SACs were A+ at MHS i'm pretty sure

[Tashi]

Hey, just out of curiosity, my friend got A+ for all GAs on eco and 87.5/90 and ended up with a 44 (the exam score has returned a premier's in the past). Does anyone know why eco was hard to score highly in this year/ know anything about why this could have happened?
The exam median for eco was...?

I know someone got a 50 with 86.5/90. I definitely dropped at least 2 marks... probably more.

his sacs must have been shit

[mr.politiks]

Bit harsh, but that's one way of putting it. he had a really tight teacher so I guess its not always fair.

[Jdog]

in a cohort like economics, which is fair small, sacs matter considerably more than what people think. I was on the receiving end of bad sacs as well.

Eh, MHS doesn't *necessarily* mean anything though; SAC scaling is subject exclusive, after all, and even MHS could have a weak economics department?

It could be worth him getting a statement of study score, though, as it will tell him his numerical SAC marks before and after scaling.

With the SoSS does it give you your mark out of say 100 for SACs?

yeah i'm pretty sure MHS eco isn't great

[Tashi]

44 is pretty harsh with such a high exam score though...

[hala_madrid]

I got all multis correct and overall got 82.5/90. My sacs weren't great, ranked 13 out of about 35 in a strong cohort (number of ss ranging all the way from 40-47, which i guess is great for a relatively niche subject like eco). SACs ended up scaling to 94/100, which i think is the A+ cut off. So i guess, 50% was a low A+, while the other 50% was a medium-high A+, which yielded a study score of 42. Also the A+ cut off was higher than previous years, so looks like sacs have a fair influence

Yep.

Pretty sure thats wrong. We had many 40+ scores including a couple of raw 49-ers. Thats very good in comparison to most eco cohorts imo.

From the people who had their scores publicly posted MHS had 49, 47, 46, 44, 42, 41, 41, 40. I wouldn't say that's a necessarily weak cohort, unless an excessive amount of people study the subject there (which is improbable?)

Should say (based on results thread) congrats to Sickle for her English score and Paulsterio for his whopping mark on the endofyear physics exam!
DUDE Paul: what was the physics cutoff?

Thats not including the year 11s (cos mhs stuffed up the publication permissions) that did eco, whch includes a 50 and a 49 afaik.
