Rankings

[ilhan91]

Hey guys,

Hypothetically if i am ranked second in business and the guy that is ranked first stuffs up on the exam and i go well, is there a possibility that i can beat him?

As in study score, yes definitely.
But the guy ranked first will receive a higher moderated SAC score.

'higher moderated SAC score'


what does this mean?

[m@tty]

The marks you receive in SAC's has only one purpose, the ranking of people in your school. Then based on your schools exam results they(VCAA/VTAC forget which one) will moderate your SAC scores, to ensure fairness while letting schools organise their own SACs. Moderation basically involves taking the exam score corresponding to an individuals SAC ranking, this then becomes their moderated SAC score.
Example:
The person ranked first in SACs will receive the highest exam score as their moderated SAC score.

So if you are ranked higher than someone in SACs, your moderated SAC mark should be higher than theirs.

He'll get higher I think.
If something as small as 3 marks puts you from an average rank to the top, there would be no point to sacs imo.

i must sound stupid but i seriously dont get this...

if im ranked first, with and average of A+ in sacs, but in the exam i get a B+

and someone else in my class who averages a B+ for sacs, in the exam they get an A+

do i get their A+ mark?

3 marks is pretty big if it seperates you from a A & a A+

I'm ranked 3rd in my school with an average of 93... is it still possible to get high 40s to 50?

I don't think 50. My teacher has told me though that I can still get 45 or above as long as I nail the exam. Btw, I'm second in my cohort having lost 7 marks in Unit 3 and 0 in Unit 4. I'm pretty sure you could still get above 45 if you only lose 3 - 4 marks in the exam.

Don't be discouraged about SAC marks, it is your exam marks that influence your SACs.

50 is possible as long as you smash the exam!

[mypurpleundercracka]

ive dropped four marks the entire year for sacs and im ranked first, just gona hope i can smash the exam which i feel pretty confident about, lost 1 mark on freakin trial exam for mentioning 3 management skills instead of 2 is that bs or wat?
