so about how many people get 37+raw for chem and bio
and 45+ for further?

and is it possible for me to get that mark if my average for sacs are 75~80%?
and for further it's 90%

[m@tty]

37 raw is top ~18% of cohort.

45 raw is top 2% of cohort.

Yes.

[nonstop9328]

so it's still possible to get those marks even if my average is around 75%~80%?!!?

[m@tty]

It depends on your ranking within your school cohort in each subject. Then based on the cohorts performance in the exams your SAC marks are moderated. Simply put, the nth ranked person receives the nth highest exam score as their moderated SAC score.

Also, the majority of your mark is based on your own exam performance. SACs only count for 34% of the mark in the end. If you kill the exams you can still do extremely well.

i'm from glen waverley s.c and it's one of the best public school(?)
so i believe that our cohort is pretty strong.
so assuming that getting around 75%~80% is just abit over the average, i should be able to get those marks if i get high A + for my end of yr exam? oh and i got an A for chem

[nonstop9328]

* high A's to A+

[m@tty]

Sounds good. If you get two highish As for Chem and Bio in exams then you should be set for 37 quite easily. But for Further, you can only drop approximately 5 marks over both exams (95/100) for 45.

[nonstop9328]

so B for sacs and A A for the two exams will give you about 35~ 37 right?!?!

37 raw is top ~18% of cohort.

45 raw is top 2% of cohort.

Yes.

isnt 38 top 10% ?

[m@tty]

Can't be. 40 is top 9%. 35 is top 26%.

I thought it was top 15%.

Can't remember exactly though.

You think that because of three A+ can possibly yeild at 38 (for a subject with a mid year exam). But remember for sacs top 20% get A+. So if you factor that in 38 is not top 10% is more than that

Can't be. 40 is top 9%. 35 is top 26%.

this is after scaling right? since a scaled score of 30 puts u right in the middle.

[m@tty]

No. A RAW score of 30 is the median score. After scaling the median score changes.

All these statistics are for raw scores.

Really?? how does that work though? i thought the distriibution of scores gave a bell-curve like pattern and scores were adjusted according to the difficulty of a subject?

now im really confused. :S
