How much do SACs REALLY count for?

[Trigger_003]

Umm...
I've never taken any SAT subjects, and reading over VCAA's explanation didn't make it explicitly clear. In the second paragraph they do make the clear distinction between school-assessed and external assessments, lumping SATs quite clearly into the former. Yet SATs are actually marked externally by VCAA reps, aren't they? Interesting.

"Statistical moderation is a process for adjusting schools? assessments to the same standard" <- that'd imply SATs are included, as "There are two forms of school assessment ? coursework assessment and School-assessed Tasks."

Then they also say:
"The VCAA uses statistical moderation to ensure that the coursework assessments given by different schools are comparable throughout the State." I don't know about you - that makes me think it only covers SACs...
Sorry I couldn't give you a more definite answer.

Hmmm ...
Because the exams do not cover any of the topics covered by SATs. At least not for media. I did Visual Communication last year and got A+(100%) for my SAT and a B for the exam. So I thought it wasn't affected.

Random folios are chosen from each school and are marked by VCAA reps. This determines whether the mark given by the teacher is fair. But I'm still unsure whether this is the final mark for the folio and if the exam affects it. I didn't get a statement of marks so I'm not sure if my folio mark was scaled down. However, my SAC marks throughout the year were consistently A+, (93%) and were changed to A on my results. Anyways yeah I have no idea. Thanks for the help.

the whole system of SACS is bogus IMO, VCAA need a drastic revamp of the system i feel, too often good students are restricted to what study scores they will get due to teacher bias', especially in subjects with multiple teachers

if your exam grades are lower by a couple of grades they will scale u down. just stay positive and do your best on the exam and hope for the best.

ur sac results will change when it comes to the ranking and stuff (thats everyone) but just use it as an estimate for your performance.

the SAC gets moderated based on how your cohort performs on the exam. the moderation process will give a somewhat accurate reflection of what SAC score you should've received had it been homogenized with the state. so your class's SAC scores will overall correspond to your class's exam performance [overall]
