Title: Legal Sac Marks and exam
Post by: Tobyy on November 11, 2009, 08:17:18 pm
Hey guys, i actually really liked legal studies but the exam was a little tricky, and i made a few stupid mistakes.

Ive averaged 97% in the first semester and 100% in the second, what mark would I have to get to lose my my dream study score of 40-44.

I think i might have lost 10 or 11 marks, and i really want a good mark for legal.

Thanks a lot for your help :) appreciate it :)

Funnily enough I got the exact same marks as you! And think I would have lost about the same on the exam, so I would like to know the answer to this too lol.

Hey  guys.
Although its such a vague and naive way of calculating what you got, i have been attempting to predict my study score for both further maths and legal studies. And i hope that you will be able to :)

Knowing that the study score is out of fifty and the exam makes up 50% of that then we can say SACS make up the other 25 marks. So if you calculate your sac score as a decimal multiplied by 25 and add it to your predicted exam score as a decimal multiplied by 25 then its a very rough estimate.
For example, i got 98% for SAC results right, so   that is equal to .98 * 25 thats 24.5/25 for the SACs +
I think i lost roughly 10 marks max on the exam so thats (50/60) multiply by 25.   equals 21

Therefore without consideration of state average and school performance my study score would be 21 + 24 = 45.

Hope it helps. I KNOW ITS VAGUE BUT ITS THE BEST THERE IS

haha vce2009, what a coincidence lol

thanks for that prediction calculation, makes me feel better anyway lmao

but if u averaged 98 nd u got a half mark (24.5/25), arent half marks rounded up?

so in reality, a person who got this marks would have got a 46? or am in another world lmao :)

okay, well if I lost, say, 12-14 marks, would it make getting a 40 impossible???

I just really want a 40 in legal, please say yes lol

thanks heaps, appreciate it :)
