Score Data Interpretation
« on: February 12, 2018, 10:49:24 pm »

Hello,
Could someone please tell me the average grades (percentages—not letters) from the respective exams, based on this data?  http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/statistics/2016/section3/vce_specialist_mathematics_ga16.pdf

In addition, ignoring SAC rankings and such, would these averages correlate to a 30 SS?

Thanks

averages (mean) is located in the summary statistics table on the left hand side of each page.

Getting the "average" score won't necessarily get you the 30 but getting the median score will. You can calculate the median by counting up to 50% from either the A+ or UG sides of the table.

For the year you have linked the median for e1 was around 51/80 (25.5/40) and the median for e2 was around 93/160 (46.5/80)

EDIT: getting the median score for all the graded assesments would give you a overall study score slightly higher than median since not everyone who gets top 50% on one assesment get's top 50% on all three.
