PLEASE DO NOT POST ASKING FOR A PREDICTION THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS ONE IN THE FRONT PAGE/b]...
I'm going to edit/compile every 'predict my study score' comment in this thread into this here original post. By the time we get a couple of pages of "please predict SS" then we're bound to get some overlap and thus a reduction in people needing clarification.
I will be categorising predictions by subjects, and then highest to lowest GAs/Scores and the ranks that accompanied.
Others, please feel free to predict as you usually would, this thread is just a compilation so we don't get five posts on "What if I get three B+s in Biology" per week.
YOU MUST PROVIDE US WITH: Your ranking and the approximated strength of your cohort, or approximate strength of the area around your rank. (So, if you're ranked third, even if you have a horrible cohort, but the top ten people are mega-geniuses - let us know).http://www.bettereducation.com.au/results/vce.aspx.. and your hopeful exam(s) mark(s). Conversely, don't worry about your school or ranking and provide is with your SAC GAs after scaling (as has been done in the first reply below.)
If you don't know what a GA is, read Paul's thread before posting.
If you want to understand where people's predictions are (hopefully) coming from, read Paul's Guide to how Study Scores and ATARs are calculated!

Hey, for English, what do you reckon you would get with high As on SACs (~83/100) and a low A for the exam (~7s)? Thanks!I'd say ~36-38 going off last years grade distrubutions, as the lower exam result will impact your SACs.

Post by: ttrai on October 17, 2012, 04:30:30 pm
Not sure about the cohort but am guessing weak to medium with rank in top 10 or maybe top 5
If i got
GA 1:mid-high A+ GA 2: high A+ GA3: predicting a high b+ to low A on the exam (40/60)
would that be enough to get over 38? If not, what SS would i be more likely to get?

Not sure on ranking, probably above average but not at the top. The cohort is pretty good (strong public school) but definitely not up there with MHS and the like.

IF YOU POST ASKING FOR A PREDICTION THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS ONE IN THIS ORIGINAL MESSAGE... whilst I can't ban you -> you will look like a gigantic fucking idiot and everyone will remember you as the person who ignored the OP.
Okay I'm going to edit/compile every 'predict my study score' comment in this thread into this here original post. By the time we get a couple of pages of "please predict SS" then we're bound to get some overlap and thus a reduction in people needing clarification.
This is a big effort from brendan, so if you do ignore the OP then I will temporarily probate you. The least you can do is try to help yourself before asking us :)

English
SACS - A (average) I don't know my rank (my teachers think its fun to leave it a mystery) At a guess...probably in the top 18/80
Median study score for my school(across all subjects): 31
Exam- A+
Methods
SACS- A (average) Rank is probably in the top 12/50 -in a relatively strong cohort
Exam 1: A+
Exam 2:A+
Spesh
SACS - B (Average) in a mid-high cohort, rank: 5/11
Exam 1- A
Exam 2- A
Chem
Sacs- A+ (average) in a very, very strong cohort , rank: 7/28
Exam 1: B+ (high)
Exam 2: A+ (high)
Physics:
SACS- B-B+ , pretty strong cohort as we had 1/4 of students getting an A+ in midyears. So I would say my rank is probably down the bottom. Around 20/30
Exam 1: B+
Exam 2: A
Post by: Unknown_one on October 20, 2012, 08:46:42 pm
English
Sacs: B+. Rank quite low since there is a class that gets much higher despite being of low calibre.
Exam: mid A, just trying hard at the moment to get better
What is required for a 40? In terms of marks
Further Mathematics:
Rank 1
Sacs: 100, 100, 99, 90.
Exam 1-A+.
If I drop a mark, is there still a chance for a 50? This is a legitmate question since the person who achieved a 50 last year at my school dropped 2 marks, on his statement of results on Ex 2.
Specialist Mathematics
Sacs- A-A+, not sure about the last sac since I got 85, 100, and the last one hasn't been returned despite school ending
Exam- A+ for exam 1
Exam 2- Low A.
Would that be enough to get a 40?
Chemistry
Sacs Unit 3 - B+
Exam for U3 Result B+
Sacs Unit 4- A-A+ not sure
Exam- A
What would be needed to get a 35-37? is it a A+ required?
Physics
Sacs- A+ Unit 3, rank 2-3
Unit 3 Exam - A+
Unit 4 Sacs- Dropped 2-3 marks total. Rank 1 I believe
Unit 4 Exam- Hopefully an A+
What is required to get 44, and would there be a chance to get a high 40?
Is it a high A+ for the last exam to get a 45-48? Since Im trying really hard for Physics since it is a favorite subject of mine, since I plan to excel in it, posssibly as a career.
Sorry for the trouble mate.
Thanks in advance...

Methods - 40
Spesh 37[?]
Chem - 38
Physics -35-36
What is required for a 40? In terms of marks [English]For a 40 you'd be aiming for an 8, 8 and a 9, and hoping that an amount equivalent to your rank also get an A+ in the exam.
If I drop a mark, is there still a chance for a 50? This is a legitmate question since the person who achieved a 50 last year at my school dropped 2 marks, on his statement of results on Ex 2.Still a chance for a 50. I think it would depend on the grad year also. Last year, he might have got 100% for his SAC GA and 100% on his exam 1. If you dropped a mark, you might have -1 mark on all three.
As for your prediction it's extremely variable. You could be anyway from 38-50. It looks like you'll be very close to 50 being a Spesh student etc.
Spesh -> It's possible. I've been told that Spesh can be variable, Bcubed says he got an A+ B+ A+ = 41, and a guy he knew got A+ A+ A and got 39. I don't think it would get 40 because of the exam 2 weighting.
Chem -> An A on the exam could net you a 35-37, depends on how your cohort goes. With an A it should be a pretty safe 35 at least.
Physics -> You'd want a high A+ for 45-48. Certainly a chance of high 40s, depends on how high your mid year was (I'll assume pretty high because of your SACs. A Mid A+ could net 44.

Thanks Brendan. :)No trouble man, you're welcome :)
Sorry for the trouble mate. =)
I disagree quite slightly with SB so, here's mine. [+1 SB]
I'm curious to what SS these would translate to.Aiming to accurate because I'm assuming every increment means something to you (med cutoffs etc etc)
English:
Unit 3 & 4 SACs: Very high A+ average in a strong cohort (mean was 37.8 )
Exam: 54/60
I think this should net 47; your scaled SACs are going to be pretty much full and iirc 56 netted 50 in 2011
Methods:
SACs: A average in a strong cohort (mean was 36.5)
Exam 1: Mid A+
Exam 2: Mid A+
42 I think is on the money. I'm not sure on your ranking but if SACs ended up a High A+ or either of the exams moved up just a tad it'd go to 43.
Biology:
SACs: Low A+ average in a very strong cohort (mean was 39.2)
Exam 1: Low A+
Exam 2: Mid A+
I'd put you closer to 43-44 on the assumption of a strong GA 2.
Chemistry:
SACs: High A+ average in a strong cohort (mean was 37.2)
Exam 1: Low A+
Exam 2: Mid A+
Same as Bio
French:
Unit 3 & 4 SACs: B+ average in mid-strong cohort (mean of 34)
Exam: B+ or A
I think 35 in 2011. The reason for my minimal difference -> 2011's exam(s) had a mean of 273.6, an A cutoff of 314. We'll say you get 315. Standard Dev. = 59.9, so I'd put that at .7 SDs away from the mean. I assume an A grade for scaled SACs so (43-37.2)/6.7 = .71 SDs from the mean. Repeat for U4 with the different data, .6 away. If a 35 is .7 away (5/7) then I put you there, -closer to being less- than rather than more than with a lower exam performance. Then again, you might end up with A+ SAC GAs
Cheers mate!
I'll add these later, gonna go write 6 essays with laseredd 8)

Nah man, defs not right - three A+'s no matter how low, mean that you're in the top 10% of the cohort, so even if you were the bottom in that 10% you'd be looking at a 38. So for three LOW A+'s, I'd say 38 - 40.

Hmm, again, 50/60 (which is what an 8, 8, 9 is) with (I'm assuming) high A+'s in SACs will net far above a 40. Remember that a 40 is really three low-mid A+'s. I managed to get 42 with a 45/60 exam mark (9, 8.5, 5) but with very high SACs.

The GA medians are B+, A, B+. For GA 1, 2 and 3 respectively 22%, 23% and 13% got an A+. 48/50 or above nets you an A+ for SACs.. Would three low A+s really net a 40?
On English, like you said above, three low A+s could net 38, so I thought aiming for two eights and a nine were appropriate.
-> Sorry for the delay Luke, I've been inactive, preparing for my Theatre monologue (done today). I'll work out whatever you've posted now. Likewise for Choong.

English:
Average in an average cohort SAC's.
Exam: 44/60
Are you sure your cohort is actually 'average'? It'd be miraculous for an avg/avg person to get 44. But with that I'd say around 33 -> C+, C+, A

Rank 1 in SAC's, 95%+ average, weak cohort though.
Exam 1: High A
Exam 2: A+
38-42
Physics:
Average in a decent cohort.

Exam 2: A
Probs around 32, assuming a B scaled.
Methods:
Just above average in a mediocre cohort.
Exam 1 : 34/40
Exam 2 : 66/80
Is your definition of average correct? If you double A+ the Methods exam and you're average in a mediocre cohort...
Anywazzle, I'm just going to assume your definition is wrong by the one and say you'd get a 40. If average in a mediocre cohort is correct then probably like 36.
Spesh:
Above average in a class of 10. Cohort is above average.
Exam 1: 30/40
Exam 2: 60/80
'Bout a 32.
would someone be kind enough to give a prediction for my brother in specialist please,I think perhaps 43.
sacs: ranked somewhere between first and fifth at a select entry school, strong cohort
exam 1: low a+
exam 2: mid a+
ESL: 183/200 SACs at a medium-high cohort, 14/90 students scored a 40+ last year, 50-54/60 for the exam
Again I have no clue what the ESL graded distributions mean but if it's anything like mainstream English 43+
Methods: 81/100 SACs in a very strong cohort, will scale to around 95-99 (friends scaled from 80 to 98 last year) mid-low A+ for exam 2, high A+ exam 1
45 I think.
Chemistry: 71/75 mid year, about medium/high sacs in strong cohort. mid/high A+ exam 2
46+ I think.
Spesh: 74/100 SACs in a pretty strong cohort I'd assume.. with low/mid A's in both exams?

Anyways, yeah - my scaled SAC scores were really good (97/100 for U3 and 100/100 for U4) in English because my cohort did really, really well, that's why I was able to get a 42 with an exam score of just 45/60 (or 22.5/30). I'd say that yeah, being a strong cohort probably does advantage you a little, but remember that being in a weak cohort isn't as bad as you may think because the benefit is that you're likely to be ranked higher - so it kinda does balance it out a little.

