What Study Scores Am I Probably Looking At?

[lorcan_raven]

hi everyone.
i'm very new to this, so i'm just going to throw it out there and see how it goes.
since the start of this year (year 12) my whole perception of my vce subjects and their predicted scores has been turned on it's head - i'm really unsure how i'm faring with most of my subjects, and want to know how i would go with certain assumed scores/grades? what study scores would i be looking at with these marks?

ENGLISH
- All 4 Sacs so far 100%
- Exam (A+)

JAPANESE (SL)
- Sac Marks (A, B+, B)
- Exam (B?)

METHODS (CAS)
- Sac Marks (C+, D+)
- Exam I (B)
- Exam II (B+)

FURTHER MATHS
- Sac Marks (A+, C+, A+)
- Exam I (A+)
- Exam II (A+)

THEATRE STUDIES
- Sac Marks (A+, A+, A+)
- Monologue (A)
- Exam (A)

PSYCHOLOGY
(last year = 36)

Any responses much appreciated! I have high hopes for VCE, but not sure (in terms of courses and such) was it a realistic idea for study scores that would add to my ENTER/ATAR!

THANKYOU!

Hmm..very rough estimates:

English: High 40s.
Japanese SL: Mid-High 30s.
Methods: High 20s - Low 30s.
Further Maths: Low-40s (dunno how much the C+ would affect it..)
Theatre Studies: Low-mid 40s.

^ If he gets two A's for the theatre assessment it is very unlikely that he will be getting low 40's for theatre, so not sure where you got that. I'd say high 30s at most if you got both A's.

And depending on the English exam grade, it'd be more ~42+, no guaranteed high 40s/

Jap closer to low 30's, methods being low 30's and further being 40+

really that low for theatre if both exams were A?
i'm rank 1 in the class, with a perfect score for my folios.
i'm hoping for A+ in monologue/exam but i'm just trying to think about more moderate marks to see how things would turn out.
for english i am between ranks 1 and 3 in a year level of 240 kids... and we had 6 perfect study scores by last years english standard - so maybe higher than 42?
anyway thanks for the responses!

According to last year's data and assuming you maintain those sac marks for unit 4, this is what I got (not 100% accurate and before scale)

English : 45-48
Methods : 31-32 (if you get C+ average for SACs)
Further: 41-43
Japanese (SL): 29-32
Theatre Studies: 39-40
Psychology: 36

And for the hell of it, the estimated ATAR (according to http://atarcalc.com/) would be roughly 94.10-96.85

Good luck on your studies!

well then higher for english then, yes.
but two A's in major assessments won't likely get you above 40, aim A+ and 40+ is possible.

eng: 43+
jap: ~35
methods: ~30
further: 41+ (it's all on the exam)
theater: 36-42

hope it helps

Whats the weighting for Japanese (SL)? There's unit 3 and 4 as well as the exam however it looks like the exam is weighted much more (over 50%) so my estimation from before looks wrong

Okay, so instead of starting a whole new "Predict my study scores" thread, I'm just going to go here:

English:
SACs: A+ (ranked first in my year, not a brilliant cohort, but I do have a fair bit of competition)
Exam: A+

Legal:
SACs: All A+ so far, ranked around fourth with a very strong top five
Exam: A

Lit:
SACs: High B+ to high A
Exam: B - B+

Psych:
SACs: High A to high A+
Midyear: A
End-of-year: A+

Health:
SACs:A+ (ranked second)
Exam: A+

Depending on how high or low (Eg low A+, high A+ etc) your grades are (leans more to Medium to High marks), predicted SS from last years data approximates to:
English: 43~50  
Legal: 41~45
Lit: 39~44
Psych: 39~44
Health: 43~50

Estimated ATAR is around 94.20~99.30 but it could be more or less

I disagree with legal. Probably more around 38-40 with a high A on the exam. Your SAC's would be dragged down to low A+'s or even an A depending on the level of A you get on the exam. (< too many A's in one sentence)

Exam: A+

All are raw scores and just my best guesses

Eng: 43+??? if you go exceptionally well on the exam mabys higher

Legal: ~39

Lit: ~34

Psych: ~41

Health: 43+

EDIT: just realised that my predictions don't really give you any more that hasn't alredy been said >.<
