Hi so im new to this whole atarnotes thing so im not too sure if im posting in the right place.
I was just wondering can anyone help me predict my studyscores?
I really want to get 25 in chem. I got c+ for my exam and im pretty sure my sac average is around 62% , so what score do i need for end of year to get 25? Also for methods my average is 65% but i want to try and hopefully get 33 for my exams so what mark do i need for my exams to attain that?
Btw i know math and chem aren't my strengths but please don't judge me and i appreciate your help.
THANKYOU FOLKS :)

C+ is typically the state average for chemistry. So if you get C+ for SACs and end of year exam, you are looking at a study score of about 30.
So aim for a C+/B for your end of year.
Same goes for methods, though there's a bit more competition. Try aiming for B/B+.

If you have a B/B+ (not sure since we havent been told exact marks) SAC mark with a mid ranking
and a high A on mid year exam
Is high 30s or low 40s possible?
-
That depends on your school. If it were Melbourne high, then I would say yes. However chemistry has less waiting on the exam compared to other subjects.
-
oh really? :/
cohort average was B-B+
but no way near MHS standard, so im guessing 40s is out
how come the exam has little weighting? what would be the point of having mid years then? O.o
-
no, compared to other subjects. I think Chemistry, exams count for 2/3rds overall of your mark, where with other subjects like Methods, it counts for 3/4 overall.
