Projected Study Scores

Hey guys,
I am a unbit unsure about the Study scores im looking at and i was hoping to get some feedback as to what study scores i would be looking at with these marks.
i have tried the SS Estimator, however, they seem a tad exaggerated for my liking.

English Language
SAC: B (High)
Exam:B(High)

Accounting
SAC: A+ (High)
Exam: B+(Low) , B+(low)

Economics
SAC: A (High)
Exam: High B+

Mathematical Methods CAS
SAC: Low A+
Exam: A (Low) A(Low)

Specialist Mathematics
SAC: C (Low)
Exam: C (Low)(Exam1)  D+(High)(Exam 2)

Thanks a lot guys, just trying to gauge how harder i need to work!

A bit of advice, you shouldn't try to predict your study scores or even your graded scores for sacs. Sacs will change. This is because some sacs are easier than the exam and some are harder so they standardise this. What you should be doing is do some practice exams, get them marked or self mark and then use those to predict what study score you'll get. Basically your sac mark will get changed to something very similar to your exam mark. The only reason to try in sacs is to get that top ranking. The higher your sac ranking, the higher your grade will be and thus study score

Thanks for your input

The thing is, im dont even have the slightest idea about what mark would place myself into a particular range for the SS, particulary English Language.

Few things

a) We can't predict your score without knowing how well your school does. A B+ at a top school could yield a raw 38 while a B+ at a poor school might yield a raw 30.
b) The exam is everything. I know someone who got B+ for his English SACs, put an incredible amount of effort into his exam preparation, and cracked a 46 where otherwise he would have gotten 35-8. The guy who got a 50 in English last year his teacher thought would get ~39.
c) Your SACs will (not can, but quite simply will) be scaled up or down based on your exam result. The primary significance of your SAC results is to identify where you must direct attention with your exam study. SACs are mere 'padding', and not the foundation for a score.

If you want to predict your study scores, ask your teachers what they think. They know how well your school does and thus how someone of your grades there will fair roughly. Their prediction will be based on your marks, which are based on how relatively well you were doing at the time of those SACs. Neglecting or focusing on those subjects' exams will greatly alter your result.
