very weak cohort and screwed sacs...

[Nobby]

Surely if your GAs were like A+ Exam 1, A+ Exam 2, and D+ SACs, VCAA would take a look into it?

[ligands]

same as me ecukcuf, mine is like 150th in the state but our sacs are hard. also the difficulty of the sac doesn't matter, what matters is how you will perform on your exam and if the sacs are easy then there needs to be an intense exam review period (some school may do this) and if all the students perform on the exam with easy sacs compared to a school with hard sacs there wont be any change in the way the grades are distributed

and if there is a huge deviation in your results (sac and exam like nobby pointed out) they will look into your gat result, exam result, sac results and teachers guess to derive a score

Any reason why your teacher dislikes you? My school ranks in the 400 range as well and we have the 26 median SS. None of my teachers are biased though. If you want to do something make sure that you have irrefutable evidence because you have to justify your reason as to why you believe that you are being discriminated against. If you don't the situation could worsen and your teacher could mark you down in a way that you would have no case to argue.

Yeah it would be so sus like some guy blitzing their exams but a big fat D for their sacs

[Starlight]

ok my situation is that...

I screwed up a sac because i stuffed the discussion part of my sac and lost way too many marks than what i think i deserve to have lost... (teacher hates me and always undermarks my prac writeups for tiny mistakes...) helped a girl in my room told her what to exactly write on her writeup yet she ends up scoring much higher than me writing the exact same content for both writeups... fml

and now my sac ranking is like 7/10 but the other kids are super lazy and have not even began revising for the exam... super weak cohort class all but 1 of my friends study scores for 3/4 last year were < 30...

anyway what happens if i get A+ on both exams but sacs were like a high b+ or low A and still under ranked by classmates? but my friends all get D - B on exam? and their sac mark is higher than mine (my teacher hates me) what happens in the GA for sacs?

will it be moderated to higher than theirs? will it be moderated to a+?
or mine will be dragged down even more with the weak cohort? or will it just stay a B+?

is it possible to get over 45 in chem in this situation?

Can you ask someone to cross mark it if you are adamant that they marked you down for the wrong reasons?

My school is ranked like 470 last year. Our accounting sacs were a joke... We had a 'practice sac' straight before we did the real sac.
Our teacher explained and gave us the answers to the practice sac then we did the real sac. The real sac contained exactly the same theory questions as the practice sac the only difference was the numbers for some questions... The sacs were short usually out of about /20. So kids didn't even have to try as they were being spoon fed the answers beforehand. Which was frustrating because if I made a mistake I might not get the highest sac mark. However it did show on exams where the highest score other than me was a C.
Sorry for the rage haha.

You really need to see someone about it. Make sure that your 100% about it because you really don't want to wrongly accuse your teacher.

[Eddiee]

If you're 100% sure that your chem teacher is being biased then I would really talk to somebody about it - just make sure you back up your claim though, as everyone else said.

I know how you feel though, how are people like this allowed to teach? 

[InsaneMcFries]

I find my school is kind of similar, although I'm not getting hammered as hard by SACs, but the SACs my school do produce are rubbish.

Our Methods Application Task worth 40% of our total SACs for the whole year was a teaching SAC where you could talk to everyone and ask the teacher direct questions. EVERYONE got the same answers and it will have totally stuffed SAC ranks in the class if I lose even a single mark. I have to work my ass off in the analysis tasks and the final test now to even have a chance at getting near rank 1. (rank 5 after test 1)

Also, our bio and physics SACs are dead easy and our cohort is quite weak so the people who blitz SACs are already showing signs of bombing the exam. 2 bio students who scored 90%+ on the first two SACs only got 80% on a SAC with past exam questions...At least that gives me a chance to get ahead but honestly...
