Further Maths getting 45+

[ziaxadon]

Hey guys I have recently completed two further SACS for the core data analysis parts and have only lost mark so far. Today I completed the financial and recursion SAC and I feel like I have messed up a 3 mark question. Will this in anyway jeopardize my chances of getting a 50 or even a 45+?

Will almost certainly not jeopardise that goal, particularly considering your exams are worth 66%.

If you got 40/40 on Exam 1, only lost a couple of marks on Exam 2, and lost these few SAC marks, you'd still be guaranteed high 40s.

How much of a role does your sac rank play when determining your final study score?

don't do further, but just purely from the 'how it works' standpoint: if you're ranked second, you end up with the second best exam score as your sac score. if you're ranked first, you get the best exam score as your sac score. come first in sacs and exam and smash the exam and your result won't depend on anyone else (aside from the whole fact that it'll be judged against the further scores of the state haha). so, if you're second your result is a little more dependant on how well everyone else does – not a ridiculous amount, though! it's not imperative to be first so no worries if you're not, but it's definitely nice (:

Why shouldn't I do further (because I do)... I am worried

Worth about 33% of your final study score. Your SAC rank may as well just be "your SACs", because it's the only thing relevant to finding out your SAC mark.

Patricia was saying that SHE didn't do Further. She wasn't telling you not to do Further . She was just explaining how SAC rank impacts study scores.
