Chances of 40 raw despite c+ in midyear? o_O

[c.k.n]

anyone know if i have any chance of getting 40 raw despite my crappy midyear score? i averaged low-mid A+ in unit 3 sacs, and have done two sacs in unit 4 which have been both 40/40.

i think its about 0 unless you got a derived score. Even full marks would get you like a 38 tops =\

I'm in the same boat. And no there is absolutely no chance. You may have a chance of getting 35-36 if you get an A+ given your good SAC results. Mine went down quite significantly once I received my result and stopped giving a crap lol.

Also remember that Psychology gets scaled down 3-4 points... so to get 40 you need like 43 (top 7% in the state).

Screw psychology lmao.

i got an A on midyear. with a high A+ on the exam what range could I get for a ss?

[lolbox]

with an A+ you could get anywhere from 38 - 45. depending on SAC results and how high the A+ is (full marks obviously being the 45)

I thought psychology scaled down by 2 at an SS of 30, and only by 1 at an SS of 4. (Unless you were talking about scaling for scores lower than 30, then you could be right).

with an A+ you could get anywhere from 38 - 45. depending on SAC results and how high the A+ is (full marks obviously being the 45)

I personally don't think you can get 45 after getting an A on the midyear, despite even getting full marks. 45 is pushing it, perhaps a 41 or 42 max.

[masonnnn]

same boat as you akira... i got A on the midyear after being top of the class in sacs (dropped one mark) and kept that up unit 4...
need to not collapse under exam pressure.

41 or 42 max, is that assuming that the mid year mark was a low, medium or high A?

So if you got two As and an A+ you would think that the max study score you could get is 32/33 ?

Depending on standard deviations and means etc, the general maximum study score you can get with the highest possible A, and two of the highest possible A+s (for a study which has 33% contributions from each), is around 46.

I'm confused, I don't think I mentioned a 32/33?
I know of someone who got 2 of the highest As and an A+ (not sure how high the A+ was though) and got only a 39. I just don't want anyone to become too complacent (but then again I don't want to worry anyone either...)
But if you say that they can get up to 46, it's pretty ambitious, especially for psychology

say you got the two lowest possible A+'s for both exams and were decently ranked in sacs (top several students). would it be unreasonable to hope for a 40?

9% get over 40, 9% get over A+. Put two and two together.

Actually I think 10-11% get over A+ which is why it's possible to get 3 A+'s and get under 40.

I'm pretty sure they can only allow 9% to be A+. I'm not cemented in my opinion tho.

[m@tty]

That is definitely incorrect; the percentage of students who get A+ fluctuates year to year and subject to subject. The range I've seen, from memory, is 7-13.
