Predicting Further Mathematics Study Scores

[Sine]

Now that both exams are done and everyone is looking at what sort of study score they may get with their estimated exam scores I thought it might be good to create this thread relating to further maths study scores.

To begin I believe historically to get a study score of 50 you need to full mark both exams or you can drop a maximum of 1 mark (preferably on exam 2). Once you start to lose more than that initial mark you basically lose 1 study score per mark. E.g. losing 5 marks would roughly give a student a 46. This 1 mark loss = 1 study score lost can be thought of as going all the way to a study score of 40. Once you get lower than that there is a lot more leeway and the difference between study scores begins to become many exam marks.

All this above is based on how past years have gone, the past years have been pretty similar so it is highly likely that it will continue to be something similar to this. However, it is not a 100% certainty.

These estimates below also assume the student has sacs that are consistent with their study score (e.g. sacs which would scale to a high A+ if your exam score is indicative of a high 40s/50 study score, sacs which would scale to a low A+ if your exam score is indicative of a low 40s study score, or sacs which would scale to a C+ if their exam scores were consistent of a 30).

If your sacs are likely to overperform or underperform your actual exam score you might want to alter your study score up/down a bit with the amount changed dependent on how different your scaled sacs and exam scores would likely be.

XX SS: Combined exam score across exam 1 and exam 2

50 SS: 99-100/100

49 SS: 98/100

48 SS: 97/100

… (1 mark loss = 1 SS loss)

40 SS: 89/100

35 SS: 77/100

30 SS: 60/100

25 SS: 43/100
