crap- they've increased the total marks for chemistry from 75 to 77... I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing...

So at least 74/77 needed for a 50? Cool. Cool, cool, cool.

Would that be assuming a medium-difficulty exam?

Not quite, it depends on the difficulty of the exam, it may well be that 50% of the state get 74+ so a 74 would only be a 30

You never know with exams, it varies every year, but to estimate, you can drop two marks or so per exam, and get a 50, I think Thushan did, out of memory.

Ah fair enough. Depends on your SAC score too, although I have no idea how that works. If you were ranked number 1-5 and scored 75/77 on the exam, would you SAC score 'scale' to 100?

If you were rank 4 on SACs, it'd depend on how the top 4-5 people (in the exam that is, in your school) go.
