Title: What is the average mark for a 45+ SS ?
Post by: schoolstudent115 on August 01, 2020, 11:15:51 pm
Like what would say 94 in GA1, 97 in GA2 and 97 in GA3 get you (rough range)? Assume an average cohort.
What sort of scores for a 45 raw?

97? in GA3 that is definitely an ambition, but certainly a high A+ in GA3 will push you to a higher study score, but often the difference between a 48, 49 and 50 is negligible and often comes to luck.
Rather than worrying about your class rank and predicted grades, just focus on your studies and try your best!
No point trying to figure out "what you need to get" as it is not certain what that mark is
All the best

Yea I got 92% on my first sac, 100% on my second (class average was about 55%), 90% which I’m kind of annoyed at because it was a really stupid mistake which cost me 7%. (Class average 50-55%), the 2nd sac was considered as hard as the vcaa exam, the 3rd probably harder.
I’ll just be careful on my next sacs and my goal is not to drop below 95% average on unit 4.

You have a high average and defs in the top percentile in your cohort, so a 45 is reasonable you will need to score relatively high in the final exam.
This can be achieved if your prioritise your revision and begin exam preparation early, rather than spending time and effort predicting what you mark you will need for a certain study score, which cannot be guaranteed.
