Study Score Prediction Question Thread

[Tadd12345]

Yo this is going to sound like a weird request. But I just got my statement of marks, what study scores correlate to getting a 74/80 in exam 1 and a 116/120 in exam 2 for FURTHER MATHS. Thank you. I believe I may have received an incorrect study score

Low SAC marks after scaling could cause your study score to be lower than expected. You should get a statement of study score and check your scaled SAC marks.

So what does study score do those marks correlate to? I lost 3 marks in exam 1 (hence 74/80) and got 116/120 in exam 2. I did get a statement of marks. That is how I know my exam results, what would my study score? Just curious

Assuming this is further maths probably 45 if rank 1(or equivalent).
If you are a lower rank it can impact your score negatively.

Hypotheticaly....
Biology
Rank: 4/10
Unit 3: 75%
Unit 4: 90%
Exam: 90%
What would my ss be?

I don't want to overstep my mark as I never did Bio, but based on the standard deviations and numbers observed from their distribution reports, I'd say that would be around the 38-41 raw range. The high exam score should cover you, and assuming your classmates do roughly the same.

What kind of marks are required to have a chance at a 48+ ss for English, Further, Legal, Bio and Psych?
Is it at that point about being rank 1 and acing the exam? or so your sac marks play a bigger part than ranking in the top percentiles

For english, the following should net you a 48.
SAC - 100%
Exam - 54-55
(100% SAC + 52/60 scored me a 46, 100% SAC + 53/60 scored a friend 47)

For biology, the following should net you a 49-50
SAC - 100%
Exam: 110/120

If you have a strong cohort, then being rank one becomes less relevant. e.g. I was probably only around rank 10 in english but my SACs scaled to 100%. For other subjects, you can just use the grading distribution as a reference for grade cutoffs. here

What does it look like for SACS and exam to net a 42-44 in English?

What does it look like for SACS and exam to net a 42-44 in English?

Not last year but I know of those who have got
100% sacs + 50/60 for a 45
99%-99.5% sacs + 50/60 for a 44

In english sacs matter a lot. So really good sacs (close to 100) + a low A+ (48/60) have resulted in 42s in the past. You can try to extrapolate from that.

Hey everyone I recently just got 81 on my 3/4 bio SAC1 and I was wondering have I lost my chance to get 45+ as a study score?

No, your raw score has minimal insignificance your rank is much more important.

Plus it is really early in the year so even if the 81 is a low rank you can make thr difference up by doing well on the rest of your sacs

[TheEagle]

Hey Sine

for English, is the rank of more significance or your overall score?

Not Sine, but English is 50% SACs and 50% exam. Both rank and exam score are equally important. However, your SAC score will be scaled up/down based on your exam score. If you mean 'overall' score as in SAC score averages: VCAA uses your rank to help with the moderation of your SAC marks. Basically, try your best to rank high if you are aiming for high scores, as SACs are an important component of VCE English (or any other subject).

Thanks! For instance I average 70% overall, and I'm ranked 1 in my cohort, does VCAA consider that I averaged 70%?
