What study score would I get if I got 36/40 for exam 1 and 55/60 for exam 2 and averaged 90% on my sacs??
Around 47-49??

90% on your sacs doesn't mean anything, its just what you were ranked in your cohort. but with those exam results probably 38-43

Hey,
I'm ranked 1st in school with a 100% SAC Average.
If i get,
39/40 Exam 1
60/60 Exam 2

What study score am i looking at? Is a 50 guaranteed or is there a chance i don't get a 50?

Not a guaranteed 50
I was rank 1
Exam 1: 80/80
Exam 2: 119/120
And that was a 49 in 2015

[KokKang]

95 or 96 /100 for sacs
39/40 for exam 1
59/60 for exam 2
what score am i looking at

[pippinpie]

If my SAC average is 100%, rank one and I full marked exam 1 but dropped 2 marks on exam 2, is a study score above 45 still possible?

[tylqui]

If I was ranked 2-3, dropping around 3 marks on the first exam and 1 on the second, what sort of study score would I be looking at? Cheers.

to get a raw study score higher then 40, what should exam 1 and 2 be out of?

For the question about the water levels and the time it was open i said:
8.00am to 6.00pm (Not Inclusive)

i added the extra information in the bracket because it said it be open when over 1.5m, i'm just wondering whether this extra information will cost me a mark??

I think that matrix question in which L was required was wrong, they stated that the product of the matrix L and the given matrix will give the total cost of rolls and sandwiches over the 3 weeks, but instead it gives the total cost of all 3 food items over weeks 2 and 3?

Am I right?

Yes, I think so too.  I wonder if the VCAA would pick their mistake and credit the students accordingly.

No I thought it was wrong too, but the 915ish number (can't remember) was the total of just rolls and sandwiches over the three weeks. The matrix they were looking for was [0 1 1] I believe.

[Kendog]

if i lost 2 marks in total what study score am i looking at

Please check the question Q1cii Matrices again.  I still feel it is wrong. Because the total of just rolls and sandwiches over the three weeks adds upto 965.40 (604.20 for the sandwiches and 361.20 for the rolls)

[Mamba]

Anyone got the solutions for modules 3 and 4? They have been posted but some seem questionable.

[Hannah Peart]

Study score estimate if dropped 1 mark all year, 40/40 on exam one and 56/60 on exam 2?

Yup it is wrong. In cii, if you think about what each row represents, they're totals for weeks 1, 2 and 3. Rows 2 and 3 represent the total earnings for weeks 2 and 3 for all Rolls, Sandwiches AND Pies

[Mattjbr2]

Error in the exam. Matrices Q1cii

See the attachment. Clearly, rows 1,2 and 3 represent the total earnings for weeks 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Hence the sum of rows 2 and 3 in Q1cii represent the total earnings for weeks 2 and 3, NOT the total earnings for Rolls and Sandwiches for all 3 weeks.
