How hard to get 35+ and how to study for it?

[98.40_for_sure]

Well just as an example, ill use chemistry.
Our internal SAC score/rank is not only dependent on the test SAC things... but she averages out EVERYTHING including in class work, prac writeups as well...
So even though i've got 100% on most of my test SAC's, my ranking is not even top 5 because she hates me and marks all my pracs to like 50%, thus my average is horrible...

I know where you're coming from 99.95. I'm ranked top 2 in further but I know I have no chance of getting a good SS because the rest of my cohort are a bunch of dropkicks, they all get less than 10% on every sac. In chem our average mid-year marks were like a C and my teacher was congratulating us, wtf? Same story goes for methods. I'll be lucky to get above an 83..

[werdna]

Well rubiks you should be fine... you're ranked high enough I guess.

[rubiks]

Yeah, but I HAVE to get A+ on both exams in further to have any chance of getting a good SS. One mistake and I'm finished. And in saying that, a 40 in further which would be A+ for the exams is equivalent to a 33 in chemistry and a 31/32 in methods. Is there really any point in even studying for it?

yes, do heaps of practice exam, if you are ranked high in your school than you already have some knowledge. getting 40+ is definitely obtainable its pretty much 90% across both exams combined, sound achievable? if yes, think about only lose a few marks and than 45+ is in range.

Did not read the 3 pages but here we go anyway.

I got a 39 last year, with pretty shitty B-B+ averages in SACs. On my exam I had 19/20, 17/20, and 13/20 (voxi, eat a dick). So yeah, if you do well on the exam there's still hope.

^ that gives me hope.
My average is about a B+, i hope i smash it.
Did you think you actually deserved a 19 and 17/20? Or was it a surprise to you?
and also, did you have a strong cohort? because thats a decent score for a pretty crappy avg.

I think the marks I got in the exam I deserved. I did my text response on AMFAS, by the time of the exam I had read the book about 10-15 times (most of those in the 2 weeks before the exam). I'm positive that that's why I did so well in that section. To be honest the 17 was a bit of a surprise. The prompt we had for I&B was similar to one I did 2 weeks before, so I churned out that essay. However I had to change some things and got a bit muddled up so the overall quality wasn't that strong.

My cohort wasn't that great, from memory there might of been no more then 4 people who scored over 40.

thats sick as, alright thanks

the message here is 'study hard and you will be rewarded'

it would have gone down max to 38, but considering she knows her results and what not you would assume that it is scaled.

Jesus... you read AMFAS 10-15 times?! i've only read it properly once and the exam is in 4 days! shit

No idea lol.
The teachers at my school are so used to the kids trying so hard to get over 30...
when i asked how hard it is to get 40+ in methods, she was like OH NO WAY, ITS TOO HARD

Lol my methods teacher said that to me as well... although it was in response to getting over 30

Ok so if I got around 7-8 for text response and language analysis and about 5-6 for context response and averaged out about B+ in my SACs what can I expect to get?
