Economics

[Hutchoo]

Just a little bump, can anybody find me the average study score for subjects? I want to know what the average is for economics

I can't find it.. Its somewhere on VCAA or something, I swear I've seen it!

[Yitzi_K]

The average study score would be 30 wouldn't it?

If you mean the grade distributions, here's the 2009 stats: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vcaa/vce/statistics/2009/section3/vce_economics_ga09.pdf

It was more of a booklet, stating the average study scores for each subject, depending on peoples results.

Some are 23 and stuff... I'll try and find it too

I'm pretty sure the average SS is 30 for all subjects? That's the point of the bell curve, to evenly spread and standardise marks using the mean and sD's.

AH YES THATS IT!

And it is at 30 =D. Sorry I'm bad at explaining stuff

The 'AVERAGE' study score for Chinese SL is 39.52? That is so good!

[Hutchoo]

45.00 for Latin? I don't even know if thats the right way to say put it.. Is that the real 'average'?

[AzureBlue]

Oh! It's the scaled average. ie. 30 in Latin = 45.

[Hutchoo]

Yeah Well, 31 is pretty average.. Getting a 31 in Economics for someone that did a 1/2 should be easy I hope.. I'm looking for a high score Especially with tutoring.

[AzureBlue]

Lol, good luck. What areas are you interested in doing in uni?

[Hutchoo]

Can anyone tell me if these books would be a help for 3/4 Economics?

Should I go over these books on the holidays, or will it be wasting my time?

Thanks.

Those are the first year uni textbooks - they're pretty good

[Hutchoo]

Yeah, my sister used them like once, they're in mint condition ^.^
How do you know that anyway? Genius? Kekeke.
So I should read them?, Which one do i read first?

[AzureBlue]

I don't know - probably best to ask someone who has done VCE economics what is relevant and what not. All I know is that they're meant to be quite good, and no previous knowledge required. I borrowed the micro from a friend because I have a project for commerce. Microeconomics : case studies and applications - Jeff Borland is pretty awesome too!
