Enough to not be scaled below 30 :p (33). I've not done anything for the subject all year, was a really bad idea doing it: should have done something harder I would have tried in.

i r teh confused

Based on last year, the .95 percentile for exam 2 was only ~104/120 (mean 61.3 lol), but the .95 percentile also represents a raw study score of ~41.5 (based on 30mean/7sd), is it really so easy to score highly in further? Or is the system jibbed =\?

there is ample opportunity to score highly, just make sure you know your stuff, do a few VCAA past exams, and read the questions carefully (twice even).

40ish. Ranked top 3 in school, getting closish to full marks on practise exams (although I think I'll slip up a little on the exam).

Good luck :)
Just try not to make silly mistakes (because they're the only mistakes you can make in further lol)... you can avoid these by reading the questions carefully, making sure your calculator settings are right... remember if you get stuck you have your notes :)

Oh btw if you dont mind me asking what kind of marks did you get on SACs and the exam for business management? I'm just curious as to what i can get for bus man :)

I'd be disapointed with anything under 45.

Ranked number 1 at school. But still managing to make silly mistakes.

Sat the 2006 VCAA analysis today - 59/60 :(

Yeah no problem. I got Unit 3 SACs - A, Unit 4 SACs - A and Exam B+... was disappointed with the exam mainly because I messed up a question on POLC (put something completely different)... probably cost me an A.