Ah, if Brenden's gonna be gone, I'll be happy to try my hand at predicting some study scores whilst he's away :PCheers Paul :D
Licity -> Based on last post, do your best and should net 40+ pretty swell.
Post by: StumbleBum on October 25, 2012, 09:41:21 pm
Also -> I'm going on a bit of a hiatus and I'm hoping to be inactive so score predictions on my behalf will be minimal until after the 7th of November, when I will clean up this thread and sort out any predictions that are left over.
As long as your back by the time most exams are done! I'm assuming this topic will go crazy with people changing their expectations after they have actually done the exams. I will be overrun haha.

Well I mainly use your method for predicting all study scores, so in a way you've predicted all my predictions anyway. Pretty accurate little system by the way, very nice job.
Thanks man! You kinda get used to it after a while though, like, I now know the common combos off by heart, like three low A+'s...etc.
But yeah, my system is basically just a simplified way of looking at a normal distribution, so in reality, it's pretty much a rough, but adjusted method :P
Awesome! See I'm in the top 5% of a weak cohort and my scores range from best (9, 9, 8) and worst (8, 7, 7) so I'm not too sure where that leaves me. Thanks for your help (and Brenden as well)
How weak is weak though? Let me do some research :P
Oh wow, you go to Mater Christi? :P I know a couple of mates there, but anyways, umm, this is the stats for your school:
Quote
Mater Christi College, Belgrave (6 total)
50: 0; 49: 0; 48: 0; 47: 0; 46: 0; 45: 0; 44: 1; 43: 2; 42: 1; 41: 0; 40: 2
So you can probably see that it's not THAT weak of a cohort, there was a 44, 43, 42, 40 last year, with a total of 6 over 40s in English, so it's a pretty decent cohort, I'd probably place it in the "average" rather than "weak" category.
So yeah, if you're in the top 5% of this cohort, you should be able to crack around a 40 study score if you shell out an 8, 8, 7 (23/30), but yeah, if you do better, then you might even be able to crack a 42 - 43

Are you sure about Mater not being a weak cohort? A lot of students this year really don't give a shit.
Well I used the 2011 statistics and you guys did rather well. 6 study scores above 40 isn't actually that bad, like, it's much, much better than many other schools who consistently get no English study scores above 40 every year. But I guess what you have to consider as well is that it varies across years, like, just because last year's cohort did alright doesn't mean that this year's cohort will as well, so I guess if you're right and a lot of them actually don't give a shit then yeah, this year's cohort will be weaker than last year.
Mhmm. Escpecially for English. There are four classes (I don't know if that group is large or small in the scheme of things) and most people can't write well, haven't read the book/play or just don't care.
Well, the issue is, what's important is that the people who have ranked higher than you do really well on the exam. So the thing is, you don't have to worry about how everyone else below you will perform, because if they do really badly, they won't drag down your SACs, it's those who are going to achieve highly.
So as long as you have a good top bracket, you should be alright. Like, say, with my cohort last year, a pretty strong English cohort, even if I added 100 people who didn't care about English at all and just did crap, it wouldn't alter my mark because they'd be ranked below me.

Psychologyjust wondering, doesnt this seem a bit too high?
Psychology
GA 1: 152/180 GA 2: 190/200 GA 3: 162/180 --> 46
Yes, I would say 42
GA 1: 157/180 GA2: I don't know but I got rank 1 for unit 4 sacs and either rank 1 or 2 for unit 3, in an average cohort (median SS was 28 last year, I think it will improve slightly this year though.) GA3: Perhaps 162 or 163.
I'm trying to work out what unit 4 exam mark I'd need to get a medium or high 40 SS - is my unit 3 exam mark here not high enough to make much of a difference with a similar unit 4 score?
Post by: aaackk on October 26, 2012, 03:02:51 pm
SB is on the money for all three. I dunno wtf I was thinking when I said 46?! :S Thanks heaps for pointing that out. If anyone sees a mistake please feel free to point it out as above!just wondering, doesnt this seem a bit too high?
Psychology
GA 1: 152/180 GA 2: 190/200 GA 3: 162/180 --> 46

Could you please predict these for some of my friends:
Psychology
GA1: 163/180 GA2: 190/200 (scaled) GA3: 163/180

dont get how 7 more marks over two exams and higher sacs only brings you up 2 study scores.. LOL oh well we'll find out end of year wont we :)

It's just solely my PREDICTION. If you are not happy with it then you can totally disregard it. It is a little hard to pinpoint the exact study score someone is going to get, if you want it to be more accurate I would probably add one on top of what I said as I am normally fairly conservative. Better to underestimate than over.

That's somewhat irrelevant, ranking is what really counts.
Post by: aaackk on October 26, 2012, 09:40:08 pm
It's very, very hard to predict study scores accurately because to be honest, nobody knows how hard the upcoming exam will be and nobody will know what the GA distribution for that exam will look like, so yeah, I agree with SB, essentially it's a prediction, if you're not happy with it, go find out how to predict and then do it yourself (guide is in my sig).
lol no im not unhappy. i appreciate the prediction, sorry didnt mean to come across sounding like that. Im just confused by how it works at the high end! hahaha

You do methods, you should know what a normal distribution curve looks like, extremely bunched up in the middle, very dispersed at the high ends, meaning that a little movement can move your study score a great deal.Or at the ends, a large movement can move your study score a minimal amount.

Yeah, I haven't checked the thread in quite a while (my deepest apologies) but it is not my intention to let it die. I will be maintaining this throughout next year.
I've finished exams :)
I'm faced with a bit of a conundrum. My intentions in making this thread was to assuage the doubts of people throughout the year and motivate them to get a better study score than they would have thought had they not understood what their potential was. Literally, that was my sole reason. Now that people are finished with their exams, I'm not sure I want to predict old posts and new ones coming out after the exam is over. Once it's over, it's only speculation and I think it would help people more if they just basically ignored it until results tbh. I can't be pinpoint accurate, if I make a mistake it has the potential to really screw someone over, either on the seventeenth or on the lead up to it. So, my original reason is null and there is a reason not to make the predictions.
My plan was to go back AFTER everyone has got their results, do the predictions anyway so I can add them into the original post as has been done so it's more comprehensive for future years and then continue to maintain the thread throughout next year, for the original reason behind the thread's inception.
Currently, I'd prefer not to make predictions, and encourage everyone to destress. I'm really sorry if that fucks anyone over badly, however, if someone can provide me a convincing argument as to perhaps why I should, I'm all ears and won't disregard any point you have just because you disagree with my current opinion. If you dissent, please do so via my inbox so this thread isn't taken off topic with minor debate. :)
Thanks guys, and sorry again,
Brenden.

35?
I've dropped at least 10, more likely ~15 on end of years, hoping i don't slip down too far.
somebody please slap this man :D hahaha in all seriousness though, i honestly think that your going to get around 42 raw (minimum) judging by your track record, and your posts on the chem board. before i got my mid years for bio, i was SURE i had lost around 20-25 marks, and that i would get a B+. But, i ended up getting 67.5/75 (still not really what i would have liked, but higher than the 50/75 i was genuinely expecting!)
have a little more faith in your self, and just wait for your result. youre hard working and all the best will happen for you. i can see a 99+ in your near future and hopefully, when im sick some odd 15 years down the track with some rare disease, you can help alleviate my illness (u noe, cause youll be an awesome doctor) :)

Perpetual - 47-50 for HHD, I think I said 45 for Psych. That being said it gets harder at the upper levels because it doesn't show what percentage of people get each possible numerical score and I've never got a high SS myself lol. And it's not annoying! The concept of this thread is so people don't have to ask any more so, for once, people asking is a good thing!
I recall that after this, people called me out and said I'd only get 42 for Psychology *sob* BUT I DIDN'T.
Anyway, I ordered everything you possibly can so I know my exact scores.

Finding them is simple enough, 2011 (and 2012 when it gets added) would be relevant - but adding them to the thread all at once would be some work. I might make it a task to put 5 in the thread every time I have nothing to do on the computer. Thanks for the offer, though :)

is the raw sac score the one that the school sends to vcaa? if so, i have no idea how i got 196 because i got 88 for u3 and 95 for u4. or does the school moderate them beforehand?It is possible that the school has moderated your SAC marks before entering it into the system (unless you miscalculated but I trust you know what's up)
Thanks all for the scores :).
Edit: Especially thank you to GN2365. That set up made it so easy. Best Christmas present ever :')

Is it possible to get a 50 if you're rank 2 out of 100 (average cohort) for Further?? Does it depend on how rank 1 does on the exam? i.e. if rank 1 does bad on the exam does that mean I have no chance of 50? This is assuming I full mark both examsWell, it isn't necessarily dependent on rank 1. All you would need is just ONE OTHER person (anyone) to score really highly, so the first and the second person (for yourself and the other scored well) received good SAC marks. It does depend on how well anyone else in your cohort does. I was ranked second and no one else in the cohort scored A+ so I ended up with an A for my SACs >:^(

Highest exam performance goes to the 1st rank's SACs.
Is there a publication that actually shows the algorithm?
EDIT: found the algorithm. For a discussion, see here: Re: Guide to how Study Scores and ATARs are calculated!
YOU MUST PROVIDE US WITH: Your ranking. The strength of your cohort. If you don't know the strength, tell us your school's median study score, search here http://www.bettereducation.com.au/results/vce.aspx.. and your hopeful exam(s) mark(s). Conversely, don't worry about your school or ranking and provide is with your SAC GAs after scaling (as has been done in the first reply below.)I have no idea how this can be quantitatively useful in your calculation of SS estimates. Knowing the mean SS of a cohort cannot tell you what the spread of SS is. That only has predictive power if the student in question falls near the average.

I'd assume that the top 5 students at a school with a 33 median will be better than a school with a 28 median just by likelihood even if that assumption isn't necessarily mathematically correct. It's just a weak replacement for an estimate on strength.

Is it still possible to get a 50 in Further if I'm rank 2 or rank 3 out of ~100 students in a medium cohort provided I full-mark both exams?
Well for other subjects, that'd be a 100% yes, but of course it's still possible in Further but you may have to hope that the others above you drop like one or two marks while you actually get full marks.

Post by: Will Sparks on May 23, 2013, 05:25:34 pm
Ah cheers. Anyone know what a 9/9/9 in the exam will get in English assuming mid A+ SACs?
Should be at least 45 easily, I'm not exactly sure though, cause some schools have easy as shit SACs although 9/9/9 on your English exam is an amazing score.
Biology:
90/100 for SACS in a weak cohort and 106/110 for the exam. Rank 1.
Rank 1 so don't worry about your cohort.
106/110 sounds like an amazing score but I don't do bio, so it may be a less difficult score to get in other subjects (say like Physics or Chem).
I'd say 45+ easily though

Physics: 190/200 for SACs. Rank 1. Average cohort.Strength of cohort is irrelevant if you're ranked 1.
Exam: 80/90.
Anyway, 80/90 I'd estimate 39-40 study score.

