I got the clear top SAC rank in a fairly average school and a low A+ in the exam for PE - that got me a 43. So that's what I am basing my assumptions off mostly, that and some common sense. Seeing that our A+ cutoff was fairly low again, I'm guessing you can lose about 6ish I suppose, but yeah it would be good to get a few people that received about 50 and see what they scored in their exams.

Mavisgibbons said she lost 12 mark across both exams and got a 50. I assume she got that from her statement of marks..

[stonecold]

but I spoke to someone who got a 49, and they said they lost 6.5 marks on exam 1, and got full marks on exam 2.

this is confusing!

[lexitu]

Yep there's a start But we would have to look at A+ cutoffs, her SAC marks even...
Btw when did you order your statements? I ordered Tuesday and I'm still waiting

[stonecold]

this was also last year, so the same year as mavisgibbons did Bio.  it makes no sense.

i ordered mine like 4 weeks ago haha.  hopefully yours will come on monday.

Damn. Was it in 2009 also? If so, it was probably sac marks/cohort performance that made the difference i guess.

yeah, last year.  i wish they made public the required marks for particular study scores each year.

Haha, that would have been the more logical thing to do It better come Monday.

Hmm, interesting. Yes, either SAC marks, or perhaps mavisgibbons surpassed the threshold for a 50. E.g. if you got 100% on both exams you'll get a 50 but so will someone that got 90% on both exams.

Yeah, that would be awesome, but as I understand it they could only do this for rank 1 in the cohort.

*edit - and even then they'd need to be able to accurately predict the state's exam performance (if they were to let us know our required marks that is).

if i got a high A and all my SAC marks have been the highest/ alongside one other girl, at a quite good school, what should i be aiming for in unit 4 exam to get a ss of greater than 40?

I ordered my statement on Tuesday (fax) and received it on Friday, check your mailbox ;]

hi, i don't think its possible that the person, in question who got 68.5 and 75 got a 49 unless their sac marks were quite ordinary. I go to a pretty strong school in Scotch and ive been told that the person who got a 50 last year got 63.5 in eexam 1 73.5 in exam 2 and 190/200  RAW in sacs which probably MODERATED to 198/199 out of 200. THe next highest score was a 47, with 68.5 in exam 1 61.5 in exam 2 and 196 RAW in sacs probably moderated to 200. A teacher, who is an assesor told me that its better to smash an exam , and perhaps do poorly in another than do "alright" in both. All of this statistical moderation stuff, i guess.

One more question, what would you guys think would be a high A+ on this years bio, above 66-67?

[lexitu]

barcode - If you keep going at this pace you should be on a 40+

crayola - I ordered by post so that might explain it

Jdog - yeah it would have to be around that

[lexitu]

Got my SoM today and ended up getting 60. Not too happy with it but I can't be stuffed being unhappy so

[crayolé]

I was disappointed with mine too, I was all excited with my A+ only to find it was pretty much the lowest A+ possible :L
