Since when did the number of trials you do equate to study score? It's a stupid question. I've done perhaps around 30 for spesh, but that doesn't mean I'll get 50 because I'm not getting anywhere near full marks on them, and I'll probly never approach that regardless of if I even did 100. People have limitations, and although increasing the number of trials is only going to increase your potential, the benefits are increasingly marginal and people definitely have limits as to what they can achieve; especially in something like maths.

ahh trial exams do not guarantee a 50 or 40 or 30 or 20 but they sure do help increase your chances. There is no answer to how many prac exams needed to obtain a 45 but rather how much can you handle and what would most benefit you, in general?

Use this regression equation to predict your study score based on the amount of exams you complete:   

y(study score)=  0.95 x(exams) + 30.05

However.. you need to remember the correlation of coefficient suggests the relation is not linear and hence, irrelevant.

There's no number of exams that once reached, will guarantee you a 50. I'm less creative in the way of delivering my message, unlike Coblin or jsimmo. :P

The whole MHS exam pack is required in order to recieve a 50. Which is 180 exams.

pft, there's 2 people in class who got >80% for all their sacs with barely finishing the chapter q's recommended

I reckon there' a strong correlation between IQ and maths score