For ga1 (unit 3 sacs) I got 86/100. Highest score is 92/100 BUT there are a lot of students (like 5) in my class between 87-91.
I am ranked about 6th in my class, can I still get a high 40? I know ppl say legal is an easy subject therefore everyone does well but if you screw up unit 3 can you still get a good study score?
Btw, is it true (can someone dispute this) that if you do really bad on all your sacs but own the exam you can get a 47+ regardless?

You need to have a high ranking. Something like top 5. I know someone who got 50 in Further, who got 82% SAC average because the SACs were hard. However, he was ranked 1st, owned the exams (got 100 for both) and got the 50.

Hello! I'd like to get study scores of 39 for psych and bio, and I'd like to know a rough goal of what kind of SAC and examination marks that I'll need to attain that score..
My unit 3 average for bio is a 85/100, and 88/100 for psych.
Would an GA 1: A (mid), GA 2: A (mid) GA 3: B+ be sufficient?
I attend a relatively academically weak public school, and I'm ranked somewhere in the top 5 of the school.
No, I think an A(mid), A(mid), B+ would yield a raw score of 34-35.
You're most likely aiming for 3 high As or 2 high As and one A+

Just trying to get a feel as to what I'm on track for..
Methods:
SACs - High B/Low B+

Unit 3 SACs: 80/100
Unit 4 SACs: 80/100

Above average cohort of ~30. Rank 7. Bottom end of cohort (5 or so people) are very weak.
Methods about 33-35. exam scores look good, but try to get a higher sac ranking. :) good luck

It's probably also worth noting that several students elect not to have their results published publicly, so it's best to consider such figures as merely an approximation. :P

sac ranking - 3 with a combined u3 & u4 score of 196/200

select entry cohort, A+ on all sacs (maybe i was first potentially for unit 3 - but probably not, same for unit 4, im definitely <6th though)
expecting a high B+ on the exam,
but if i start studying an A+ or high A+ is achievable, but im wondering what i would get with the B+ just to be safe you know?
cheers guys, really stressing out and also curious :D
Post by: lala1911 on October 07, 2013, 06:19:50 pm
guys what would i get in psych please!!Only a B+ when you've scored A+ in a selective school? I think you can do better than that. For an estimation, I'd say 37-39, assuming your sacs stay at an A to A+.

This isn't really relevant, but what do you guys think are the chances that the clearly in ATAR will increase again this year for Melbourne arts and science? I think I can barely scrape through with a 91.4 this year, so if it increases... :o

GA1 - High A
GA2 - High A
GA3 - Low A
37-39, most probably 38 though. people who get 37s tend to have a B+ in the mix, while those with 39s usually have an A+ or two in there. Straight As kind of hints at 38, especially in humanities or science subjects

i'm doing BusMan, and ranked possibly 1st or 2nd in a really weak cohort. I have been doing alright in SACs (throughout the year between 80-100), but i don't think they have been 'scaled' or moderated yet.
I just wanted an indication as to how much is required on exams to get a study score between high 30's and low 40's (raw that is).
thank you guys.
Post by: shadows on October 22, 2013, 10:40:19 pm
Your SAC mark will be the highest exam mark in your school, so if you get the highest exam mark, your sac mark will be scaled to that particular exam mark. (Given you are ranked one)
To answer your question. Average As - mid to High 30s
Average of A+ --> 38- 40+

Is it possible to get 50 further if I full mark both exams but I'm not rank 1? I'm about rank 3/100 in a medium cohort.
is there a large margin between you and the top two? if not then it is possible. I seen topics here on AN where people have been rank 2 and still got a 50. And my methods tutor taught a student who was rank 3 and got a 50, but i guess his cohort was strong.

what would 96/110 with medium A+ sacs give me in bio?its hard to tell, since the grade distributions could really be skewed in either direction. BUT I have a feeling that the A+ cut off will realistically teeter along ~90/110, so I'd say a 96/110 and mid A+ sacs would yield about 43-44 maybe?

I'd say 39-41. The range im giving you is intentionally a tad higher than what ive predicted for others with similar exam scores, but thats based entirely on your sacs. Judging by your brilliant sac marks though, I suspect that not only are you underestimating yourself, but because you're rank 1, your sac marks shouldnt go down too much assuming that someone in your cohort gunned it. You may get A LOT higher, so dont worry about it now focus on your next paper :)
EDIT: also, judging by your legendary lit score, I wouldnt second guess myself too much if i were you ;)

dont worry. I think A+ will be 35/40, and an A will be about 30/40
I think with that combo, you'd get 38-40, (since todays exam was the hardest exam 1 in arguably 10 years haha) -> pretty much the same prediction I gave you before. today's exam wasnt only hard for you, but also for the rest of the state. dont fret
All measurements are estimates because I didn't really keep track of them.

its hard to say. yes, you are still in the running for a 50, but you could also get a 49 (which is the LOWEST mark you can get mind you, so i wouldnt even be remotely shaken haha). If the exam was difficult, then you'll most likely get a 50. If it was easy, then a 49 is more probably. In either situation though, you have a shot at a 50 :) Dont worry too much about it now. focus on the future not the past
Haha thanks! Although I have a feeling I'm being too optimistic though. I'll be happy with hopefully getting a 38-39 :)

assuming the A+ cutoff is sitting around the typical 75%, roughly a 72 would be needed for an A+ (and assuming your sacs are around the same, that'll get you a 39). Assuming your self assessment is remotely accurate (which im sure it is), youll get far beyond the 40 mark :D well done again!!

39-40 I'd think. no, since your rank 1, the skill set of your cohort becomes irrelevant to you. You become the holder of your own destiny. not to say that being less than rank 1 is bad in any way (you can get 45+ with any decent rank really), but it detaches you from the limitations of your cohort.

chemistry
SAC's : Rank 1 moderate cohort
Exam : 113/120
this is rather difficult, since I have no precedent to go by. If the exam is super easy, the the cutoffs will be cut-throat (probably 110/120), in which case youll get about 41 with those marks. If the paper is very difficult, like the 09 paper, the A+ cutoff may be around ~96/120 and that may get you a 46 with a 113/120. so all in all 41-46. I know its a massive range haha, but its the best Ive got. Sorry! Chem is one of the few subjects which has cutoffs which fluctuate A LOT, and not knowing what this years exam is like makes it really difficult to predict.

I'm pretty confused with VCAA this year though, they made Specialist, Chemistry and Physics papers so easy, which will make a fuss in all the top high school as losing even one mark will result in a 47-49 SS easily (not mine hahaha, my school is around #300 I bet). Hopefully, next year's students will get a harder paper in those three subjects haha.

Sorry, Im not very good at predicting these, since I dont know how much each GA is worth. But in terms of the sac thing, on a simplistic level, what you said is correct, but that's not exactly what happens since the sac moderation curve isnt linear. What happens is that you keep your own exam mark, but your sacs change in accordance to the corresponding exam mark in the cohort. E.g. your rank 2 right? okay, say the second highest exam mark in the cohort is lower than your raw sac mark. Chances are, your sac marks will go down a little to sort of match the exam result. I hope that kind of makes sense.

Wait; that was 9.5 marks lost over both exams. So, of this is out of 110, wouldn't less be needed (102-103) to get the 50? I mean, considering same level of difficult as you mentioned. Who knows - just got to wait till results come out I guess!

This is what I realized after playing around with some exam scores of people who achieved 50, I'd say 104+ (to be on the safe side) would be sufficient this year for a 50, but then again who knows ;)

9.5 wasn't a 50, but yeah, I was trying to be conservative. Nobody really knows, but around there I'd think :P
Yeah I think being conservative is so much better! Thanks anyway :) just got to wait till the 16th

If those ranked above you have gotten as much or higher than you on the exam, you could be looking at 38+ (for conservative-being sake).

im pretty sure thats its kind of pointless for me to be responding to this now right? haha
I sincerely hope that all of you got what you wanted, and if you scored outside the ranges I provided, I genuinely pray that it was because you exceed your expectations and not otherwise. Congratulations class of 2013! It was a pleasure having done business with you all (via the means of ss prediction) and I look forward to being one of the super cool uni members on the forum alongside all you awesome AN users.

Lol that depends on how well you do in the exams. Since you go to melbourne high, sacs most likely get scaled up.
In terms of exams, it depends on exam difficulty.
It's too early in the year to speculate what atar you get. Anything is still possible.
If you don't work hard you won't get a good score. If you do work hard you will. Simple as that.

Hey yazza, nice job on your studyscore of 40 on bio, I was wondering what you averaged on sacs and the end of year exam, so far I'm averaging 80% on sacs and wondering if it's still possible I could get a studyscore of 40, my average in like 5th highest in the schoolhaha thanks. since u go to melbourne high and you are in the top 5 my prediction would be you will get around 42-45ish. i averaged around 88% for my sacs and they scaled to a+'s. on the end of year exam i didnt do my best but i managed an a.

GA1 99/100I'm gonna say about 49-50. 97/100 is really strong. Jonoz0r (below) got a 49 with 96/100 on the exam last year.

Your SACs will most likely scale up heaps, but I'll do what you asked and assume no scaling. Predicting based off last years exams, you'd get a A (low), A+ (low), A+ (high) which will get you around 38-42 in my opinion. Your SACs are only 33% but make a big difference when you're looking in the 40+ range. PhishPhillet got a 45 with lower exam marks, but his SACs were 100/100.
[edit] this does bring to mind lzxnl - with near perfect exam scores, but with an A for SACs he got a 46, but with an A+ for SACs got a 50. Just something to think about.

I think it has more to do with the comparison of a result with others results. So if you get 100%, it is highly likely to yield a 50 coz you will probably be ranked (equal) first or very close to first. But say if you get 97% and that is the highest mark, than you can get 50 in this case as well.
I might be generalising a bit, but basically the study score is more or even completely about comparison of an individual with others.

But say if you get 97% and that is the highest mark, than you can get 50 in this case as well.It's true. In Further last year, losing 4 marks could bring you down from a 50 to a 46, while in Methods, losing 4 marks would bring you down from a 50 to 49. It's all about how others perform.
GA1: 95/100 Assuming Rank 1!A 79/80 is impossible for Further Exam 1, because it is completely multiple choice, your mark out of 40 is just doubled. If you got 39/40 and 59/60 you'd get a 49. If you get 40/40 and 59/60 you'd get a 50. Pretty straightforward at the 45+ end. :P

At our school, we have 7 further math classes, 2 year 11 extension classes (all of us have done AGM in year 10 - im in this category), and then 5 year 12 classes, no extension.
I cant speak for the year 12 classes, but i know that they are below me. Im about rank 8-10, im on 58/60 after 2 sacs, did stupid things on geo+trig but aced CORE. the people above me/tie with me are all on 58,59s and theirs 2 60s all up. Its most likely myself, and the people above me are going to perform well on the exams (noting that some have already done 20-30 practice exams so far). How will this affect my study score?

