Title: 40+ in spech
Post by: fredrick on October 26, 2008, 12:20:03 am: hi, how many marks can you lose in exam 1 and exam 2 to achieve a study score of 40+, given that your first ranked in your cohort? Also if possible same question but for a study score of 45+.

Cheers

Post by: chid on October 26, 2008, 01:23:42 am: I remember Coblin saying that he lost 6 marks over both exams and achieved a study score of 45 raw.

Not sure about 40 though-maybe 11-12 marks lost over both.

I stuffed up the 2nd exam completely (C+ ftw ...that was so bad) and still got above 40 when scaled.

what did you get in SACs and exam 1 and what raw score did you get out of curiosity?

Post by: riadnicolas on October 26, 2008, 06:40:43 pm: does any one else have past experiences were they've lost a particular amount of marks and still got a 40?

Post by: trinon on October 28, 2008, 02:47:05 am: Oh wow I can lose 11-12 marks? That's great for me. I'm looking for 40 raw in spec. So far my sacs haven't been amazing (I can't remember tbh, but I know the last few were A+). I've done about 32 practice exams and I get about 90% on exam 1 and about 75-85% on exam 1. It always ends up being exam 2 tho where I lose the marks.

Same question as first post but with methods?

Methods is a lot more competitive, so i would assume that you could lose even less marks on the exams...but thats just an assumption :)

Wasn't that Methods exam last year a killer? XD

I laughed when all the Yr 12s told me bout it, coz I'd had a much easier ride of it in '06.

But yes, Methods is less bout testing ur knowledge, and more bout testing ur attention 2 the little things that can cost u marks and lower ur score.
Further is even more extreme than that, as I understand it.
