Some tell us what we will get!!

Hmm, can someone pls predict my SS

I got rank one in the MHS cohort.
I got 23/40 for exam one
and 63/80 for exam two

can i still get a 50?

It's nice to set your aim high - but you're on the wrong end of a normal distribution curve for a 50
Maybe mid thirties ~33-34

[gossamer]

33-35 for exam 1
71-73 for exam 2
I don't know about the SACs, our school tells us what we get out of 10, so we can't work out our study scores or something like that <_<
But pretty much one of the top students

Sorry to be a pain, but .. yeah. Thanks in advance  :smitten:

[Chavi]

personally i tink some of you are predicting scores way too low

Conservatism principle. Better to take a worst-case scenario approach to Study Score predictions, and get a wonderful surprise at the end of the year, rather than give empty promises and come out with a rude shock on Dec 14.

33-35 for exam 1
71-73 for exam 2

Probably ~39-40 - those exam 1 marks can really put the SS down.

Just to keep things in perspective, guys, apparently the median/mean last year for paper 2 was 44 or something. So predicting low 30s for people with mid 60s is a bit absurd, especially considering the A+ cut off will be very, very low 60s or high 50s.

And did that many people really get above 70? Most people I know didn't attempt everything on the paper, guessed a lot or got a lot wrong. And most of my friends are pretty good at maths... I'd say that above 70 on that paper would be in the top few percent at the very lowest.

Whilst difficulty does fluctuate, I doubt the cutoff will be that low.
Generally Losing 8+ marks on Exam 2 and 4+ marks on Exam 1 is a low 40.
I glanced through the exam, and it was comparable in difficulty to VCAA 2007. A rough Study Score can easily be predicted by previous reports.
And I don't think you can judge the performance of the entire state just by asking those around you - exam fatigue and over-speculation are generally rife immediately after the exam. . .