Yup! Further Maths becomes so competitive at that end. It's pretty much one study score lost per mark lost. I knew this beforehand and I was able to predict that with my rank 1, I would be looking at a 46 SS.

my most recent GA estimates were so wrong, pls king of study score prediction, predict my english score nowyour sacs and exam are both at a mid-high A, so i'd put you around 35-37. english sacs have a high median score though so i think you'd likely be closer to 35. that said, you're in a selective cohort so you'll probably score much higher than you think - your teachers probably mark pretty harshly.

sorry, same with me.your exam score would usually get you about a 39-40 (with similar good scores on your sacs), but your sac marks will likely drag that up a bit. the a+ cutoff for english sacs is around 84/100, so assuming your marks were post moderation, you might end up with somewhere around a 42-43 i think.

If your SACs scale up to near 100, you will get 48 or above.

About 45-46 if you get that exam score, and if your sacs scale too 99-100%, which they will if you were to get that high in the exam.

I was basing my predictions off last year's biology cohort. A+ cutoff was 93/110 from memory, so a 90/110 would probably place you in the top 10-12% of the state, meaning you'd be nearing a study score of 38-39. On the statement of results thread for 2013, if I recall correctly, 2 students scored 47 and 48 with 104/110 with high A+'s for both GA 1/2. So a 100/110 with a high A for GA 1 and low A+ for GA 2 ~ 44-45 study score.

what causes sacs to be scaled? an overall killer performance from cohort or from rank 1? how does rank 1 affect the scaling off sacs?
thanks
Definitely your ranking within that cohort. I was ranked first in a very poorly-performing cohort. Thus, my SAC marks were moderated according to me being ranked first + my performance on the exam.

This is quite dependent on the year, as last year the final page (8 marks) was answered correctly by very few people, so a lower exam mark was still able to get the same study score in previous years. I would probably predict a 44-46 score for last year, maybe 42-45 for years before that.

Even if it was last year's paper, 47-48 seems considerably inflated when 23 marks are dropped on exam 2. 61.5/80 was the cut off for an A+ last year so a 57/80 coupled with a 40/40 would push a 40-42 I reckon

if im rank one for a subject where 2 gas are sacs, and i get a mid a or high b+ on the exam, while the people below me get a+s how would my score be affected?
Your sac mark is not actually recorded, just your rank. So if your sac mark was 97/100 and was rank 1, but didn't rank 1 in the exam (say, 85%) while the top ranked exam mark was 94%, then your sac marks become 94/100 and exam 85%, which is higher than what it would have been if you ranked 1 in both with those scores.

Assuming that someone's results were B/B+s all round for Methods (but the SACs were quite difficult), would that be a SS of around 34?
Assuming no scaling and similar marks across SACs and exams, I foresee around 32-36. The harsh reality, though, is that even if you see the SACs as "quite difficult", that doesn't mean they are an example of the harder school SACs. (why I've assumed no scaling)

alright so i gauging that ranking/sac scores has very small impact on your study score due to the weighting vs exam. so usually 1 mark on the exam lost is 1 study score?
Yep. I was ranked first, 100% SAC mark average, 4 marks lost, 4 study scores lost, 46.

I personally don't think that'll yield a 50 personally. Its a great mark, and surely itll scale to 50 or more. Not raw however. He may well get a 50 at the end of the year, but not with a 340/400. Thats 60 marks off full marks

44-47 methinks. EAL has a pretty large A+ range though, so its hard to say with certainty (its like from 300/400 to 400/400 which is so large that your SS could vary

without what you think you'll get in the exams, I can't give you any study score values, because sac marks moderate according to the exam marks of you/your cohort. So without that information, you may get between 0 and 50 with the marks you've given for each of those subjects :) Just include your exam results (potential) and Ill be more than happy to whip up some predictions accordingly

106/110 is a mid-high A+ your looking at about 44-47 (depends on ranking)Nah I reckon A+ is top end A+. Last year something like 105 got you 50, and last year's paper was considered 'easy' because it was the first year of the new study design, so the cutoffs were higher.
If you actually manage those scores in the exams (which is a lot harder than it seems due to how tight the bio markers are) you're on track to high forties/ 50, depending on how the SACs get scaled.

Depending on how those above you go really. If they blitz the paper, and get above 105+, you could be looking at 46-47. I got 101/110, rank 1 and got 47.

What happens if i score the highest? does rank 1 get my exam score as their sac score etc..?
even if i ace the exam and get the highest will i be looking at 50? and 1 mark lost gets me 48-49 if im not wrong?

If you get full marks for both exams, and the people above you don't do that well, it'll drag you down. However, it's approximately 1 mark lost = 1 study score down in Further; that's actually if you're ranked first.
That's Further Maths for you - the shittest subject in my opinion.

welcome, that being said, it's always good to aim for higher as a safety precaution if 25 is your pre-req! there's plenty of time :)

Because I'm ranked 4-5 (fairly behind) lets say I actually get mid to high A+, how does that affect my sac scores or the people ranked above me?

Sac 1: 38% this sac is 10% of 33%
Sac 2: 49% this sac is 10% of 33%
Sac 3: 85% this sac is 40% of 33%
Sac 4: 68% this sac is 20% of 33%
Sac 5: 85% this sac is 20% of 33%
One of my teachers, who judged by my sac marks said i wouldn't get a good study score, and i personally want to know if that is true or not. I've worked a shit loads during the holidays and the first 2 sacs were about functions and Circular functions, i kept getting teacher changes and didn't know when specific sacs were, so they were surprise sacs. But all i want to convey is that I've worked really hard and i'm almost certain ill get in the high 90s for exam 1 and probably 70% or more on exam 2. People say sacs are basically a ranking of you in the class, and i can be certain, according to my Math teacher that i'm in the top 10 of the class, or even higher. People have scored in the low 20s for the sac, but i'm definitely certain i'm in the top 10 out of 23-25 students in year 12 methods in my school. I want to know what study score i would get if these circumstances were the actual case. I will ask my Methods teacher soon, but i want a quick indication from this website about what my study score is. I really need this information and i will be grateful for your time.

Using last year's statistics, you might get somewhere between 30-35, depending on your cohort.
Do not trust this though. You could get much better with lots of motivation and practice. (Also, I'm not good at predicting. This is my first time trying, so don't count on it being right.)

VCAA can go EITHER way this year. They either realised last year was the best way to separate students and so they'll pull a 2013, OR, they'll realise that last year's paper was generally found to be quite difficult and so make this year's exam more standard. That's my assumption though. I hope it's as difficult as last year's for that elusive SCALING!

Keep in mind is assessing panel changed and that's why there's such a discrepancy between the older VCAAs and the newer ones.

Definitely agree for Bio and Chem (don't know about Legal).

Methods was harder than usual last year, so my prediction (please take this with a grain of salt) is that it will be easier than last year, so what Yacoubb said, but still have some difficult aspects to it, as per usual.
I believe that because we're the second year with both units of work in the one/two exams, depending on subject, this leeway will be near zilch, if anything... because VCAA loves us, don't they?

Why do you reckon so? Wasn't last year's exam hard? I mean I want it to be the same level of difficulty; however, I believe that it may be slightly easier than last year's exam.Well, looking at A+ Methods cutoffs over the past few years (procrastinating a little...):
Year: Exam 1, Exam 2
2006: 37.5/40, 73.5/80
2007: 34.5/40, 62.5/80
2008: 37.5/40, 63.5/80
2009: 37.5/40, 69.5/80
2010: 36.5/40, 66/80
2011: 34/40, 64/80
2012: 36.5/80, 61.5/80
2013: 36/40, 61.5/80
So the cutoffs for A+ have been generally decreasing over the last few years, indicating harder exams. I think this years methods will be either similar or slightly easier (a tiny bit) - like if VCAA had made 4c from last years exam 2 a "Show that" question, that would be the sort of "slightly easier" exam and make it much more accessible to students.
Personally, I'm hoping for a much harder set of specialist exams, the cutoffs have been so scary the past few years.

Isnt that what I said? Methods will probably stay about the same level as last year
I am going to have to agree here. I sat the Methods paper in 2013. Here's the thing, holistically speaking, the exam not insane or like quantum mechanics(when you compared it to papers like NEAP, TSFX and Kilbaha), but yeah, it was the most difficult VCAA paper I had done. The exam was relatively straight-forward for the most part, i.e. the multiple-choice was what I was expecting, as was the most of the extended answer. BUT, the reason why most people say it was difficult is due to that very last question. Personally speaking, I couldn't understand what the question wanted me to do. I think last year was at a similar difficulty to the other years (slightly greater), but the issue was, the question was phrased in a really perplexing way that confused so many students, including myself. The thing is everything after 4c was a blur. The most unforgiving part was that if you didn't get 4c it would be really difficult to get the rest (you needed to think of something really good if you were looking for consequential marks). So bam, 8 marks gone for so many students already.
In my opinion the exam will probably be of a similar difficulty, but I imagine that they'll probably phrase things a lot better and not make it so that you lose 8
marks if you can't get the first point of the question. And if you've done enough practise exams, know your stuff and they've phrased it well, you'll be set.

Note that this was being rather general and not really specific.I wasn't referring to you!

Post by: dankfrank420 on October 28, 2014, 08:52:59 pm
last year's bio was easy... :-\
Hey mate don't fret about it. Infact, it will probably be better for you anyway.
Examiners need ways to separate students. So when exams are easier, obviously there are more students who understand more concepts. To make up for this, VCAA markers will be stringent on responses so many students will lose marks for simple things like expression, which in many subjects like bio is as important as understanding the underlying concept.
If the exams are harder, VCAA markers don't need to be as stringent on responses and hence are less likely to ping you for making slight errors in expression. This is better for the smart students, as it allows them to better separate themselves from those who don't really understand the concepts.

