Chinese (SL) what marks do I need for a 39 raw?

[jourdy]

Just inquiring as to what marks I would need for a 39 raw? I'm guessing top 3 or 4 in SACs with a mid A+ average for Unit 3/4 and A+s in the two end of years?

Unit 3 SACs: A, Unit 4 SACs: A+, Oral/Written exam: A+ yielded a 38 for me last year.

I got A+ for all my SACs (at XJS), but for some reason my U3 SACs scaled down to an A. Make sure the people above you do well, or you find that you get screwed over.

The people above me are the fluent Chinese speakers, who go to Chinese school and will be of course advantaged. I'm thinking I will either be top non-Chinese student or maybe even squeeze into the group of Chinese students at the top, seeing as my marks are around 98% average for this year. Do you think say a 95% average in SACs across the year coupled with a low-mid A+ in the end of year exams will get me around 38-39?

If you can pull off an A+ in the exam it's possible. But remember the competition in Chinese is insanely high and there are still many fluent native speakers that get in the low-mid 30s.

Generally for 38 and above you just need over two A+s and one A.
