Title: Will i get at least 36 with this???
Post by: fredbasset on October 31, 2008, 06:13:03 pm
I did well in all  my Sacs for the year ; my marks were B+, A, A+, A+, A+
and today in the exam, i wrote 3pages for language analysis and same for imaginative landscape context. Both i felt i did really well and should get hopefully 7-8/10 depending on the examiner,
BUTTTTT for my text response ( in the lake of the woods) we got two f****n shit questions which i never did a practice essay for and they were really hard. I did 1 page for TR which was OK and had some good explanations

My question is, do u think with my good Sac marks can i achieve at least a 36 SS for english????

Also, i forgot to tick what question i did in the TR on the orange book cover but wrote the question in the booklet, do u think this will matter?

Glad to see someone's aiming for my English score. :)

I got:

GA1: A
GA2: A+
GA3: B+

My internal SAC scores consisted of an A+ oral (in first semester), and lots of Bs and Cs. Gotta love MHS SAC moderation.

not really, they would probably still write the same quality essay as other people in other schools, except their teacher would mark them a lot hasher...

shinjitsuzx [iirc] never received an A+ this year, even though he is extraordinarily pwn at the subject.

Is ~19/30 and an average mark of B+ to A for units 3 and 4 going to get me 33?

Pleeeease say yes.

Wow really? I was actually really happy with all of my essays except for Context, which I had to rush because I left it till the end (2 pgs of blabber). I've got the same SAC marks, I'd be stoked with anything 35+ :)

Title: Re: Will i get at least 36 with this???
Post by: iciz04 on November 01, 2008, 02:04:56 pm
so 30 is my highest possible score? so that is not possible for me to get a study score of above 30?

it's possible to get above 30, though the chances won't be too high.

predicting study scores are usually useless, as the estimates can be far from what the actual result is [the data change year to year depending on the cohort as well as the level of difficulty of the exam]

Post by: chlloe on November 01, 2008, 03:44:28 pm
I hope i can still pull a 40. Its probably unlikely now though.

I should get A+ A+ and then maybe an A in the exam. Depends on the exam really. If i supprise myself I could possibly scape an A+, but thats unlikely. I rekon Im looking at 22-25/30 For the exam (Last year a 23.5 was an a+)

Depends on how everyone else goes. If everyone aced the exam then it wouldn't go down much or at all, unless someone can correct me on that.

Post by: ausyid on November 02, 2008, 05:05:19 pm
Do you reckon I can get 40 with this:

Sac scores of B+, B+, A, B, C+ in what I would say is a very strong cohort.

And I wrote three fairly good essays on the exam. Thinking an average of 8 for each (could get 7-9 for any of them I think)

What do people think?

Unfortunatly I doubt it.

Unless you completely ace the exam.

From what I have heard I will struggle to get a 40, with mostly A+ and a few A's.

Apparently a A+ A A was a 38 or 39 last year?
Title: Re: Will i get at least 36 with this???
Post by: xox.happy1.xox on November 02, 2008, 09:59:31 pm
But it depends how high your A's are. A know someone with A+, A, A and they got 44. I guess anything can happen.

I hope I get 89% for the exam (like all my SAC's (89/100 :P). That would be so cool... But I stuffed up the context piece so goodbye 40+ :(.

No. Shinjistuzx does not have Marotous as an Eng. teacher. Instead, he has a female, new, Brit Eng teacher that fails to give any asians in her class A+. Mayb that explains why. Those in the marotous class however, B+s are rare, let alone A.

As for Eng study scores, 36 is equivalent to a mid B+, knowing that B+ is 19.5-21 /30 in the 2007 exam. 36 should be achievable provided 21+ is obtained

I'm sitting on a very high A+ for SACs----> Maybe 96/100? I desperately want over 45 but I stuffed up the exam. What SS would I get if I got like, 23ish out of 30?
Title: Re: Will i get at least 36 with this???
Post by: iciz04 on November 05, 2008, 07:31:51 pm
Let get a overall look:
A, A, C+ ---> study score???
A, A, B ----> study score???
A, A, B+ ---> study score???

Please discuss about this and help me to get a better prediction. :D

i think i did fairly well at the exam
4 pages for everything

Lol, this is like me. Except I'm ranked much lower. :( I also did quite atrocious in the exam.)

I believe you are well set for a possible 40. Hopefully you get it, then the VN average can go up. :P

haha, thanks.

my specialties are in economics and legal... english is sort of one of those things i cruised through year 7-11 and then realised it was important in year 12.

my mum is a writer and got the equivalent of a 50 in english... so i have a bit to live up to.

My school had a median study score of 22-23 last year and 1% over 40. I doubt we will get any scores over 40 this year, especially considering our dux didn't get any scores of 40 or over (she got 93.50).

IMAGINE IF U ACTUALLY STUDIED 4 UR OTHER SUBJECTS!!


She jst laughed and was like 'Yeah...'

...Oh, the back story 2 that... we studied 4 English 2gether @ my house 4 a couple of days b4 the exam, but I don't think she studied 4 any of her other subjects.
She ended up with an ENTER of 70-something I think... XD

Hmm... no... I think there is a breaking point.

I personally know a girl who pushed herself over her breaking point a couple of months b4 exams.
She was set 2 get an ENTER somewhere in league with mine, but ended up with 80-something.

I don't think my 44 ENTER friend over-studied tho.

That happened to many people at my school as well. I thought the dux was destined for a 98 ENTER, but ended up getting 93.50. Balance is definitely the key to doing well in the VCE. :) (Not studying to the point of exhaustion.)

Unit 4 - 91/100 --> 85/100 (ouch!)

You shouldn't think too much about your school marks that are given. Moderation makes your marks fairer and more representative of your real mark.

Did you get both a statement of exam marks and a statement of study score for english chloe?
Title: Re: Will i get at least 36 with this???
Post by: chlloe on January 01, 2009, 09:00:36 am
I got both for all my subjects :)

i was so happy with my exam marks.

I got..

Text response - 1984 (I thought i did a good essay!) - 9,9 - 18/20
Context - Imaginative Landscape (wasnt the best ive done, dragged it out a bit) - 8,8 - 16/20
Analysis (seriously thought it was shit!) - 8,8 - 16/20

My total was 50/60 (the A+ range was >47/60)


Did you get a statement? You would have aced the exam with your great score!
