I DONT GET THESE SAC CRAP TOO CONFUSING HELP!!

[Mao]

only SAC ranking and exam score are absolute in your SS calculation

as for the actual GA scores for SACs, that depends on a few things:
1. how the state cohort performs
2. how your cohort [class] performs

your SAC ranking will correspond to an "external" score that is moderated on the state's performance in regards to GAT performance in your cohort
[basically, top SAC ranking approximates to top exam score]
hence, your "i've got an A+ in my SACs woot" is quite meaningless until you come to tell us that "our cohort average at B+ exam performance with heaps of A+ scores" or something like that.

the actual GA outcome depends on many things, this is the thorny process of statistical moderation [i have lost count how many times I've explained this, less other people doing the explanation, hurry up viki so we can have a FAQ!!!! ]

I saw that somewhere, just can't exactly remember where

But that's weird as, he got an A for the exam and got 42? but the person got A+ for all and got 40. wtfbbq?!

It's showing that the SAC mark is more important? :S

[chem-nerd]

no - look at what the A+ range is. it shows that student C was at the higher end of the range than student B for GA1 and GA2 and only slightly lower in GA3

the weighting is still the same for both students but whereabouts their scores fell in the range was much different for two of the graded assessments

In physics (at the end of Unit 3) I think I'm narrowly in 2nd. Just say I managed to finish 1st in Unit 4 by a larger margin. What would this mean for the 'absolute' SAC ranking. Is it separate for each Unit, or an overall one?

Thanks.

[chem-nerd]

For science subjects and accounting the SACs for the WHOLE year are ranked together. For chemistry (and the others - I think) the SACs are out of 100 for each unit so the GA2 mark will be out of 200.

So your ranking will be calculated from ALL of your SACs over units 3 and 4.

Does anybody know how the languages work? I mean with the orals and all...
