Study Scores

[VCEstress]

Just wondering to get a study score of 50 do you have to get a 100% in all your SACs?
Thanks

Not necessarily 100% on ALL sacs.. it's more your rank that counts (E.g Aim for Rank 1)
Just ace the exam and you'll be fine I'm sure

[VCEstress]

So if Im ranked around 3rd at the moment but I manage to pull myself upto first by next term and ace my exam would it be possible? Or is it just high 40s?

[IndefatigableLover]

I wouldn't say it's impossible as there is a chance on getting a 50 but it's pretty unlikely.. (due to other factors such as how people perform on the exam and if cohort is strong or not etc.) but acing the exam will greatly increase your chances

It really also depends on how strong your cohort is. Some schools consistently have a couple of students getting study scores of 50. Some schools never have students getting above 45.

If you're in a relatively strong cohort, are ranked in the top few, maintain or improve your SAC ranking for the rest of the year and smash the exam, you've got a chance at a 50.

If you put in the effort now, there's nothing stopping you from topping the state!

Yea hopefully! Do you think I should just write essays to improve, or do you know any other possible ways?

Well, I developed a very sound understanding of all of my texts in the summer holidays before year 12 so I jumped straight into writing essays and this has worked well for me.

I started getting my pieces marked by my teacher and cross-marked by another teacher at my school who is an English exam assessor for VCAA.

I started off getting 7-8 but I've slowly improved and am getting 9-10 consistently.

This method has worked for me, maybe it will for you too

Feel free to shoot me a message at any time if you ever need any help and I'll do my best to help out when I have time.

You won't have to get 100% for SACs, but basically 100% on the exam, I think I know someone who got 57/60 for the exam, with 100 for both U3 and U4 SACs and got 49

Wow... That's really weird! I was under the impression that the cut-off for a 50 was 57/60 for the exam. Did their SAC marks stay at 100/100 or did they scale down? That's the only logical explanation I can think of.

So basically... the only way to get a 50 in English is to get a 58-60/60 in the exam and rank 1 in SACs?

No, they got lower than 100 initially, but both units scaled up to 100, I know that for a fact because my scaled scores were 98/100 for U3 and 100/100 for U4 and this guy beat me on both units, so logically he would have gotten 100 and 100 (or 99 and 100, but you know, that's negligible).

He got his statement of exam marks, and he got 57/60.
