confusion

[Mao]

i just heard before if u r ranked 2nd in sacs and u get the top exam mark you become ranked 1 in sacs aswell, is this true?

Can you stop using 'u' and 'r' and also start capitalizing at the start of sentences. A forum post is not a text message.

well u can still read it so y should i bother writing proper. if u dont like it dont open threads made from me

that single comment changed my opinion of you, sorry dude, you have no right to tell another member who has outdone you in terms of lengths of membership as well as contribution to "put up or shut up" (basically). If you dont want to listen to this, you should know that you also have the right to shut up or leave.

Yeah I have heard that too and it is really confusing.

For example: If I am ranked #2 SACs and ranked #1 in the Exam do I gain the SAC marks of the person who was ranked #1 in SACs?

not necessarily, and you dont always take exactly the ranking score, it'll get moderated approximately to match the external assessment's results. if you ranked #2 in SACs, regardless of what you got in the exam, your moderated SAC will be approximately the 2nd ranking exam score (there or roughly). ranking does not change.

the system is based on the idea that if you perform at a certain level throughout the year in your cohort, you will perform at a similar level at the external assessment at the end of the year. (i.e. your ranking would be roughly the same in SACs and exam, and this is true for most cases)
but assessment and moderation is not THAT straight-cut, they do a lot of things into consideration, and gaps between scores are considered, unexpectedly good/bad performance are investigated.
though the system does have a lot to improve on, it is fair to a reasonable degree, and nowhere near as bad as people make out to be. its just that misunderstanding of this complex system can arrive at these conclusions that "lol the system is crap"

This was my point earlier in the thread and that is the logic I applied. Of course their are instances where people fail miserably on an exam despite outperforming everyone in SAC's but I applied the common sense approach to the situation and quite a number of forumites disagreed because I apparently don't know this person with perfect SAC marks.
Anyways I just revived this because your last post is the contention I was getting at this entire time and people seemed to ignore it.

I disagreed with this. This is not the position of the VCENotes moderation team (favouring members for the length of their membership). No one told you to put up or shut up, he only told you to avoid threads that you didn't like to read.
