Oh, really? So you got your principal to sign it and all? Cause that means your getting it reassessed? How'd that work out, i was thinking of getting my SACs reassessed, they weren't to upset?

[lachlanwilliam]

OK,
i lied haha. i only ticked the statement ones, and the "go to VCAA" to see your exam haha....

I mean, i just dont understand at all how it's calculated. I mean, dont get me wrong im happy with 42, its a good score...just how is it calculated... I didnt try to hard on SACs and still managed a 99.5% average on them haha, and then say 90% for the exam, 94.75% all together for example (If its a true 50/50 split), which means approximately 8% of the state got over 94.75%, so say theres 1,000 people doing IT, that means 80 got higher than 94.75....
orrr am i completely offtopic and have no idea what im talking about haha

A+, A+, A+

Study score: 44

A+, A+, A+

What'd you get for each of your SACs? If you don't mind me asking....

I'm not sure. My teacher never told anybody the actual marks on their SACs. I got VH for all of them (which is the equivalent to an A+). My ranking in SACs was either first or second; there was a small discrepancy between my SAC marks and one other classmate, according to the teacher.

Fair enough,
There ended up being a 2/3% difference betweeen, me who was top of my class and number two of my class

The percentage marks for your SACs aren't terribly meaningful. Usually, your SAC scores are used to sort your class into a ranking, your position in which has a much more adverse affect on your study score. This system is designed (albeit controversially) to eliminate the advantage that teachers would have if they gave all of their students very high marks for their SACs.

In your case, I believe that your study score of 42 owes chiefly to the mark you got on your exam. Usually, A+ on all three graded assessments can guarantee you at least 40, though there are cases of people getting scores in the high 30s. With what would probably be high A+ grades for the SACs in both units, I would predict that you got an exam that was in the low A+ range, which is why you got a score that is lower than you might have expected.

If you're still unsure and you want to look in to it, you can order a Statement of Results from VCAA. It tells you not only your mark out of 180 (your original score doubled), but also your marks for each question on the exam.

Good luck with the rest of your studies.

i got B B A+ and only 35..... i guess exams dont boost up sacs that much.... i did shit all for sacs

Im disappointed

[hudsi101]

same as lachlanwilliam, i was second in my class with my SACs being a 98.5% average with an A+ on the exam and i only got 41. my class average was pretty low though so that must have affected it.

still annoyed though

Thanks for that,
I really appreciate it
Looks like you went very well! Congratulations!

I swear, VCE sucks haha, i dont want rankings anymore :/

Hey hudsi ,
Im blaming the rest of our classs. we shoulda got higher than 41/42 haha

42 is still a good score, but you knowww me, i want the top
haha!

It does however mean i get a MacBook Air
changed my mind to an iPad and a HVLF42AM flash for my camera haha, thats why I asked

HUHHHH D:
it's not fair

I got 100% for Unit 1 SACs, and 99% for Unit 3 SACs, then apparantly an A+ on GA3 (Exam), and I only got 42.....
:S
im confused
someone explain how it works? pleaase

That's strange.  In that case, how on earth did I get 42 when I only got an A on the exam?  I suppose it could do with the mildly strong cohort we had.  The highest study score was 45 raw, though I was ranked no 1 in the SACs (darn exams lol)

Yeaaaaaaah! haha so jealous.. i wish I had your class then

[Tan]

Lol I got A A A and a 37.. my avg sac mark was probably like 75 or something but was rank 1 by far LOL o_o

Out of curiosity, how do you actually get your exam remarked?  I thought it would have been impossible...

No no, not at all!
When you get your study score through the mail, in the same envelope comes a thing which gives you the option to:
- Get your exam remarked
- Get VCAA officials to come to your school and check SACs
- Get your statement of marks (how many questions you had right/wrong

the charges are $10.00, $20.00, $10.00 respectively.
You can get your teacher to go over your exam with you at school or at the VCAA. You will be told how mayn marks you were given for a question, if you and/or your teacher disagree, you can then tell the VCAA and order a remark!
