if 96% was rank one, i think you would have yourself something around 48

none in exam 2 is craaaazy, I'd say you'd get pretty close to (if not) 50.

First two exams were likely to only be worth 3.6% each, don't get too excited. In my classroom about 3 students got 100% on both tests, I got 90% and 88% and I didn't even do year 11 methods.

You're talking about sacs, this guys talking about the real deal at the end of the year

Oh my. This is way better than my performance in this subject and I did it in Year 11.

Ohh now it makes sense. I just mean that getting 96% on the first few SACS doesn't mean much. But yeah only dropping 5 marks on both end of year exams is pretty intense, and will probably give a >40 study score

I think you'd get a 49 or 50. I lost 2.5 marks on exam 2, which counts more towards the study score, none on exam 1 with a 97% on SACs. I think you'd look at a score around there because a loss of 3 marks on exam 1 would possibly count less than a loss of 2.5 on exam 1. But I'm confused, if you're expecting full marks on exam 2, why not on exam 1?

Then again a 96% on the first few SACs doesn't mean a lot; need to be consistent.
