Title: Methods Study Score
Post by: basketger on August 21, 2015, 10:50:30 pm

Hi guys,

I know for methods the marks are separated into 3 parts, sacs, exam 1 and exam 2. The sac mark is out of 100, exam 1 is out of 80 and exam 2 out of 160, totalling 340. Does anyone know what kind of mark out of 340 you have to achieve to get a SS of 45+?
Thanks

Sacs aren't out of 100 in the overall mark, it's 33% sacs, 22% exam 1 and 44% exam 2. For a 40, you need a reasonable rank,  37+/40 and probably 70+/80 to be safe

Hi, I was wondering a similar thing, but what sort of sac ranks are needed? I have a rank of top 10 across a cohort of about 60 students..

A+ for GA1 which is Unit 3 + Unit 4, which is 94/100. If you do not have that don't worry, the exam is key, you sac marks go up or down depending on your cohort and your mark in the exam.

Thank you so much! My sac marks aren't very good, probably averaging about 73.. hoping to do a lot better on the exam though and maybe try getting my rank up a little more in the next couple of sacs left to maybe a 5/6. Thank you so much for your help :)