My tutor who's pretty knowledgable about these things said that its unlikely that methods will get much easier. It could fluctuate a bit, sure, but the general trend has been harder exams. So I'd say expect a hard exam, not that thats a bad thing because hard=/= inaccessible. It just means the top end is separated better

last year 102/110 = 47

methods has a fair few people (like the 1-2% that got the last question in exam 2 last year) in the high 70s and 80s so id be hesitant to put it at a 48 (but its possible depending on the distributions)
youre well above the A+ cut off though so you'd get no lower than 43
also from what my teacher has said from marking, methods has a LOT(you know, relatively) of kids who JUST get A+, so because you are about at the halfway mark between the A+ cut off and full marks, but methods has a pretty big grouping in the Low A+ area:
id call it a 46

I just did the 2013 exam
methods
Exam 1 40/40
EXam 2 75/80
Sacs a+
Probably 47-48, I lost 5.5 over both exams and pulled a 48, so losing 5 on the exams should get you easily 47-48 depending on how your SACs are.
Can anyone do mine?
Methods
GA 1 : 85/100 raw
GA 2: 38/40
GA 3: 71/80
Specialist
GA 1: 80/100
GA 2: 37/100
GA 3: 70/80
Cheers!
Methods, you're looking maybe 43-45 depending on difficulty of exams.
For Spesh, with last years exams that'd get you around 39-41, yep Spesh is that competitive...

You could get up to 45, but more realistically probably 42-43. Depends on the exams difficulty this year though
Post by: mik33 on November 02, 2014, 04:27:09 pm
you'd get 37-39 with that depending how hard the exam is that year
So I stuffed up my chance of anything in the 40's with the exam mark?

So I stuffed up my chance of anything in the 40's with the exam mark?im sorry i must have multiplied it wrong in my head, my bad !
i think you are looking at around 40/41, last year i had an exam mark 1 mark higher, and my GA1 was 97 instead of your 92, my GA2 was 96 opposed to your 98 and i got 41, so you would be looking at about 40/41 id say
Post by: dankfrank420 on November 02, 2014, 05:10:08 pm
Indeed I am. How can I possibly predict this years study score when I don't even know the grade dist? It can move down or even stay the same.
Anyway, those scores are awesome, well done!
Thanks!
I think you needed to hit at least 98-99/110 to get 45+ last year. I scored 101/110 for a 47. Only 1.5 marks up and you'd get to 48. As you can see, it gets seriously competitive at the 45+ range.
not too sure on this years difficulty, but since 45+ is top 2% scores for that range are unlikely to change too much
last year 102/110 = 47
102.5/110 = 48
(with near full marks for sacs)
so past 45 is reallllyyyy competitive, I think 105 was a 50 IIRC, will have to ask psyxwar
Only really looking for 40+, so do you reckon I'd be assured atleast a 40?

For Biology is it possible to get a raw study score of 40-42 with these scores
GA 1= 95/100 A+
GA 2= 89/100 A

We don't get told our ranks but I'm guessing I'm around the top somewhere. Is 40 possible?

GA3: B+ or possibly Low A if I do well (7/6/7, or 7/7/7)
Cohort is on the stronger side for english, but I'm assuming my rank is in the middle, or just slightly above that the middle.
Further:

They must've had pretty bad SACs because I remember someone with 37/40 and ~77/80 getting a 48. A 77 on last year's exam with full marks on exam 1 was enough for a 50.

If you guys are really, really interested, below is a list of methods study scores based on Statement of Study Score from last year:
(spoilers aren't working for me so here's the list)
GA 1- Raw: 95 -> Scaled: 99
GA 2- 40/40
GA 3- 77.5/80
SS:50 (2.5 marks lost)
GA1: 95 ~> 100
GA2: 74/80 (37/40)
GA3: 155/160 (77.5/80)
Study Score: 48 (5.5 marks lost)
GA 1- 100->100Taken from: Statement of Marks/Study Score Thread 2013
GA 2- 36/40 (wat?)
GA 3- 72.5/80
SS:45 (11.5 marks lost)
So this might help out if you're wondering what sort of study score you'd be looking at around the 45+ range.
Post by: Zealous on November 05, 2014, 07:28:09 pm
So I'm ridiculously bored of studying (my first exam is on friday) so I used last years graded assessment data + statements of study score + a cubic regression to set up a graph which can estimate some study scores based on total exam marks.
Link: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/kxpfx9qu2c - Just drag the 'a' slider based on your estimated total exam mark. Though, take it as a grain of salt as it could be completely off! (and it assumes you're SACs will scale perfectly with your exam marks)
All the best for tomororow's exam 2!

Yeah you've definitely got a good shot at a 50. Most likely a 50 with 39/40, and you'd be extremely unlikely to not get a 50 (a 49) with 38/40 unless the A+ cutoffs are extremely high this year.

39/40 with an 80/80 will definitely get you a 50.
38/40 with an 80/80 will most likely get you a 50, given rank 1 SACs with good scaling.

Post by: monjaz on November 08, 2014, 05:41:24 pm
GA1: I averaged between low to mid 70's but in a very strong cohort (top 5 in state). Within that average in the 70's however, there were very strong marks for the sacs that counted most (these of which contribute to 80% of total SAC mark) and I feel that would bring me up and has put me in a better position ranking-wise. Might also point out that sacs will most definitely be scaled up as has been the case in the past few years at my school.
GA2: 36 or 37/40
GA3: Between 63-65/80 (unfortunately I lost 5 very avoidable marks which has bummed me out a little)
Sorry for being quite unclear, but I would appreciate any answers! :)

Wow you are so smart! I see you post scores this high all the time, I'm pretty sure you must get sick of hearing '50' with such good marks! I think you might even get Premier's Award! How are you so smart?
Post by: Yacoubb on November 10, 2014, 08:47:34 pm
I don't think he would get premier's with 6 marks dropped in Chemistry - I think that would just become a 50.
But his 10/10/9 for English might be premiers though. Not sure, it's only a PREDICTION though

Well, some people, like me, are curious to know how many marks one able to lose to get a 50, or a 45, or a 40, or a 35 e.t.c. So this thread isn't just used as a prediction, but also as a guide ... And that's what Yacoub has been doing, and he has the right to do that.
With these guides, we can set goals for the exams, I think it is an excellent approach and everyone should be able to do it without copping shit from everyone. This is a AtarNotes, it's supposed to be supportive.
I think anymore discussion of this should stop here. Good luck everyone!

What happens is as you're getting closer to 30, because of the normal distribution curve, you're going to get a larger spread of marks for each study score.
I think you have a very real chance of a 33 :)

I not to sure about the study score system for chem and bio, but for methods with a strong exam 2 (70/80), you'll probably get high 30s like around 38-41 (if lucky). If not for a low exam 1 score like maybe around 37/40, I would have predicted at least 41. But don't worry exam 2 is double the weighting of exam 1, so you'll probably get close to 40.

Would I be correct in thinking that mid-B+ SACs in a medium-strong cohort for methods, along with 31-33/40 GA2 and 65-70/80 GA3 would get me around a 35?
yup :) As exam two is worth more a 65/80 would probably get you around a 36 maybe even slightly higher, and a 70/80 would yield a 40-41. But yeah you’ll get at least a 35.

if you got 39/40 and 60/60, you'll get 50, almost no question about it. in the latter scenarios, it is a little less likely. if you get 58-59 in exam 2, you are looking at a 49. If you are really unlucky, a 48

This is kind of confusing for us to predict because in methods unlike other subjects, Sacs combined are only counted as GA 1 whereas in other subjects unit 3 is GA 1 and unit 4 is GA 2. In methods GA 2 is Exam 1 which is out of 40 but the mark is doubled to out of 80 and in GA 3 Exam 2 which is out of 80 but doubled to out of 160.

48/60 is the cutoff for a 40, and people on this forum have achieved a 50 with 57/60 in the past. Then again, the value of predicting study scores based upon expected exam and SAC results prior to actually beginning year 12 might be somewhat limited. I certainly wouldn't say that one can be certain of 40+ in every subject, especially before you have actually completed the exams. I'd be careful, Appleandbee, of becoming over-confident or complacent, there are thousands of students working very diligently to achieve a 40 or higher in all the subjects you listed. However, that is not to say you won't, just a reminder to, if you would excuse the cliché, perhaps hold off on counting your chickens so early in the VCE cycle, as Ned warned in his introductory post.

wholeheartedly agree with this guy here ^^
But also, when someone suggests that a worse case scenario is ~40, i'd be very inclined to believe that they belong to one of those families where a ~40 score is truly the start of a journey to living hell :( , where, for a lot of us, a ~40 score is a dream.
And in those situations, while hundreds of students are working hard for a ~40, there are also hundreds of like minded students working hard for a ~45 or a 50 :/, different perspectives, really :)

Post by: appleandbee on December 04, 2014, 11:48:26 pm
1. I'll admit that I have not done a three hour exam before (have only done a two hour one), so I'm kind of daunted by the prospect of writing for three hours straight with a sore hand :-\, even as a reasonably good English student, this is uncharted waters for me. It's just that English is such an important subject, as I love analysing ideas and themes so it's a subject I put a lot of effort to and hopefully be rewarded. For a couple of English teachers at my school their median student score is above 4o, and one teacher even told me he has never had a student that got below 35.
2. I've legits put my heart and soul into teaching myself the conceptual framework of the 3/4 methods curriculum, so that I get a really good understanding rathner than rote-learning concepts. Obviously I can't predict what happens in exams as sometimes 'shit happens' :(, but I've done a couple of practice exams with similar scores as per mentioned. I'll be a little crushed if I didn't get a really high score like 48.
3. For Spesh and Economics I do have a couple of grey areas in the 3/4 curriculum that I need to patch up on, before I get those scores per mentioned to be honest. I looked at some of the Spesh exam papers and got a minor heart attack from some of the questions they asked. It's just that I have to do really well in Economics because I CAN'T rely on Chemistry in my top 4, even though Chem is probably more related to my future expectations, plus I have a really deep interest in Economics so much I even started reading it in year 10 :P.
4. I'm really sorry for implying that scores 40 or above could be considered a 'worst outcome' I just didn't really know any other way to put it at the time, but lets just say 'not the most preferable outcome for me'. Yeah I know a score of 40 is by no means bad, and that most students would kill for one. I do not take a score like that for granted especially having already done a ¾ this year Revs where I would consider myself extremely fortunate and would be over the moon if I get a 42 (don’t think I can get any more than that). I’m even kinda prepared to get sub 30s in any of my subjects lol, and I’m actually super nervous for my results, I’m not actually confident at all (crying all the time about it :'(). I even think about repeating year 12 sometimes and all the subjects I didn't do well in. I just feel that that my future in weighing in the balance of those four subjects, as the MAXIMUM score I could get for my other two subjects Revs and Chemistry is 42. Revs 42 might actually happen hopefully, whereas a Chemistry 42 is more like a pipeline dream, but one can work hard and hope :).
Once again sorry to all I have offended in any way.
Post by: nikegod on December 05, 2014, 12:08:47 am
Once again sorry to all I have offended in any way.
I think you have misunderstood my post; this isn't about me, this is about you. Please don't read this as hostile, I'm just a little bit concerned for you!
I'll be a little crushed if I didn't get a really high score like 48.
I don't think anyone was offended in the slightest by your post, just concerned that you were placing unreasonable standards upon yourself, and causing unnecessary stress before even commencing year 12. The difference between 45 and 48 is all but negligible in terms of ability, study practices, intelligence etc.
Dropping one or two silly marks is all that it takes, so setting yourself up for intense disappointment if you don't fall in the top 0.5% of the subject cohort is perhaps a little unreasonable. You really ought to consider your own wellbeing during the coming year - certainly try your best, but don't lead into the year feeling that every SAC will profoundly affect your future, and that any mistakes will shatter your dreams. I've seen people adopt a similar mindset, and have significant issues with anxiety and stress during the year as a result.
I’m not actually confident at all (crying all the time about it :'(). I even think about repeating year 12 sometimes and all the subjects I didn't do well in.
This is what I was referring to, you haven't even begun year 12 but you are experiencing all the symptoms of excessive stress and anxiety derived from towering expectations. I have pretty high aspirations myself, but I have yet to really experience any emotional issues, and certainly not so far away from the exam period. I just don't know if such a high level of stress is sustainable (thanks psych 3/4 ;)), and want to make sure that you don't fixate so strongly on 50s that you burn out before really being able to reach your potential.
Anyway, you know yourself much better than I do, but if you think this word of warning has any truth to it, perhaps give it a little thought :)
Good luck!
Edit: reading over this again, it seems pretty overbearing - it is really none of my business. Please excuse that :)

