Accuracy of Mao's estimator?

Hey there,

Does anyone know how accurate Mao's study score estimator is? I don't doubt it at all just find it weird that it says I need 38% ish on the exam to get a study score of 25+ in English Language.

My Sac scores for English Language are 64/100 for Unit 3 and 66/100 for Unit 4

Does this seem right to you guys?

Thanks in advance

pretty damn accurate
i had a range of 39 - 44 (got 39)
some dude with 1 mark less than me on the exam got 43 (i put assume sac rank 1, but i turned out to be like 4 or something)
it's based on statistics from the previous year

T get a 25, you would probably need to average C's all round. So go onto the link nacho posted and just find it there. I think its ~45% for EL

this calculator is saying that with those SAC scores and getting a HIGH D in the exam (37%) I am able to get 25 - 26.. this just doesn't seem correct.. I know it's an estimate and all but seriously? barely passing nets me a 25 study score?!

A 25 is incredibly easy to get if you pass (a D is a pass)
