Statement of Marks/Study Score Thread 2013

[chasej]

Got my statement of marks and achieved 60/60 on the English exam (I got a 50 study score)! What are my chances of getting a Premier's award given that I did not achieve full marks on SACs?

It's sort of a lottery involving GAT results and stuff for the English premiers. Were you rank 1? If so your SACS should have been scaled to full marks as well, meaning if you alright in the GAT writing section you're in with a pretty good chance.

I've got my statement of marks back for legal. How can you tell what sac scores scaled to? Where does it tell you?

The Statement of Marks shows you the marks you received for every question.

If you want to see your scaled SAC score, you need to get a Statement of Study Score which goes through how your SS was calculated.

Sorry, I meant I got my statement of study score. I actually got both

On the study score statement there should be the words "Yours scores in x and the associated calculations are as follows" towards the bottom of the page.

Under that you see Courework Unit 3, Coursework unit 4 and the examination (for most subject). For SACs you can see it lists a school score (i.e. the raw score), and a final score i.e. the scaled score.

Oh ok, thanks!! I think I was just confused coz the scores stayed the same... It was 100 and 100 for ga1 and ga2, but I expected it to go down because I was in a weakish cohort. Maybe it's a ranking thing? I dunno.

Dumb question, but what do the standardised score and weighting X standardises score columns mean? Can't make sense of any of it..

You must have been rank 1 and full marked the exam? congrats.

don't know about any of the standardised score things unfortunately.

Thanks Yes, was rank 1 but unfortunately didn't full mark the exam. Still happy tho

Study scores and graded assessments with large enrollments have results which usually follow a bell curve.

Most students will score in the middle (that's why it's highest there), some students will score very high (to the right end of the bell curve) and some students will score very low (to the left of the bell curve).

You receive a standardised score for each graded assessment task of your VCE subject.

where x is your result.

A standardised score of 0 means that your result was exactly the average of all scores. A standardised score of 1 means that your result was higher than approximately 84% of the state (if I can still do further lol).

You'll get 3 standardised scores for each GA, which will then be weighted then totalled to get your final weighted score, which will then be used to give you a study score.

Hopefully that quick explanation makes sense.

Wow yeah!!! Thanks for that, I've been enlightened   
It makes so much more sense now, I didn't know how everything fit together before but what you said makes it so much easier to understand  thanks heaps!!!

Btw +1 if I could!!!
