Hoping for about 35-40 :)
I wonder if it'll scale by 12 at 30 this yr too.

For the past two years (2007 & 2008), Chinese SL has been scaled up by 12 if you got 30.  I had a look at the 2006 Scaling Report and apparently it only got scaled up by 11.

Yes, for the past two years it has stayed the same so I'm predicting it should stay the same (or increase if you're lucky).

wow, you must be really good to be a non-background student to go to chinese school. But I have heard that non-background kids will get marked more easily, so don't worry.

Ofcourse it is still possible! I did really bad in one SAC as well, [listening which I only got 5/10 LOL].

Your chances of getting 40+ is still very very high, losing a few marks on a SAC really doesn't matter too much, just do your best for the rest of your SACs :). Remember it is the exam and oral that REALLY counts towards your SS.

my chinese teacher is terrible...yesterday we had our translation/comprehension sac...and he was teaching another class in the same room as us.

yeah i think its weird how white kids get marked easier...but then again not many can actually speak chinese very well. as opposed to aussie-chinese kids who qualify for SL because they've never been to china, but they have chinese parents who speak to them in chinese every day.
