It is possible that you could get a 40, but you'd need a very strong performance on your SACs and end of year exam.




percentage wise, how much do you mean by "strong" for sacs?

The range for A+ in the 2009 exam was 158-180. That means that those who got exams got on the average scores of 2 markers 79 - 100%. If you really want a score >40 though, you'd have to aim at the upper end of those scores.

A+ is actually 87% to 100% (158/180 = 87%), just to clear that up.

And definitely aim at the upper end of this range if you would like a 40 study score. :)

I have to tend to disagree with you. I have clearly spoken this over with my teacher.
I think like 11-12% of students get a study score of 40+ for each subject. For this exam 9% of the students got an A+ or above.

So even if you get 2 Low A+s, and good SAC marks, you will definately get 40.
Getting 45 and above then entails getting High A+s.

I think if your two A's were very high (almost an A+) and you got top SAC marks you could definately get close to 40. But 40+ wouldn't be possible unless you got Two A+s I would say.,

Top 9% get 40+ (Source), and I know people with A+ for all 3 GAs who received raw study scores of 38.
A A+ A+ is usually falls between 36 & 40 though, depending on the raw marks.

I also know of an A A A+ 40  :P But that is definitely the exception as opposed to the rule.

I know a girl who got B+ for midyears and got a 40 at the end of the year. A low A+ should be able to get you above 40 for Psych. I had a high A+ on end of years, a mid-high A+ on end of years and got 50.

I reckon definitely with two mid A+s you can get above 45.

I think she may have got a high A+ or mid one on the unit 4 paper.

Thanks guys :)
