Ok, our teachers at our school have told us that if we drop 6 marks in total from both exams, we cant get a 40, is this true or are they just trying to get the best out of us by making us freak??????????????

if you lost six marks in total you'd get around 44.
they aren't being serious...

Not serious. I lost 3 marks to get 49.

It depends on your COMBINED performance on SACs, exam 1 and exam 2. So if you lose 5 marks on exam 2 and none on SACs, you'd probably get 46-47. Further's awesome that way because everything has equal weighting.

be about 46 i'd say.
45 would be quite unlikely, so ~46

^ SACs could screw them over.

But yeah, assuming strong SAC mark after moderation(ie. the cohorts strong), 45-46.

if sacs were that strong there would be potential for 47, so its likely to be 46, but if weak SACs possible 45.

whatever
lets say 45-47 then ><

I just meant seeing as at 85% there is a lot of potential for people to be above them ranking-wise and if the cohort isn't very strong, he could get like A for SACs which could pull his SS down majorly..

I got 42 for further, had good sac ranking...
36/40 first exam, 55/60 second exam...
so 9 marks dropped for a 42 at a strong school...
For every mark you drop, I think you just about drop a study score :P
so 50 = no mistakes
45= say 5=6 errors...