You are quite right. Probably a 26-28. The C+ cutoff was approximately 125/300 for GA3 last year, and the median for physics is usually a B (cutoff 159/300)
While I do post mere predictions here, they are not guesses. I put a lot of thought into each one using data from previous years. No stabbing in the dark, since that can be misleading.

BIOLOGY: 89% average in SACS, ranked 2nd in a weak cohort and an A on the exam. What SS would I be looking at?<40 is my guess (I haven't guessed many so take it with a grain of salt!). I say this mainly because of the exam score, you'd usually have to get above an A to get in the 40's especially if it's a weak cohort :)

BIOLOGY: 89% average in SACS, ranked 2nd in a weak cohort and an A on the exam. What SS would I be looking at?
Depends on what type of A it is.
Very high A (like 1-2 marks below A+) and assuming that you got ranked unfairly (that is, you're ranked 2 but there's people better than you below you), you'll get 40-42.

Well of course Im aiming for 80/80 man, but I like to do the worst case scenario, so that I don't get too disappointed when I get my result. Know what I mean? I mean it's not like im sitting here and saying I need 72/80, no more no less. But honestly isn't 80/80 depending on the luck of the day, like the difficulty of the exam?

Definitely, you're rank 1 that's all that matters as far as sacs go. Even then, 50 is still possible even if you're not rank one, e.g. two years ago at my school someone got a 50 who wasn't rank one (and the person who did get rank one didn't, he got 47iirc), meaning chances are she did it without 100 scaled sacs.

What does getting three A's of a LOTE equal to (e.g. German)? (with the SAC marks being scaled to an A)
I heard the scaling's a bit lower/different for LOTEs cos even three A+'s can't guarantee a 40 or something, right?
I'm terrible at predictions but from looking at the grade distributions of LOTEs in general there is a real negative skew in the scores for Lote subjects, because so many people are crowded around A-A+ range (probably cause so many are fluent, and that in general more academically sided people would be more likely to do a LOTE), so yeah three A+s doesn't really guarantee anything.

Depends on the difficulty of the exam, if it’s on the easier end 43-44 sounds reasonable (maybe 45) judging from friends that scored in the high 40s. It’s also not just about the total marks lost; it’s about the number of marks lost in each exam, as exam 2 has a higher weighting than exam one.

Post by: appleandbee on June 05, 2015, 11:22:50 pm
Thanks guys :D
But how come Specialist is pretty low in comparison to methods?
Fewer students do Spesh compared to methods (4000-5000), which means a higher percentage of the Spesh cohort are competent maths students, but with only the same percentage of students as in methods getting a certain band of grades (eg. 35 and above, 40 and above). Generally around a 37-38.5/40 is required for an A+ in Exam 1 and 72-74/80 for an A+ in Exam 2, A+ in both exams will generally yield a 39+ study score as long as SACS are reasonably good. In methods the A+ cut-offs are lower 35-37/40 for exam 1 and 65-68/80 for exam 2. So yeah, getting a 40+ raw score is Spesh is competitive but scaling makes up for the disparity, which would make your Methods and Spesh score after scaling, quite similar in the end.

2013 (in arguably one of the most difficult years), losing 8 marks was sufficient for 47/48 with full scaled SACs.
2008 or maybe 2009? (in one of the easiest years), losing 8 marks was around 42
Personally last year (2014) I dropped 11 and got 42, so losing 8 would be around ~44

Maybe not thaaat many marks, I lost around 5 and got a 48 with full scaled SACs. But it's true, methods has done funny things in recent years (scaling over 50 and exam difficulty) so it can be difficult to predict study scores.
If anyone is bored here's a graph to play with (for 2013): https://www.desmos.com/calculator/kxpfx9qu2c
So yeah, getting a 40+ raw score is Spesh is competitive but scaling makes up for the disparity, which would make your Methods and Spesh score after scaling, quite similar in the end.
Yep absolutely right! After scaling I ended up with very similar scores for both the subjects.
The difficulty of the Spesh exams has been pretty annoying though. They're not as difficult as they should be and VCAA gives away many marks. I found the 2013 Methods exams harder than my 2014 Spesh exams.. in recent years you could almost say Specialist has just become Further but with scaling to 55 because 1 mark can cost you a study score when you need over 73/80 for an A+.

Cheers.
In short, yes it is to lose such marks if you aren't careful. The questions in the VCAA exams aren't too difficult from the looks of things but there are a few questions which don't appear as "routine" questions to say the least which can trip up people if they aren't careful (take Q7a in the 2014 VCAA exam where it was worth 1 mark but 96% scored 0 on it :O ).
In terms of that meaning a lot, in 2014 for Exam 1, the A+ cut-off was 75-80/80 or rather 37.5-40/40 so that one mark lost would only give you another 1.5 marks leeway in the A+ region (even then it would be a low A+ but let's just leave it at that :P )

As IndefatigableLover said, it's easy to lose marks for careless mistakes, same goes for the other maths subjects.
In terms of predictions, probably around 37. GA1 falls under a low end A. Also taking into account the effects of cohort, although it's probably going to be minimal because you are rank 1.

Do you have an idea of your ranking for 90% sacs (i.e. an indication)? If rank one, I'd say that'd have potential for 48, otherwise i'd say 46-47.

hmm then honestly it depends on the cohort's performance, although there should still be two more sacs iirc that should give you the opportunity to bump your ranking up :)
If most of the people ranked higher than you get exam scores similar to the ones you posted you should be fine anyway, and for subjects like math, imo, it's pretty rare that people will perform drastically worse on the exam if they have been destroying sacs.

I'm not too sure how competitive JSL is, (going to assume quite competitive cause all LOTES are :P ), and looking at previous grade distributions the A+ grade distribution (which seems to be ~top 12%) fluctuates a fair bit. I'm pretty sure that'd give you 40+ (probs low 40s if last year, but if 2013 or earlier then 45+ imo) but it all depends on how well the rest of the state goes simply because the marks for this subject change so much.
Although if you look at the past statistics, last year seems to be almost 'outlierish' in that the other grade distributions are much different (i.e 2011-2013)..

It really affected their results last year as Methods scaled to 52 in 2013 but not in 2014.

A GA is the sac score after it has been moderated with the exam scores of the cohort, so then how are people able to calculate there GA here? Like are they just giving their sac average?

Its not.. but the thread itself is 'Prediction' thus the GAs can be presumed to be estimated moderated marks or their own schools GA before moderation.

No, I was being serious about the average thing. Because different sacs weigh differently (theres usually a big one and some small ones), and Im curious as to whether when we put our GA1 on here, do we put the simple average or are we meant to calculate the weighted score?

That website suggests Melbourne High, but I still struggle to see how they have less than 20 students in an Eng Lang cohort when i'm pretty sure they have 40-50 at the minimum every year.
Oh crap, my bad...
GA1 is the average for the whole year (81/100)
GA2: 35/40
GA3: 72/80
Is that better?
Yes. Having your rank would be even better though. I'm going to assume MHS for the sake of discussion and 81 scales to 95.
That gets you 41-43.
No, I was being serious about the average thing. Because different sacs weigh differently (theres usually a big one and some small ones), and Im curious as to whether when we put our GA1 on here, do we put the simple average or are we meant to calculate the weighted score? If you don't know, ill just wait for hamo94 to enlighten me xD
Divide your sac scores and calculate in terms of their percentage. I.e if a SAC is worth 10% of your overall SAC mark, make that 8.7/10 or something for 87% on that SAC.
Add it all together and you get something out of 100. That's your Pre-scaling score.
Can someone please predict?

I'm not sure where your teacher got the strongest in the state label from, where do you go to? :)Regarding those links you posted, my school is ranked between 19-21 according to those rankings, would this mean my SACs would get scaled up for physics?

Edit: apologies for not contributing anything of substance, i don't know much about the subjects above
Unless you go to MHS, which is probably the strongest physics cohort, but they have the strongest cohort in basically every asian 5 subject (and i'm pretty sure there's more than 19 kids in the MHS eng lang cohort) :)

Regarding those links you posted, my school is ranked between 19-21 according to those rankings, would this mean my SACs would get scaled up for physics?
It just means that your Scaling will be good from 40+ onwards. That means, say you have 10 students who get 40+, then the scaling will be nice if you're in the top 10.
Outside of that, no one really knows :)
Edit: That ranking page is pretty poor in a lot of instances outside the top schools, because it's under the assumption of highest scores > many 40+ scores.
I.e Rowville Secondary > Glen Waverley because they had a 50 student (creds to mod zealous) and GWS didn't have a 50 but 20 40+ scores. Can't really compare on that front.

For an A+ last year you needed 96/110, but that is the borderline A+. Not sure if even 96 would get you a 40 cos im not into this stuff so much as others, but i have heard if you get an A+ on your exam, you are in a good run for 40+. To answer your earlier question, 96 is obviously the low A+, 103/110 is mid and you know what high A+ is xD

Very few of us do BM, so we won't be able to give an inherently accurate guess.
Your GA1&2 aren't very specific either, so it doesn't help anyone giving predictions.
A little guess though would be something like 42-44.

