When you'll do probability in methods you'll be able to calculate that yourself (kind of)

question to you:
How are you able to accelerate english?

I don't know, I guess you'd have to be really good at English to get accelerated.

From the VCAA: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/faqs/vcecurrentstudents.html#H3N100A9

Quote
The maximum study score is 50. Each year, and for every study, the mean study score is set at 30. A score of between 23 and 37 shows that you are in the middle range of students; a score of more than 38 indicates that you are in the top 15%.

For studies with large enrolments (1,000 or more):
2% of students will get a score on or above 45
9% of students will get a score on or above 40
26% of students will get a score on or above 35
53% of students will get a score on or above 30
78% of students will get a score on or above 25
93% of students will get a score on or above 20.

Going by hearsay, those values are rounded off a bit, but it's around that nonetheless.

Continuing the off-topic discussion:
Also I'm guessing you're in one of those SEALP classes, judging by the number of VCE subjects you're planning to undertake.

He might be referring to scaled 50+ I guess

This topic has also gone quite off-topic too
