Can I still get at least 35+ on Methods?

Hi, now that we are getting closer and closer to the exams I have been wondering if it is possible for to get at least a 35 on methods.

So my SAC average so far sits at approx 80%

There is one more SAC which will be an analysis task on probability.

So, considering my marks so far and assuming I do well on my exams as I have been slacking a lot lately is it still possible to get a 35+ raw score?

I am in year 11 and doing two year 12 subjects

Thank you in advance! :)

You'll be fine, just keep it up and stress less. Stress begets low marks.

Hi, now that we are getting closer and closer to the exams I have been wondering if it is possible for to get at least a 35 on methods.

So far these are my SAC scores: 93% on Sac 1 74% on Sac 2 71% on the Application Task and 72% on the Analysis Task.

So my SAC average so far sits at 77.5%

There is one more SAC which will be an analysis task on probability.

So, considering my marks so far and assuming I do well on my exams as I have been slacking a lot lately is it still possible to get a 35+ raw score?

I am in year 11 and doing two year 12 subjects and I am starting to stress a bit :(

Thank you in advance! :)
Don't worry about SAC marks just do your best in exams and you will be find.
Think of it this way, SACS count for 34% of the study score. Exam 2 counts for 33% of the study score. One days exam is worth almost as much as a hole years test. I think if your SACS are hard, then you will definatly be able to get over 35 raw.
Im doing Math Methods in year 11 too :)

Thank you, you've really boosted my confidence :D

But does it matter if my rank is probably somewhere in the middle of my class?

If it's a strong cohort, that shouldn't matter. However, if they're as strong as the average cohort, this does indicate you'll get ~30 for a study score. As I said, just keep up that work, try your best, and you should be fine. At the end of the day, a 30 instead of a 35 shouldn't lock you out of any courses, so don't stress about that.

There were more than that with an A+ average when I did it, second highest score was 38 (which quite a few people got, actually). If you think they're good and they work hard, regardless of how easy the SACs are, you should be fine.
