Unusual SAC Ranking Problem ==
mystikal:
Heys
This is a problem i have not come across in this forum and now that i have fallen victim to it please help me out ==
Ok for Japanese 3/4 I am rank 1 for Unit 3 SACs (1 point ahead) but i am Rank 2 in unit 4 SAC's (1 point behind) so overall i would be equal rank 1 with 2 other people (theres only 10 of us)
So how does this work when it comes to exams? how will the SAC's be scaled? (also Japanese is one where SAC's are worth 50% and the end of year the other 50%)
Am i still rank 1? Those unit 4 take priority over unit 3? === sooooo confused ====
AppleThief:
No unit takes priority over the other. The teacher can either submit your SAC marks as they are, or rank properly and give the person who is likely to perform best on the exam, the highest SAC ranking.
mystikal:
great my teacher hates me == and since i think he would go for the unit 4 result im gonna be rank 3 == ARGGHHHHHHHH == hate my teacher ==

Aww... Try your hardest in the exam, and there is no reason why you can't top your Japanese class. Never give up hope before the exams!
shinny:
I don't think the teacher's submit scores to VCAA at the end of the year though; its given progressively. And yeh, unit 3 and 4 marks are weighed equally (even though theres less sacs in unit 4 typically, its still 50/50). As for scaling, SACs are used ONLY to get a ranking of students, the mark themselves don't work. Although I'm not too sure exactly what happens when theres equal scores, I imagine that the three of you will be denoted #1, while the person after you guys will then be #4. Then from then on, the same system applies; the three of you inherit the best exam mark produced from your cohort (the ten of you that is) as your SAC score, whilst the #4 from before inherits the 4th best exam score from your cohort. If you don't quite get what I mean, read up on it at VCAA, although their explanations might be even more confusing.