Hate SS predictions like the plague and there's no such thing as an 'inherently accurate guess' anyway :P, but barging in because that seems a bit harsh. With mid-high A+ exam and solid rank 1, I would've thought more like 46ish. With high A+, higher. Don't know how competitive the subject is though, if very competitive maybe more like 44+.
Post by: Orb on August 03, 2015, 03:46:13 pm

Fair point, they are a bit redundant, but it's more of a method of assuaging one's fears and hence these topics retain their momentum.
there's no such thing as an 'inherently accurate guess' anyway
Yeah, not until you actually sit the exam. After you do, you can have a more accurate grasp (if it was a terribly tough exam and you figure that you only lost a mark, then sure you'll be getting 50 99% of the time.

spec - not sure (as in i didnt do this subject, so I don't know who the marks work)
**Since you go to a select entry school those marks should scale up. I went to a select entry school as well and got in the 70s for most of my sacs in nearly all my subjects and they scaled to high 90s. You are doing fine!
To get a 40 in chemistry aim for high 80s in the exam (so at least 86-88%). Methods for exam 1 also aim high 80s, and for exam 2 you can still get a 40 with a 75% (although it depends on the difficulty of exam 2).

55% in the exam and those Sac scores gives you a 30 I think. So 65-70% will give you mid 30s, so 34-35ish. Low to mid 30s..

55% in the exam and those Sac scores gives you a 30 I think. So 65-70% will give you mid 30s, so 34-35ish. Low to mid 30s..
oh that's actually alright
thank you!!!

Thanks a lot Rod.
I'm slightly skeptical though; A 30 in Chem with the results I have in a BELOW AVERAGE COHORT? Same with Biology and English. I think you may have misread that part. (Below average as in 'TAFE below average bad')
Post by: Rod on August 31, 2015, 09:04:17 pm
Thanks a lot Rod.Hey, those scores are assuming that your SAC scores stay the same. It is way too hard to determine how your SACS will scale.... And also, even if you are in a bad cohort, if you stay rank 1 or smash the exam your SAC scores won't change too much, they can even go up.

So yeah don't worry too much about SAC scores etc, just try to knuckle down 2 more months of hard work at smash those exams.
If your SAC scores scale down for English and biology and you still get those kind of exam scores, you still should be able to get 40-42 in english and 37-40 in biology.
For chemistry however if your SAC scores go down a lot you might be looking at 25-30.
Hope that helps! Best of luck for the year!

And those study scores should comfortably get you 75+ :)

SS of 42
SS of 45
If possible what would be the scores required in the exams were out of 150 (75 for Unit 3 & 75 for Unit 4)
Thankyou
A friend got 101/110 and amazing SAC scores and got 47.
(2013 exam)
So from that, you should be able to get a 45 with 98-101/110 you would think. 42 get 95/110 at least..
Hope that helps

But a 7 in each essay with those SAC scores should get you 35-36. But then an 8 in each exam should let you just crack the 40.
So 35-40

Could I please have a couple of study score predictions -
Religion and Society

Unit 4 = Currently 50/50 (But have one SAC left).
Exam = 65% OR 70% OR 75% OR 80% OR 85% OR 90% (I know there are several, but please do all).
Rank = 1 in a relatively medium cohort of about 20.
NOTE: I presume my SACs will get scaled down a bit, but I don't think it will be drastic.
Psychology
Unit 3 = 80/100
Unit 4 = 87/100
Exam = 65% OR 70% OR 75% OR 80% OR 85% OR 90% (I know there are several, but please do all).
Rank = 1/2 in a relatively medium cohort of about 10.
NOTE: My cohort isn't really strong, however my teacher is (and has said) that he is a tough marker, and in previous years, his SACs have been scaled up.

That's a tough one. The 130/150 would be a low A+ (last two years A+ cut was 128 and 129.5). I would say about a 37 to 40.

I am a bit hesitant to ask but I have heard that if you don't get a scaled A+ for every GA then you can max get a 46! Not. A bad study score at all but can anyone confirm if this is true?
Like for psych
GA1 - after scaling High A like 87/100 if that qualifies
GA2 - After Scaling High A+ like 99/100
GA3 - exam High A+

Thanks guys!if you get those scores youll probably get around 46
I am a bit hesitant to ask but I have heard that if you don't get a scaled A+ for every GA then you can max get a 46! Not. A bad study score at all but can anyone confirm if this is true?
Like for psych
GA1 - after scaling High A like 87/100 if that qualifies
GA2 - After Scaling High A+ like 99/100
GA3 - exam High A+

Hi guys,
Could I please have a couple of study score predictions -
Religion and Society
Unit 3 = 100/100
Unit 4 = Currently 50/50 (But have one SAC left).
Exam = 80% OR 85% OR 90% (Please do all).
Rank = 1 in a relatively medium cohort of about 20.
NOTE: I presume my SACs will get scaled down a bit, but I don't think it will be drastic.
Psychology
Unit 3 = 80/100
Unit 4 = 85/100
Exam = 85% OR 90% (Please do both).
Rank = 1/2 in a relatively medium cohort of about 10.
NOTE: My cohort isn't really strong, however my teacher is (and has said) that he is a tough marker, and in previous years, his SACs have been scaled up.

If 1 and 2 do well, your sac marks should scale to 100% then u will 50, Either way its probably a 50, if not then its worst case scenario, u get a 49. Good luck!

Hey everyone. How many marks can you lose in the Physics exam (out of 150) to get a 50? I'm pretty sure I'm rank 1...
I wouldn't want to lose more than 2 marks if I was going for a 50
How are you tracking in your practice exams?
Post by: n.a on October 14, 2015, 08:54:57 pm
Further Maths
Rank 7 (Cohort strong at the top 10 or so, but somewhat weak after that).
My SAC average is around 87.25%.
If I somehow managed to get full marks on both exams, or dropped only 1 mark, what would be my max SS?
I know expecting full marks is unreasonable, especially after my average and ranking, but I am trying very hard and my average only dropped because of one VERY bad and tired morning, so I understand the risks associated with overestimating myself.
Thanks!

I wouldn't want to lose more than 2 marks if I was going for a 50From the five full exams I've done: 68% --> 72% --> 75% --> 78% --> 87%
How are you tracking in your practice exams?
I know this isn't the form of a 50 student...however, I do feel that if I keep going like this I can do kinda well. I think I'm at that point where now I've seen nearly every type question, and it is just really dumb mistakes at the moment.
It's weird because I used to be really bad at Physics...now I need to work on Methods, English and Further!

Post by: Orson on October 14, 2015, 10:38:16 pm
Share some of your wisdom. hahaha. I need it!
Okay...so here we go...
- I stopped making notes and chapter summaries. Those did nothing. I did that for my Motion SAC, and I ended up getting 57%, then some time later for Electric Power, I got 94% by doing paper after paper.
- I analyse all my mistakes. I do the questions again in a different color, and if I'm still not sure about it, on the cheat sheet it goes! Actually, even if I'm just a bit unsure, I put it on my cheat sheet.
- I put heaps of questions on my cheat sheet, like HEAPS. A quarter of my sheet are module summaries with the formulae. The rest are just random questions that I struggle with.
- I've put model answers on all my sheets. Eg. Youngs DSE, Split Ring vs Slip Rings. Put something down on X-Ray Photons vs Electrons...it's bound to turn up somewhere...
- I've got all my derived formulae on there
- I've done HEAPS of questions...heaps of exams (UNIT 3/4 spilt). How many papers have you done? How are you going in terms of marks?
That's about it...if you want anything more specific, I might be able to help you with that. If people want to see my cheat sheet, I might post a picture up on the Physics forum. I know this isn't 50 material, but I need a really good score to boost me up. As I'm doing really bad at Methods, Physics looks like the one. Anyway, if you need any help...ask me...or anyone...
Just work on it and you'll be fine...there's plenty of time till the Physics exam. I dragged myself up from like 50ish%, it can be done!

I believe I'm rank 2 for unit 3 and rank 1 for unit 4 in a relatively average cohort of 10 students.
My school's average study score is literally 30, however in previous years, my teachers SACs have been marked up by a couple of marks (because he is a hard marker).
Is this enough for a 40?

Given your relatively poor SAC scores (given you want to full mark the exam) I'd say a 48.
Not to say 88% is bad or anything, it's quite a good achievement in an of itself. However, if you want a 50, then you'd need to be near the very very top (think about how many kids in your cohort will get a 50).

That's okay, I knew my 50 was out the window the moment I mentally blanked during my SAC, so that's a given. 48?! I'm really quite pleased with that! I'm guessing that's a bit optimistic, though, but anyways...thank you! :)

With such good sac scores, why do you have such low expectations on the exam?
However, with a 40/60 = SS39, 44/60 maybe SS41, and 46/60 you're looking at a 42-43.
Good luck =)

umm... a 40/60 is about a 34 SS, 44/60-36 SS and 46/60-37-38SS
SAC scores is English aren't always a good indicator of performance in the exam because school have different conditions (many students receive prompts beforehand) and the marking style varies. Like in my school, SAC averages hovers around high 60s to low 70s% (before exam moderation) but the exam average is a low A+.

our SAC conditions were pretty fair and marking is consistent but our SACs are likely to scale down because the exam average is definitely not a low A+...

Last year losing 11.5 marks across both exams and 96/100 sacs was a 42 (not sure whether high end or low end)
cheers bro :) so without a 10 on any of your essays its pree much impossible to hit 45+ in english?
I've heard 54/60 with nice sacs got you 45, so in a nice year it could potentially get you 45+
They give 10s out relatively frequently, it's like one every 30-40 essays or so for the average examiner

English:GA3 is roughly high A so I'd say around 39-41 (would assume your GA2 would scale a bit more imo).
GA1 - High A+ (MHS)
GA2 - Mid A+ (MHS)
GA3 - 7, 8, 8 or 7, 8, 7
Many a thank in advance, goodly brethren

English:It really depends in that your SACs are scaled by the highest exam score from your cohort (rank one) so if your score happens to not be the highest exam score but somebody else is (say 9,8,8) then your SACs will be scaled to that whilst your exam score (say it's rank fifty) then it'll scale the fiftieth ranked person in your cohort.
Rank 1: unit 3:96
Unit 4:100

However assuming your exam score is the highest in cohort, I believe your SACs would scale down to an A looking around ~36.

You've gotta specifically track down your weaknesses
for exam 1, obviously simple mistakes were my weakness, so i just did like 50 exams and eventually refined my skills so i rarely stuff up now (touch wood). also, use the full 1 hour for the practise- you might get say 36, but in exam conditions you could have picked up on some extra marks and gotten like 38/9, which is a huge difference especially in terms of confidence
for exam 2, i was initially getting like 14/22 for MCQ, and for some reason after doing all the insights in order (which are very repetitive) i managed to start get 20+ and havent dropped below since. i think it was a confidence boost
in the extended response, my main weakness was always those questions that have a family of graphs with another constant in them, every time they threw me (like for what values of k... but the harder ones) so i just did heaps of them and also made sure to squeeze as much knowledge out of each question- i would really deeply think about it and use the cas to understand why the answer was that way instead of just superficially reading the answer for that question
you have to identify those weaknesses and really target them, its the only way to improve
theres still a heap of time to polish up those areas of weakness, if you work hard enough (and smart enough) you will be able to improve heaps in a week
good luck!

