Title: Methods SAC Questions
Post by: cutieface4 on March 21, 2011, 05:17:04 pm
my first methods unit 3 sac on fuctions was really difficult . i could only do  SOME of the questions. I didnt study enough. If  I STUDY hard for the rest of the year starting and manage to get at leat 90% on the rest of my sacs can i still get a 48/50 score?  :-X ??? :'( :'(

Yes of course you can, just make sure that you work very hard to get a high ranking in the cohort i.e. do really well in your upcoming sacs. And smash the exams.

you can,
just know that a 48 is an insanely hard score, and realise that 43---scales-->46.8 and 48---scales-->49.2

so a difference of only 2.4!

i highly doubt that a 43 would scale up to a 46.8 for bio

I am going to go against the flow and say that your current result, and the approach you intend to take (getting 90%) will not yield a 48/50 score

That's not to say you CANT get a 48, but you would want to be getting 95+% for most of your tests/exams (depending on what your cohort is like)

I hate bio so much... Unlike methods:
you can,
just know that a 48 is an insanely hard score, and realise that 43---scales-->46.8 and 48---scales-->49.2
Thats my preferred scaling


btw, I'm sure, as taiga said, that if you can maintain high 90%-ish results from now one, a 48 is still on the table
