[FIXED] 19/nov ACCURATE FOR 40+ NOW web based study score calculator

[zzdfa]

EDIT july 2 2009: this is a piece of crap don't bother.  might try updating it near the end of this year.


just put in your subject, estimated marks, and which years data you want to use (04 to 07) and away you go.
NOTE: atm this doesn't account for SAC moderation, in reality SACS count for little, so choose a SAC mark close to your exam mark.

by sac mark thing i mean this:
say you think you got 150/160 for exam 2 and 70/80 for exam 1. that's 220/240 in total, which is about 91%. so put 90 in your sac marks score.
You have to do this because this program doesn't account for the sac moderation that vcaa does. if you get a high exam score but shitty sac mark, vcaa will adjust your sac mark upwards, etc.

it's very basic and ugly atm but i will add more stuff soon.

Hey,
when I type 'Mathematical Methods (CAS) "
it says, 'A problem occurred in a Python script.'

[vce01]

^delete the space after the closing bracket

[danieltennis]

^delete the space after the closing bracket

what space?

[vce01]

^delete the space after the closing bracket

what space?

the one after closing bracket for CAS

i got the same error when i just copy pasted the subject from the list..just make sure your cursor (the vertical line thingy when you type) is right after the closed bracket and hit delete a couple of times. should work then.

[danieltennis]

yeah, i got it. Thanks

I doubt its accuracy.  For methods, i typed in 96, 76 and 140 and i got a range of : RAW: 41.5647529886 to 42.8904252657, expected 42.1731396317

Then i typed in 96, 76 and 130 and got a range of : 42.4625815801 to 43.7206831747, expected 43.0391228371

Yeah, its not that accurate.

fixed the trailing space thing, you don't have to worry about the spaces anymore.

@doboman
thanks for the feedback ill try to fix it.

@cloud
could you elaborate? i.e. what scores you put in and what score you got.

[costargh]

Its very inaccurate
Accounting
85/90 Exam 1
199/200 SACS
85/90 Exam 2

41.2692298501

I put scores pretty much within the A range and it came out with a 33!!! This is for methods CAS

[jsimmo]

Business Management:
GA1: 95/100
GA2: 95/100
GA3: 120/120

RAW: 43.42587599 to 44.6248744247, expected 43.9742825229

 

Those scores should get a 45++ at least.

[zzdfa]

I might need to change the way the script calculates high end scores, atm for some subjects (mostly the ones with easy exams like Accounting) you need 100% to get 50, and losing 1 mark drops you down to 45. 20-45 seems to work ok at the moment though.

@jsimmo , yea, that should be ~48, it's because it doesn't account for sac moderation by vcaa, you should put in sac marks close to your exam %

@doboman
it seems like that only happens when you put in 96 for SAC marks and year 2007 =S 95 and 97 work fine.

@cloud if they were low As, that sounds about right. otherwise, post the exact values you are putting in or try slightly different (+- 1 mark); because it could be like doboman's problem.
