I'll be brutally honest. C+ for mid years,    to get a 40 or above (raw score) is "impossible."

But 35 (raw). There is a chance :). SO WORK AT IT!

Is 36 (raw) pushing it? haha yeah. if I get 35 it'll scale up to 40 :D

btw, a question for my friend. She got D+ (like the original poster of this thread). Is it possible, given that everything else goes right, that she'll get a 35? maybe 32? she's aiming for above 30 :)

that's what I thought too!! but I hear some people got A for midyear and end of the year and only ended up with LOW 40s? That's the only thing that's making it depressing for me :/ I just want over 35 for chem. raw. you think it's possible yeah? AHH I hope so :(

this is the thing, if you look at the distributions (available on vcaa website)
youll see that the range for an A+ is HUGEEEE compared to everything else
thats why theres not such a grand diff between say an A and a B
but hmm, with a C+, a 35 is DEFS possible, work at it!
but even if not, you'll get a 30-ish if you get another C+ or B

thanks :) you made me more confident, if only a little :P

Am going to send out for the SoM. Got an A+ for mid year Exam 1, and school first semester report for chem was A+, but not sure if final SACs would be A+.

last year, one of my friends, who was very good in accounting, was sick on the day of his unit 3 exam, with the flu
he aced all of his sacs before (ranked like 3rd in his school)
he managed to get a low C (which i assume is close enough to a high D+)
he then went on to ace the end of year exam, in which he got a high A+ (nearly full marks)
he got 38 - scaled to 40

so i guess it is possible? - but i did say that it was unlikely

and i did say that a 32-ish score would be more reasonable

sorry for the false-ish info guys (:


Nah it's not possible, cause accounting didn't scale up by more than 1 last year..
