An A+ SACs, A+ Exam 1 and an A in Exam 2 would get you 40 raw :)

Yes it is, but those three would still net you a 40 raw. That is only one example though, A+ (sac), B+ (e1) A+ (e2) would get a 40 too :)

According toa buddy of mine, you can get 70/80 for exam 1 (A+), 126/160 (A) for exam 2, and A+ for sacs to yield a 40 in methods. She didn't finish either exams as well  :o

3 low A+'s usually lead to a 40

Although if you do badly on Exam 1 this is not as bad as SACs or Exam 2.

e.g. A person who receives:

SACs: A+ (low), Exam 1: B+ (high), Exam 2: A+ (mid)

may receive a forty because although they didn't do well in Exam 1, they did well in Exam 2 which has double the weighting.

Try using Mao's GA SCORE ESTIMATOR / STUDY SCORE ESTIMATOR to estimate what grades yield what study score.

They must have just been above the cut-off for A+ in each GA, unlucky to score that low, but it happens.

I got A+ (top of the cohort) in SACs, A in Exam 1 (panicked and didn't do the last page, screwed up several other pages), A+ in Exam 2 -> raw of 40.
