Title: Ok, a SS Prediction..
Post by: bomb on October 30, 2010, 11:02:03 am
SAC Rank: #1
Exam 1: 83/90
Exam 2: 85/90

What would I get?  :)

Perhaps 44ish?

It's often very hard to suss out in Psychology due to the huge number of students each year that do it,
but last year I had A for exam 1, and A+ for exam 2, and rank like 15#ish in a cohort of like 150 and I got 36. In fact the guy in my class with rank like 3 in our school who was our class' most committed had A+ for both exams and near perfect sacs and got 41. I hope you kick ass with those scores, but that's just my history in the subject with SS if that helps!

hmm. Considering the cut off for the mid year was 76.5/90  I'd say those scores are more like a 46?

If the end of year has a similar cut off you'd be looking at 46 probably maybe even 47 if you're very lucky.

But psych is so competitive so that might be a bit off. But I'd stick by that.

Good luck.

Does ranking matter that much in terms of getting a high score? How about if you're ranked around 5-10 with low A on SAC's, mid a+ on midyear and high a+ on end of year?

Hmm your score would be like 1-2 points lower I'd assume, given the same grades as bomb. If you got full marks on the end of year you could possibly get 48-49 I think... Don't quote me on that though haha.

Yeah getting full marks seems to do funny things to scores, just never know what will happen if you get that
