Title: Study score help?
Post by: shinymeowstic on September 08, 2014, 09:35:01 am
Psychology isn't a priority for me - I want to focus more on Maths and Vis Comm, but I still would like to go well. I was wondering what you guys would think my study score would be?

Currently, I've gotten 80-90+% on all of my psychology sacs, usually ranking in the top 5ish, generally, I come 2nd or 3rd. I'm nervous about the exam but I think I should be able to do decently on it.
Do you have any tips for the exam? Any particularly tricky parts of it I should be aware of? Thanks so much!

My teacher said that if you want a 40+ you need 84% or over on your SACs, so by the way you are going you are looking at high 30's or even low 40's however the exam is the decider. Check the bell curve on VCAA but if remember right for an A you need a minimum of 80% on the exam :) so you are looking at B or A's

high 30s would be fine for me!! I can work with that :3 It's not a high priority -- I just want to do well!

I had a similar scenario and received a little lower than that. Just be cautious and practise well for your exam to guarantee that it goes as you want it. :)

Also, a reminder that you want to balance your subjects rather than not focusing on Psych.
