confusion

[clinton_09]

Alrighty, im doing accounting this year i have had 2 sacs my marks totaling so far 62/67. Theres a girl in my class who has received perfect marks in both sacs 67/67. Now i know i will get a better mark on the mid year exam then her, i expect to get A+, i think she will get around a B because she will not study for the mid year. Here comes my question if she retains number 1 ranking and i get A+ on the mid year and she gets a B, does this mean she will get the A+ and i will get B?
Surely this cannot be right (it better not be right)

That's a ridiculously arrogant statement to make. I have my money on her getting a better score then you on the exam.

if she maintains her SAC ranking (first), then for the end of year, her GA1 will take your exam mark, which you have said will be A+
your SAC marks though, will take the your appropriate ranking, i.e. if her exam result is the next one down, your GA1 will be around the average of her exam results

the principle is, if your performance is less than a B student throughout the year in class, then the mark awarded to you for the year's class performance should not be more than a B.

so, best route to go: beat her in the SACs

erm, he didnt say WHY he make that claim, and until he does (and they might be good reasons, but i dont want to bet on that), you are actually being the ridiculously arrogant one.

u don't go to my school and you r not in my accounting class. If u were u would realise they didn't know the mid year exam counted until the other day. Yes that girl is very good at accounting (in the sac's) but u do not know her, i do and more importantly i know i will get a better mark for the same reason i stated in my earlier post she will not study and put in the effort to acquire an A+. If she does congratulations to her, but i know she will not. I have rigourously started preparing and extremely confident i will get a better result. Now could some one please tell me what would happen in my first post. Thankyou

Actually he did say why.

because she will not study for the mid year.

And that is ridiculous to say because how would he know that and how would he be able to ascertain that someone who has not lost a mark on sacs all year will get a B on the mid-year while he will get an A+.
You have failed to prove to me in any way how I have been arrogant.

thanks mao. i'll get her back lol

simply:
you do not know WHY he says she will not study, and you dont know her nor him nor that class nor the teacher, so to assume that Clinton_09 is wrong in that claim, and then point finger at him for being arrogant, is itself a claim with no justification. If that is the basis that you think Clinton_09 is making his claim upon, and hence he is arrogant, you are not any less.
and I trust Clinton_09, who does know her, himself, the class and the teacher, would have some reasoning as to why she might not achieve an A+. That, compared to your claim, which I think has little basis other than "you are arrogant because you say something like that", is slightly more reasonable and logical.

with that said, i am not saying clinton_09 is right

clinton_09:
try the best you can, but she does have the potential to beat you. someone who aces SACs sure has abilities, and will most probably get a reasonable exam mark,
but with that said, I aced all my IT sacs and only B+'d the exam, go figure.
regardless of either case, do your best, because thats the best you can do =)

Um yeh that sounds well and truely 'dandy' Mao but the fact of the matter is that this person has got 67/67 (lost no marks on her sacs) and Clinton is suggesting that they will get a B on their exam. I have no opposition to Clintons claim that he can get an A+.



And fine, why won't this person study Clinton?

[AppleXY]

Cool it guys... lets keep the train on the road (ok trains don't go on roads, but one day they will lol ).

Hold up:

I'm ranked 3rd in methods (STUPID MISTAKES I WANT TO GET A BASEBALL BAT AND HIT IT ON THE HEAD), if i get >95% in the exams will i still get a 45?

(pls say yes, it'll make my day (but be honest))

... anyways back on topic.

its happened before, to me =P

ApplyXY:

it is possible, and from what it sounds, those ahead of you have pretty excellent abilities, so I dont doubt their exam performance (unless they bomb out, or they dont study). make that your goal =)
and protip: do all the questions in A+ notes, it is by far the BEST for methods revision.

I'm depressed. I lost 5-6 marks instantly on my favourite area. Now, someone shoot me.  (because you said the person above you will take teh exam mark). Meh, i'm not really depressed just frustrated that i lost marks on diff, really silly mistakes. (exams all, srsly, acc is my ancedote)

Yeah, tell me about it. I hate stupid mistakes! ARGH!

My 2 cents: The ENTER and SAC calculation thing is so darn confusing, just try your absolute hardest and let the numbers and rankings sort themselves out into a study score.

I think it's best not to think about it
It hurts my brain

[costargh]

My 2 cents: Don't count on students who obtain perfect SAC marks to flunk out on the exam just because it is your opinion that "they will not study"
