So, if you rank second in SACS, and the person who is ranked first gets a very high exam score and you get a perfect or near perfect exam score, then it is very possible to get a 50. This isn't really the norm though.

can second this, did actually happen. obviously, first or even second ranked student (you being third) would also have to get high/similar scores. if you do better on the exam however, and are ranked high in the class (with similar sac marks), you will get a higher study score

bec:
so what happens if you have a teacher who marks everyone very highly? one of my teachers told us that the average mark for our last sac was ~90%. with such a high average, you'd assume that a lot of people "share" a rank - so what does that mean for the class's final scores at the end of the year?

Mao:
depends on your exam score

MHS, for example, has a very high average, but it doesnt get moderated down as the entire cohort gets good exam marks.

my school's bio last year, which had a B~A average last year, got a cohort with crappy scores, and those Bs and As wend down to Ds and Cs

SACs basically place you in a ranking, what you SAC scores really are are the ranking exam scores

if that made sense :P

elaine:
What happens if you do well in SACS and OK on the exam, but other people in your class do really crap on the exam- does that mean you get pulled down as well?

I think if two people are given the same ranking they each get the lower moderated SAC mark. This is why my chemistry teacher refused to give two people the same ranking.
