Title: What do I need for a 30?
Post by: Visionz on July 15, 2010, 07:32:10 pm
Hey guys. I got a decent score on my first core sac, I got an A. Next sac, trig module, I got the lowest pass mark so I think thats an E. Thats what happens when you completely neglect something. Just wondering if I can still get 25+ even 30+ to satisfy prereqs. Im not stupid im just completely focusing on my top 4.

If I managed A and B on the next two module SACs and got B in both exams would I get 30?

30 is just a C+/B average across exams&sacs (after moderation).
you could be pretty confident that a B in both exams will ensure 30+

Yep, getting a B average is around 30~32, it's not hard at all

Sweet. I might just continue my further bludge and cram in the month before the exam. Or maybe ill just do my maths work in maths class rather than the work for my other subjects.

Thats what ive been like for the last 6 months but I just bombed out on the last sac because I did 1/10th of the module in class and nothing out of class. I think I will get closer to 100% on the matrices sac as its piss and then probably A on networks.

Core: 80%
Geo and Trig: 40%
Matrices: 90%
Networks: 80%
Exams: 70% over the 2.

thats a 30 right?

Id rather devote time to my other subjects. Plus getting 40+ when youve fucked up a SAC seems a bit of a pipe dream. I can still get 40s in my other subjects though.

Not really one SAC means absolutely nothing... especially in further when it wasnt the CORE

of course its easy for some, others will struggle to even get in the 30's, i know a few people who wont even get a 30 as it's too difficult for them.
some people really struggle with math, and i among others who are good at maths, can never understand it.
so 40 is easy for some, impossible for others.

I was planning on further being outside my top 4 since the start of the year so the difference between getting a 30 and a 39 would add .9 to my aggregate. For the extra hours Id need to devote to further itd be far from worth it. I can use those hours going from a 40 to a 41 on my other subjects.

I agree.

is it possible to still get a good mark in further (30+) if you loose 20 SAC marks????

Nothing's out of the question. What grades did you get for them?
Kick ass at the end of year, and you'll get over 30 for sure.

hey guys
core sac: 95%
geo&trig sac: 55%
number patterns:44%

if i actually study for the next sac and get around 70-80%, what do i need on the exams for a study score of about 32-34?

Getting 70% for both exams would give u ~33 SS.
Getting 80% for both exams would give u ~36 SS
The difference between getting 70% on that last sac to 100% is roughly 1 study score (if any)
that said, if u get the average score on the exams, your study score would be ~31-32
