what can I expect for psychology?

[james-nguyen]

I've been getting High A+'s for my SACs this semester with a couple of 100%. I got an A in the mid-year psych exam and averaged A+s - A's in first semester. What study score would I be looking at if i achieved another A or A+ in the end of year exam?

[ben_sebastian4]

Hopefully high 30's maybe even low 40's dependent on your end of year exam and subsequent SAC scaling. Hope that's what it is cause' i'm in the same situation

[james-nguyen]

Thanks heaps, I'm trying my hardest to get in the 40's for psych. If I do, it'd make life so much easier

[nemolala]

@ben are you sure? only in the thirties, why would that be?

[james-nguyen]

Maybe a raw of low 40's but scaling may bring it down to high 30's? What do you think is the estimated scaling for psychology this year for the new study design?

[nemolala]

If anything please just remain the same..i hope.. if it goes up then of course that would just be the cherry on top

I've averaged a B all year in sacs, and pulled a B in the mid year exam.
If I can do a B in the second exam on Monday, would I be looking at mid-low 30's?

@ben are you sure? only in the thirties, why would that be?

Well i could be wrong but my guess is the study score would be in the range approx.
I mean i did biology last year, for got A's on both Mid year and End of year exams and my SAC's were a medium to high A+ and i ended up with a 39 Raw.
So my guess is that you generally need at least two A+ to crack into the 40's

My friend got 41 with a B+ and A+ in accounting.

You CAN get 40+ with a single A+, but it has to be damn high

I've been getting C's all year in SAC's, my teachers a really hard marker so no one in the class gets much over a B and most are C's. But I got an A+ in the exam, if i get another A+ those C's should be brought up shouldn't they? My teacher told me her classes sacs went up last year so im thinking im in the running for 40's?

[playsimme]

That's fairly unusual ^ Because usually, sacs for psych are really easy.. you must get really hard ones right, judgin by your midyear?

[dh1993]

yeah :S she makes them pretty hard, like she'll pick out bits of the course that people over look, and she also marks really hard too so yeah. But I got A+ in the exam so I guess it trained me to be better for VCAA assessment I just hope our sac marks will go up like they did last year for her class

[Anon123]

Well you got A+ on the mid-year, so regardless you can certainly get 40+
If everyone did poorly on the SACs, but performed well on the exam, then they will definitely go up, a lot.

[james_blues]

can i get around 34 with

SACS: HIGH B+
UNIT 3: EXAM:B+
UNIT 4 EXAM:B+-A

[dh1993]

^ yeah id say you can get at least 34 with that, well especially if u get an A in the exam.
