My take on predicting your own study score

Hey guys,

Instead of trying to accommodate everyone's personal requests for study score predictions, below is what I think you'll need to get for each study score bracket this year. I'm only doing 35+ and up unfortunately:
Note that this is based on my interpretation of how difficult this year's exam is, and so take everything with a grain of salt (which you'd probably have to do with any prediction anyway)
I got these numbers by checking the 2015 distribution and how it affects your end study scores.

For a 35:
80/100 SACs
28/40 Exam 1
50/80 Exam 2

For a 38:
85/100 SACs
31/40 Exam 1
65/80 Exam 2

For a 40:
90/100 SACs
36/40 Exam 1
67/80 Exam 2

For a 43:
95/100 SACs
38/40 Exam 1
72/80 Exam 2

For a 45:
98/100 SACs
39/40 Exam 1
75/80 Exam 2

For a 48:
100/100 SACs
40/40 Exam 1
76/80 Exam 2

For a 50:
100/100 SACs
40/40 Exam 1
79+/80 Exam 2

To adjust, you can swap marks around at the ratio of 5 SAC marks = 0.8 Exam 1 Score = 1 Exam 2 Score

So:
90 SACs + 80/80 Exam 2 is the same as 100 SACs + 78/80 Exam 2

Hope it helps!

Cheers. I think you would need to score higher to get 35 and 38

Thanks for putting this together. It was annoying trying to read exam discussion.

Maybe 35 might be on the low side, but 38 should be fairly accurate!

No worries, I felt like tons of the predictions were very similar :)

Probably 40% both exams should be enough

Is this the raw score or scaled?

HEY Orb

I really dont wanna be a pain but I've been crying my eyes out after that exam today.
I really dont think I'll be able to get that 25 SS. Because I think I only got 30% for exam 2.
Or AROUND 23/80. Could you be honest as you can and tell me if I can get a 25. I think i got average marks for my sacs and exam 1.

And the person before me asked the same thing. But what's worrying me is the grade distributions last year on exam 2.
The bottom 22% (I'm guessing under 25SS) Because 78% of people get 25 or above.....got a grade between UG to D+.
So I'm guessing that I would need to have even a low C to get 25?

Hopefully that wasnt connfusing. I just need an answer bc I feel like I'm going crazy thinking about this.

I don't think you got 25 if you got the same on exam 1

I got 71% SAC (weak cohort) and 26/40 in exam 1 and 50/80 in exam 2 , what SS would that be?? It won't be 35 right?

Also if you could do one for further, I got 90% for SAC(weak cohort) and lost about 6 marks in each exam.

Thanks in advance
