I'm sorry mate, i haven't exactly got a certificate of authentication stating my teacher is the exec. examiner of english and that she has spent a good yr telling me and my class these secrets into how English works. I simply came on this board to give hope to all those people fretting they couldn't a 50 without the top score for their sacs. But of course you all know so much about how english exam scoring and study score allocation works, so evidently i'm wrong when i have an authority as a source. I'll leave it at that for now, and leave you to wallow in your ignorance xoxox

No need for that tone mate

The use of the sarcastic tone coupled with the ironic words "but of course you know..." aims to highlight to the reader the idiocy of Bazza16. :p

^ ulbasaur has got no idea. Those marking the exam will not be privy to SAC marks and will not say "i'll give this guy a 50 cos his LA is pretty decent." The examiners determine a mark, and this is paired with SAC marks to produce an SS (a lot of this talk has been ASSUMING close to full Sacs)

No idea eh..
Is your teacher the executive examiner of English? I'm sorry mate but your arguments are based on gut instinct, mine is based from the 2nd highest authority in relation to VCE english.  Around 25th nov the chief and executive examiners gather together to rank the top end because markwise they are literally the same. They don't look at Sacs unless there is huge descrepencies including their GAT (i.e. the failed the GAT and have D's for their SACS) but just because you only got an A for your Sacs, you won't be disadvantaged from getting a 50. You don't need the top mark. PLease if someone wants to argue, put some authority and proof to what you say.

Even if your teacher is the 2nd highest authority to vce english i still find this hard to believe and disagree with you. However don't flame me as I am aware that I have no authority to back this up.
For example lets say two people got the same exam score (lets say 59/60) and lets say person A got 200/200 and person B got 160/200 for their sacs. According to your claim that they don't look at your sacs so the examiners may prefer person B's exam context response compared to person A so person B is given 50 and person A is given 48, wouldn't this be unfair? (as person A has higher sac marks)
For English 50% of your study score is calculated from your coursework so your sac marks would definitely play a role in who gets 50. Examiners can't just decide who gets a 50 based on who's essay they prefer, sac marks most definitely has to play a part.

ulbasaur, how do explain the person Jane used as an example?

[totaled]

sac marks definately play a huge role in what happens
slumdawg's exam score and sac scores are an excellent example of this.
often many people in "not so strong" schools are often let down by their low sac scores (as their sacs do not scale as well as 'stronger" schools)
