psychology.

sacs ; low a
exam 1 ; high b
exam 2 ; mid A+ .


I would say 34-36.

dayum. lets hope its a 35 =D. and hoping once again scale down by 1 LOL. i have some high hopes == . anything below 40 for bm and my enter and courses are laters T_T

offtopic but
you are clearly going to get above 25 for your subjects- i think you should maybe raise your estimated enter/study scores >_>
thats what i was thinking haha but i guess if you have low expectations at the start then when you get your results it can only be a good surprise :)

I thought EL gets scaled up if you get above 25...

10katsP i did greek last year and must admit that it was a waste of effort after 10 years of greek school. a friend of mine got 40/50 for sacs and 320/400 for oral&written and got 30. statement of marks read: A A A. and it gets scaled like 2 and chinese goes up liek 2,000 but they mirror each other in terms of grade distribution - its a malakia dont fret if your score isnt as high as you estimated it to be

Chinese (35 becomes 46) doesn't get scaled up nearly as much as Latin (35 becomes 50) or Classical Greek (35 becomes 50). And Chinese is really hard to get 35+ if you don't have a Chinese background, no matter how hard you work.

Yeh I did Punjabi last year and got 32, that scaled to 44.

Generally it will be easier to 40+ if a subject has more students.

I guess the fact that some people who get 48-50 in Methods get 40-45 in Specialist seems to support this?

but subjects like psych and further and generally *harder*, as in need to score higher, to get a 40+ (not ACTUALLY more difficult, but more competitive?)
further is pretty easy and you can barely lose any marks to get above 45+, whereas you can get 45+ in many other subjects and still lose quite a few marks.

Yeah, but the content in Further is really easy, so its not that hard to make barely any mistakes, on the proviso that you have good mathematical knowledge.  Hardest part is literally reading the question properly, which is most peoples downfall.

0.o I find that that exactly what Methods is like for me. The concepts are easy but I have to ensure I read the questions properly.

SACS: B+ (just above middle of cohort of 40)
EXAM1: A
EXAM2: A+ (didnt drop a mark when i reviewed it)

Thanks
