Title: study score
Post by: c23 on October 29, 2009, 11:18:06 am
i'm just wondering, would i be able to obtain a 40+ study score in pysch
if my sac marks are A+ (lost 4-5 marks whole year)
and i got a B+ for mid years
and planning to get a low-mid A+ for end of year exams?

thankks :)

hmmph. i was wondering the same thing a few months back

SACS HIGH B+
EXAM 1 - HIGH B
EXAM 2 - HIGH A+ will only get a 34-37

so in your circumstances i believe a 39 or 40 is achievable if you get a high A+

don't trust me though. i dont trust myself.

wat kind of marks would i need on the end of year for a ss over 38+  ?

for units 3 and 4 i got around 186-87 ish out of 200 if i recall and an A+ on the midyear (not sure whether it was high, medium or low since i didn't get a statement of marks)

if your B+ was high, then you'd need quite a high A+ to get 40. as you need two low A+'s to get 40 but since you did well in your SACs.

to get 38+? you'd need a mid A, but depending on your A+ it could be mid-low A, or have to be mid-high A.

yeah im kinda the same. i know to get in the 40's or even just a 40 you have to get above A+ for everything.
im sitting on:
sac marks unit 3 - 89/100
exam mark unit 3 - B+
sac marks unit 4 - 88/100
exam mark unit 4 - hoping a B+ again.

would that be low to mid 30's as a study score? cos i know my exam marks will drag down my sac marks :( hate the way vce works!!!!!

yeah i'd say it'd be around mid 30's. but it depends how high your B+ was for the exams

What would I need in this exam to get over 40?

SAC marks: All A+, lost about 7 marks throughout the whole unit.
Mid year: A+

Was your midyear mark low, medium or high? (estimate?). It kind of depends.

Yeah it's possible to get a 40 with A+ A+ A if it is a high A and the other A+s are medium to high

so would 90-93% be considered a low A+?

79/90 was A+ cutoff this year.
so around 87~90% was low A+
then around 93~95% was mid A+

and to get 40, it is just three low A+'s (usually)

Well, that give you 81-83/90. Considering to get an A+ for the midyear you needed a 79, yeah, I would classify 79-82 as low, 83-85 as medium and 86-90 as high (ish). I don't know exactly though... I'm sure some people would disagree.

hmm so i really have a chance of getting 40 in psych then, hopefully my B+ was a high.

You'd need a fairly high A+ (I'm talking losing no more than 1-3 marks here) to get a 40.

even if your B+ was high, you'd need close to perfect (very high A+) to get 40, only if you had a good ranking.
i'd say getting a high A+ with a midyear of high B+, would be more like 38'ish.

To get high is psych is very very hard. I got a+ for everything, high A's mind you, and only landed a dismal (relative to my other subject) 44.

Such a mistake to choose psych, its all just memorizing. I would've found a subject like accounting to be more enjoyable..  :(
