Aren't these prediction posts more relevant in the study score prediction thread?

If i averaged around 64% for SACs (Hard SACs) and got 28-30 out of 40 for Exam 1 and around 50-60 for exam 2, what study scores would i be looking at (hopefully between 22-28)

Yes. Please everyone stop posting your scores here. It's for the study score prediction thread, this is for discussing the exam and I'm concerned that the incessant chatter about scores is driving people away from the discussion.

22-28? 30/40 and a 60/80 will easily net a 35-37

No, exam 2 is out of 80.

In total, both exams add up to 120.

I made an account just to vent and create an outlet for my mental anguish post-Methods

I need a study score of 25 or above for ALL the courses I want to do which I thought was going to be achievable until... today. I found exam 1 hard and am expecting ~15/40, found exam 2 more accessible but the difficulty of the MC questions messed up my positive mindset so I wouldn't be surprised if I bombed that as well. Might I add that I just found out my calc was in degrees THE WHOLE TIME? YEAH. Marks for the entire bridge question? Gone. I feel sick while typing this. I'm expecting ~40/80 at best.

Is there any hope for me to get a score of raw 25 or above? I'm currently ranked average in a very strong cohort (sucks to be dragging all my mates scores down but that's the price I have to pay for being forced to do a subject I detest as a prereq  ). My school's SACs do get scaled up but I guess there's a slim chance of moderation saving my grades considering I bombed both exams.

I'm sorry for being so whiny in this post, it's just that I just have no one else to talk to about this because I'm so ashamed if I'm being quite frank.

You would get around a 29 raw, and yes, this exam's mcq questions were brutal

No, exam 2 is out of 80.

In total, both exams add up to 120.

Exam 1 is out of 40 and Exam 2 is out of 80. For each exam, two assessors marks it and add up their scores; thus it being out of 80 for p 1 and 120 for p 2

What study score do you think i would get if i got 25/40 for Exam 1 and 42/80 for exam 2

exam 2 is out of 120 (60 before doubling) in further, not methods

The multi choice was honestly a breeze up to about Q18, honestly you just needed good algebra skills to do well. I don't really get what people mean when they say it was unconventional questions. I would've thought maths was maths and it didn't have its own style o.0

You've gotta be kidding. Stop with the SS predictions. vox nihili literally just said to...

[dream chaser]
