To get a 50
« on: October 30, 2011, 09:31:49 pm »

Getting A+ in all gradework assessment (i.e. in SACs, exam 1 and exam 2) doesn't guarantee a 50 in further, does it? What mark do you think the minimum RAW score would be? 45 and above - or is that aiming too high?

Please help me out!
Thanks :)

As a general rule, getting A+ in everything guarantees at least a 38 raw.
Don't know how much this applies to further. But if you want a 45, im gonna say have decent SACs and lose 5 marks max. on both exams.

To get 45 you can only lose 5 marks over both exams. In further, 1 mark =  1 study score

Last year my graded assements were A+, A+ and A+ and I was ranked 2 in my cohort (only by 1% though). I ended up with a 45 and know that I didn't drop that many marks in the exams (minus any silly mistakes I don't know of). At the top end of further, for every mark you drop, you drop about a study point until 45ish, then it starts to widen out a bit. Just don't make silly mistakes. Rank 1 ended up with a 44.

Also I had a friend that got A+, A+, A+ and got 41.

I'm wondering the same thing. All I want in further is 40-41 but as far as I know, you need minimum 35/40 and 52/60 to get at least A+ (according to last years grade distributions). Considering the whole 3 A+ = 38 thing, you'd probably need to lose hardly anything on exam 1 and do well on exam 2.

What scores would you be getting if you lost a total of 5 marks in the exams with an average of A, B+,B?
