Studyy Score Predictions

[Dominatorrr]

My SAC marks this year have been 100%, 97%, 100% and 90%, what study score could I expect to get if I think I can get full marks on both exams?

Plus, what room for error would I have (how many marks could I drop over both exams, if any) to still have a chance of getting 45+, if that's still even possible with the marks I've already dropped in sacs?

[some dude]

your actual sac marks don t matter its your rank only. well im assuming your ranked high so your looking at a definate 50 if you get full marks. and prob 38+/40, 57+/60 for a 45+.

[Dominatorrr]

Well I'm quite sure there are 1 or 2 people above me in terms of SAC marks, is that still counted as a high ranking? Those exam scores sound good.

[some dude]

depends, are those people relatively of the same strength as you. i would only worry if you think they will do significantly worse on the exam than you. if not, then yeah pretty high ranking

[Dominatorrr]

I'm pretty sure the ones above me will ace the exams. Not saying at all that this is the case but does having a really bad cohort where you're ranked 1st bring you down?

[jasoN-]

^ nope, if you're rank 1 with very good sac marks and ace the exam, you get a 50, even in a weak cohort

[Dominatorrr]

Sounds good. I see you got a 50 for further jasoN, how did you manage not making any silly stupid mistakes that cost you a mark or two in the exams, any advice?

[jasoN-]

I guess you just have to be confident with what you do.
Thorough checking of your answers may help, but if you check too hard for too long, you may end up changing a correct answer to an incorrect answer (this happened to me for one of the MCQ on the exam).
Being competent and making sure you understand what's being asked is very important.
Answering the question properly may be difficult for some due to the inability to comprehend the question (for example I remember in the '10 exam 2 a question in the core asks for the error (i.e. difference) as an answer and consequently many people failed to recognise this.
Make good use of your calculator to check answers which you've done by hand.
But most of all, be calm. As we know the further course itself may not be tricky, but reducing silly mistakes may be extremely hard.
It's a combination of competency and luck (to a lesser extent!) in this exam, and I wish you all the best
Good luck.

As a side note, usually your first answer is correct, if you're unsure whether you should change it or not (as in on the fence for two answers), I suggest the latter

Is it possible to be rank 3 to get a 50 with a sac score of 98/100 ? If you get 100% on both exams.
Rank 1 is on 99/100
