unit 3" and "Unit 4". Your SAC marks are converted to a score out of 100 for the entire year.

Post by: RD on April 28, 2008, 09:34:17 pm: sounds like your SACs are incredibly hard...but yes, your on track!

Post by: marbs on May 01, 2008, 08:24:51 pm: If your ranked number one chances are you will get over 35.

At my school we have about 190 students. 15 got A+. I got an A and I am ranked 6th in my class out of about 20.

Will I have to do alot more to get over 35?

Post by: doboman on May 11, 2008, 09:41:34 pm: Anyones got a chance of getting over 35- aim to be in the top 10 students in your class(A+~A) and make sure you do well on the exam. As it has said numerous times before, SAC's do matter, but the exam matters even more. Do your best in sac's, but D-Day(s) is the exam.

Post by: misskaraleah on June 20, 2008, 08:01:30 pm: Does that mean my hopes of getting a 40 in further maths are dead, if i did bad on my first module SAC?
I just missed out on 90% :'(

Does anyone know how much Module SACs contribute to the study score?

Post by: costargh on June 20, 2008, 08:38:59 pm: SACS ARE MEANINGLESS LOL!!!
KILL EXAMS= GOOD STUDY SCORE

SACS ARE ONLY WORTH SOMETHING LIKE 33% SO WHEN U BREAK DOWN INDIVIDUAL SACS THEY ARE ONLY WORTH A FEW PERCENT EACH... AND THEN THESE ARE MODERATED BY THE EXAM MARKS!!!

Title: Re: My chances of getting 35+
Post by: TommyG on August 05, 2008, 05:30:56 pm: im not sure of my rank in the class, but it could possibly be 1, however i think i might be like 10th or something in the school with like a 90% average
if i get an A for my exam, what do u think im looking at, in terms of a raw score

Post by: *Roxxii* on August 07, 2008, 10:59:30 pm: If you can get 100% correct in both exams...
You will most likely get a study score of 50 :D

Sac marks really don't mean that much...it's the ranking which matters.
But if you ACE the exams, u'll be fine!!
Don't dwell on ur mistakes, just move on... and do ur best~!! :)

wat about dropping 1-2 marks on exams? still possible 45+?
Title: Re: My chances of getting 35+
Post by: *Roxxii* on August 07, 2008, 11:07:38 pm: Definitely~!!

A friend who did further with me last year got 48 :)
When we came out of our exams, we compared answers and stuff...
and he found that he had stuffed up at quite a few questions.

I can't remember exactly how many marks he lost, and he didn't get a SOM...
But in total (both exams), i reckon he would have lost at least 4 marks...maybe even more :P
