Getting a Study Score of 10-15

I'm serious here.

How easy is it to get a study score of 10-15? Although it seems pathetic, I really am not best friends with Maths even though I got decent scores this year:

Matrices: 60%  C- D?
Core: 88%   B+
Trig: 70%     C+
Business Maths: 65% C?

I'm expecting to ace the multiple choice section but that's all. The short answer section is giving me a big headache.

What would I be looking at?

I'm really over with this Maths stuff and would rather concentrate on the subjects I'm good at.

You still have ample time to work and increase your study score. So go do that!

You will end up getting around 30, you're pulling off C+'s!

Work on understanding the concepts. However don't spend all your time studying for the exam since you can bring in a bound reference. In this scenario, you are better off spending more time on other subjects.

Pretty hard.

You will have to do the following:
-Not study
-Go worse than you have been going on your sacs
-Ideally fall asleep in the second half of your exams
-Perhaps cheat so you can be penalized

lol dude never in my post did i even alude that i think its for the "elite". i think you need to read more carefully. i just said that people should ask for help to do their best. in my opinion it sounded as if the  OP was looking for an excuse to achieve below his ability by the way he said "sounds pathetic". just my opinion...

Basically, they are saying that you are underestimating yourself. You're looking at a score of around 25-32. To get a 10-15 you would have to do extremely badly. Given you got marks on your SACs, i think the only way you could get a 10 is to get 0/40 and 0/60. Getting a 10 is like getting a 50, but the other way round.

Well maybe I'm underestimating my ability. I guess you people are right. Went over the Material today and it kind of came back to me. I'll do the best I can in the Exam and will stay to the end.

Yeah, C+ is average, and the average study score is 30. So if you pull straight C+'s, you should get around 30...

That's being where C+ is usually around 50% on the exams. With your scores so far you should be able to pull that.
