I'm in the same situation! Someone answer :P I want to know too :)

Btw, here's a (retarded) question. If you get C+ for both midyear and end of the year. won't you get a 30 raw? I know it's wrong.. . but how come? I thought about it. isn't C+ the mean score? and isn't 30 ss the mean score? It's probs a silly question but I'd still like to know the answer (with explanation :P)

well a ood score is about in the 30's. preferably high thirties and it scales up anyway so maybe above 35?

Let's pretend:

Mid year = C+
End of year = C+
SACs = average-ish marks

^ a typical all round average person

Study Score = 30?  :o would you say 30?

Opinions? If the above is true it would actually make me feel better :)

Yes, its important to keep working hard and don't get too down by it. It is also equally important to be realistic and by that I mean re-evaluating your top 4 priorities and making strategic changes, that is if it's necessary. I simply cannot stress the importance of having a clear perspective of your top four strengths, unless you are aiming for the elite 99s and above.

Best of luck to all of you!
