So this is my theory, feel free to debate.
 - A+ range is roughly ~10 marks per exam.
 - A+ guarantees you ~38+ depending on how high
 - There is roughly a 4 mark buffer for 50

Hence, if there are 16 marks from 38-49, then you can allocate roughly 0.5 - 1 marks per SS.

These are by no way VCAA supported facts, but it may help with your predictions?

I reiterate though, this is my theory, feel free to debate.

I got bored and calculated Thushan's rank in the midyears. Top 4.5% in Physics and top 3.5% in Chemistry. Obviously this isn't accurate only an estimate, or maybe not even an estimate since my concept could be all wrong LOL! *EDIT: Don't worry these percentages are definetely wrong. No way 3.5% of chem students lost 2 marks!

Anyways that 4 mark buffer for 50 is not really correct. My friend lost more than 4 marks in his midyear for Chemistry and he got 50. For other subjects it is even more strange, like my friend in Methods lost 3 marks in both exams combined and got 48 (her SACs were also super high and since she goes MacRob she has a strong cohort and it would've bumped it up)

Really want to find out more about how VCAA works their statistics. Unfortunately we can't get the standard deviation and mean for the seperate calculation for study score. It seems like the standard deviation is 7 and mean is 30 for all subjects but actually every subject is different. I know that Methods usually has a standard deviation of 29.5 and mean of 7.5 but this changes every year.

The number of marks you can lose would be dependent upon the difficulty of the exam

If you lose 3 marks on an exam, and that year you were the highest mark, even though you lost 3 marks, you'll get a 50

If you lose 2 marks, but a lot of people lost only 1 or 2 marks, you might end up with a 48, even though you lost less marks

I asked the same question with my 64/72 and a few people had doubts but said that if I only dropped about 1-2marks on the end of year exam I might stand a chance :S
