Study Scores?

Hi all,
Sorry to bother you but I was wondering if based on my current scores for my subjects an estimated study score could be calculated? Thanks!

English:
93% for LBW SAC1
90% for Issues Oral
90% for Lang Analysis
90% for LBW SAC2

Lit:
90% for Alt Viewpoints SAC (Antigone)
85% for V&V SAC (Kinsella Poetry)

Further:
58% (ahem) for Core SAC
70% for Trig/Geometry SAC

Psych:
85% for Brain and Nervous System SAC
90% for Visual Perception SAC
84% for States of Conc SAC

Media
80% for Story/Production Techniques SAC (I Am Sam/Rear Window)

I want to get a 85 and above ENTER...

Thanks again!! :smitten:

Pysch 37

Using SAC scores (without rankings) to predict study scores is a little premature I think. If you hold a decent ranking and attain similar scores on your exams for these subjects, you're definitely on the right track for an 85.

I just made an assumption that most of those scores are above average rankings :P

True that lol. I was more referring to her expectation that it would be reasonable to be able to predict study scores with such limited information.

 :) Thanks guys! Our school doesn't let us know what our rankings are :S But I think I'm fairly high up in all my subs except Maths, lol. Our school is tiny as well- I dont know if that makes any difference (?)

Lit: 2nd (but one mark away from first) or 3rd
English: Not sure about other classes but 1st/2nd in mine
Maths: lol. No Comment. We have so many Methods/Spec students looking for an easy 50.
Psych: 2nd/3rd
Media: Very even class... probably around 4th/5th?

Hope this helps :)
Thankyou guys SO much. :)

yes, your cohort may be joined with another school's cohort to make up the minimum size [i believe it was 16]

Cohort size depends on the subject itself as well. For LOTEs I've been told that it's a minimum of 5.

having ranking by itself yields no information either. To make it meaningful, you need to predict your cohort's performance in the exam as well as your own, and then take the appropriately ranked exam score as approximately your SAC GA mark.

from that you predict the sum of your GAs then how that might rank according to the state, then a very wide range of what your SS might be.

so...? predicting SS is often a complete waste of time and effort :P
