30 study score

[mykool]

how hard is this to achieve   :laugh:

[m@tty]

55% in the exam... Yeah.

[cypriottiger]

average exam mark is 5.5, so effectively just get 5 6 6 and you should get the 30 if not a bit higher

[rubiks]

how hard is a 6? Assuming you have decent sac marks and you get 6/6/6 you would be looking at around 32, yes?

[m@tty]

Sounds about right.

[mykool]

are you serious, wow i feel really confident now

however i will get high to get high scores, just incase

[m@tty]

how hard is a 6?

I'd say that for most people (read: you have a decent level of expression) if you write a coherent and sustained, completed piece (at least 700 words) on the prompt/topic in the exam you should net at least a 6.

m@tty, I have a question. Do examiners actually count up the words? For those who have big writing, could we get away with 700 words.. although it looks like 1100. I'm talking on a grand scale big here.

[m@tty]

They won't count the words. They can't be bothered and don't have enough time.

From what I hear word count is not a large consideration per se - rather, depth of analysis is what is looked for in that regard. If you are succinct then you could perhaps fit into 700 words what others take 1100 rambling words to express, thus the actual number of words is rather irrelevant.

Hi,

Im doing English: c, c+ and c+ for my three sacs
Physics:c+,c+,c+ for my three sacs
Chemistry: c+ - b for my sacs
Methods: D-C FOR MY SACS!

Can you guys predict my studyscore for each of them so far and what marks i should get on the exams to get 30 for each! Thanks

considering im about to ask questions hard on the english forum (im not a very good english student) im happy to give you my opinion

1st of all its how your going in relation to the rest of your school and how good they are in general that's important for sacs, head over to the technical score discussion if you feel like learning the ins and outs of it.  Rather then give you a complete rundown though, ill just assume that thats what you got after VCAA moderates them.

english: get C+ overall, and say C+ for your exams and id say you'd be expecting a slightly under 30 though so id try and aim for some sort of B in your exam, that should be about right. (remember in C+ is average in exams, not C, and B-B+ is average in Sacs)

physics: again with a C+ sac grade awarded at the end of the year, and assuming you do the same in your two exams, id predict anywhere from 25-29.  for a 30 id say try and get a B or B+ in both your exams to level out the C+ sacs. (witch anyone can do with some work)

chemistry: with SAC's high C+ low B, and same with exams, id say from 30-32.

Methods: D+ sacs, D+ exams, 21-25 study score. if you stay with the sacs on D+, for a 30 id aim for 2 highish B+'s in your exams.

But the letters themselves are compleatly meaningless for sacs, its important to recognize that its all about you in relation to your class, and your class in relation to the state through there exams. Eg a student could have an 'A' in terms of percentage, and end up with a C, or a student with a C by percentage could end up with an A+. anyway yeah im not going to spam this thread with the details