I got 38/40 and 60/60 last year and I received a 48, however I was about rank 3 I think and not too sure on the strength of our cohort, so it might be possible but typically the rule for 45+ study scores is 1 mark lost is 1 study score lost too.

Exam 1: 38/40
Exam 2: 74/80
These have been my average marks across both exams. What kind of score could I be looking at? What if I flunk and end up getting something like
Exam 1: 34/40
Exam 2: 64/80
What would I be in for then?
Thanks
I've done a fair bit of research on methods study scores, and it would help to know your scs. I'd say in scenario 1 you'd be looking at 45 assuming close to 100 sacs, and in scenario 2 maybe 38-41 depending on sacs
Hope this helps :)

Spesh plsI think you could scrape it but it would be dependent on the A+ cut-off for Exam 1 and Exam 2 since it does fluctuate between the two (a 72 in Exam 2 could be an A or an A+ depending on the difficulty as seen in 2008 and 2014) so I reckon we'll have to wait till tomorrow to get a better indication at least (just focus for Monday to bring it all up)!

How much can you screw up Exam 1 spesh and still get a 40 raw?Assuming the A+ cut-off for this year's Exam 1 to be 37/40 and using your previous comment:
We're in the same boat. Should probably be possible with 74/80 on ex2of a 35-36/40, depending on Exam 2 difficulty, if it's 2008 difficulty (66/80 was A+), then possibly 69/70 would pull you through. Conversely, if it was 2014 difficulty (73.5/80), possibly ~75 could pull you through imo.
Though I'd just wait till Monday to check it all out since VCAA could throw us a curveball making things interesting (in a good way in that silly mistakes won't add up like it's becoming known for now rather than testing ability imo/rant).

I'd say low 70's (71-73) should be good provided the A+ cut-off is in the high 60's (67-69). Obviously try to aim higher though since you're in a great position to do better!

Specialist: It'll be very tough except I don't think a 77/80 will yield a 47 (I reckon 45-46 is what you could possibly be looking at if Exam 2 provided VCAA doesn't dish up something like last year for example but a higher Exam 2 can of course push it higher).
As for losing three marks, depends on the A+ cut-off and what you're aiming for... aiming for 38-43, it shouldn't do too much damage but aiming for 45+ will do quite a bit since it does get bunched up towards the top end.

I thought it was a fair exam but what can you do... there is always going to be ~2-4 percent of people getting full marks. and that is what determines your score in the end. So not acing exam 1 pretty much removes possibilities for anything 47+ because of this, unless of course you get 100 on exam 2 but we all know that is possible but unlikely. But as my dad would say: Just do your best.

Also, i screwed up my specialist exam 1 32-34/40, would i still be able to do a 34+? SACs are around an A average.

Of course. You're capable of a much higher S.S than that depending on your exam 2 performance.

Hey assuming sacs scale to full marks, how many marks can I lose /120 to get above 45 for specialist?
(I know it depends on the year but can someone give me a ballpark figure :'(
Also do you think its possible to get 49/50 with 117/118?
very possible if sacs scale to full.
118 definitely 49
117 might be 48, but could be 49 is sacs go to full
however keep in mind more likely to be 48.

Will this enough for over 40 SS?
Post by: Orb on November 08, 2015, 11:05:35 am
I thought it was a fair exam but what can you do... there is always going to be ~2-4 percent of people getting full marks. and that is what determines your score in the end. So not acing exam 1 pretty much removes possibilities for anything 47+ because of this, unless of course you get 100 on exam 2 but we all know that is possible but unlikely. But as my dad would say: Just do your best.
47+ requires 118/120 on an easy year, 39 + 79 will get you it, not acing E1 doesn't mean anything, plenty of talented students drop a mark because of some careless error.
Hey assuming sacs scale to full marks, how many marks can I lose /120 to get above 45 for specialist?Most years, 118 will get you 49 :) apart from 2008 iirc no years got you 50 with 118

Post by: GeniDoi on November 08, 2015, 12:05:24 pm
A+ cutoffs are the worst... My SACs are 95 methods rank 4 and 87 spech rank 2(should scale up as pretty much everyone rank 10+ got 36+/40). I hope the cutoffs are more like 2008 and not at all like last year.
Because only ~250 people land in the A+ cutoff and if you are in the A+ cutoff your scaled study score is 50+.
It should be difficult to get a 50 in any subject, and it is in specialist, especially at the top end.
When reading these cutoff reports you have to keep in mind this subject scales by 12 xD
Post by: redcracker on November 08, 2015, 02:58:24 pm
47+ requires 118/120 on an easy year
just to comment on this: student at my school last year got 39 and 77 and got a 47.sacs scaled to full. it is not quite as hard as you are making out - that being said, 116 is extremely difficult both in terms of understanding and physically being able to sit in your exams and not fuck up
also does which exam you lose each mark on matter?
or is (for example) 30/40 and 80/80 the same as 40/40 and 70/80?
Post by: Sine on November 08, 2015, 03:27:58 pm
also does which exam you lose each mark on matter?kinda does matter which exam you lose marks on because each exam score is calculated through z scores therefore in most cases 39/40 & 80/80 beats 40/40 and 79/80 as there is a greater standard deviation of exam scores in exam 2 than exam 1 meaning that raw exam scores in exam 1 are more closer together and raw exam scores on exam 2 are spread - the best explanation is that exam 2 is statistically more difficult than exam 1.

Hahaha yeah the scaling is a tad overpowered but it is pretty awesome to get a 40 raw--> All dem bragging rights haha especially for spech. Getting a 50 in spech is pretty much a matter of luck, like further, because everyone who get 40+ is good enough to get the 50, it is only that they didn't on the day of the exam. I guess that is why spech scales so much as the cohort is so competitive and 40->51 and 50->55

so how does weighting come into play here? study design says paper 1 is 22% and paper 2 is 44%.

Englang: something in ther range 44-46, as an optimistic guess, assuming you have a reasonable cohort.
I was rank 2 in a moderate to weak cohort, with 80 average for unit 3, 90 average for unit 4, and what must have been a high A+ for exam, I think 68-70/75. I ended up with 46.
However, I think rank 1 got 43.
Anyway, thats info for your reference, and for you to draw your own conclusions.

English: 45+ , cannot give you a clear number because the top end 46-50 are usually really close together in the exam.
psych: 45-47, depends on the exam
Legal: 46-48, depends on the exam
Methods: 33-35 depending on your performance on the exam 2.
As a rule of thumb do not let SAC scores screw you over for the exams as in the end they don't account for much. I was ranked 29th in an average cohort of Further maths and still managed a score in the high 40s

Kind of depends on how much that C+ pulls you down for GA1/how 'strong' your cohort really is, but I think that's 38-42 (42 for 110/120)
Methods:
Kind of depends on your cohort again, but that would be roughly 38-42 again.

Englang: Depends on how your SACs scale, but 70/72-75 is a really high score and that would probably be 46-48 (dependent on SACs really)

Can I please get an estimate for what I assume the scaling will be like and if there was no scaling. Thanks so much :)
I am doing this largely intuitively,
but your 90% in GA3 should push you to a solid 42-44

I was told (from who I can't recall) but straight 7's across the board for English (if SACs and everything don't screw you over) should get you around a 35. Key word there being "around".

I'd say around a 39-41 for all 8s. 36-38 for all 7s
EAL is very competitive at the high end (thus the +1.5 scaling) you might want to get straight 8s for the 40 :)

nah its scaled, raw would be low B+ but because I don't know how much it will scale by I am being conservative and scaling to High B+. I reckon they might go to A+ but don't want to overstate anything.
So you can fifty without full marked sacs?
What about
GA1- Mid A+
GA2- Low A+
GA3- I loose 1-2 marks so 108-109/110
Would that secure a 50?

How do you judge if a cohort is "weak" or "strong"? Could I say my cohort is strong if I am doing well in VCAA exams but ranked lowly in SACs? In addition to this, does the whole cohort affect SAC scaling or is it simply the people ranked above you? (Considering if you're rank 1, you aren't affected by your cohort)strong cohort= lots of 40+ in previous years, or predicting a lot of people in your 'group' will do really well, potentially increasing your sac results!
cohort scaling is most affected by the people at the top of your cohort, but the whole cohort affects you. if your rank 1, your exam score = sac score (bit more complex, but simply said)

Lol! It'll be the first one my school gets then ;)
But seriously, I'll have to stop these silly errors and correct any misconceptions :P
Methods - high 30's to 40
I was actually aiming for a 40+ so I'll have to do better on the exams than what I originally thought
Biology if you get around 100/110 = 45SS
Now, I thought my SACs were botched so this was a surprise, lol, only aiming for a 35
Is this relying on the fact that those above me must also do well? I'm ranked 4-5 so I didn't think a 40 was even possible
Spesh - low 30's
Just what I'm aiming for, yay!!

Unit 3 : Mid A+
Unit 4 : Mid A+ (after scaling)
Exam: 42/60 45/60 48/60 51/60 (could I have predictions for each of these scores)
However (and these are from my own judgement) , if you were to get 42/60 (~21/30) then this would equate to ~33-36 I want to say
45/60 would probs be in the same range but on the higher end
48/60 (~24/30) would be ~39-41
The 51/60 however (~26/30, I rounded up to 26 from 25.5) would get you into the low to mid 40s, maybe 42-45 it would have to, also that's what your SACs suggest you should be getting :)
Now I hope I didn't make to many incorrect judgements.

I have gotten 2 mediums and 2 highs in my sacs (maybe ranked like 5th in my class). However, our SACs are completely different to the exam style questions and I have been doing way better in prac exams than i did in my sacs because they are so different.
If i do relatively well in the exams is it possible to get in the high 30s?

Totally still able to get a 40! It's difficult to say how many marks though - it depends on the exam.
Last year, I got at A+ for sacs (as you will too I assume), and high A+ in exam 1, and an A in exam 2. .... and I ended up with a 42!
Just focus on making no little mistakes, and read the question carefully. Best of luck!

A 2015 student with SACs for both unit 3 and 4 at around 94% and Rank 3
And an ESTIMATED exam mark of 65-67 / 70
Got a 35 SS.
Said student’s “estimated exam mark” was just their approximation post-exam though as they didn’t pay the $ needed to get their results.
Would you agree with me if I were to say that they almost definitely overestimated their exam mark? And realistically, had they gotten an exam mark of 65-67, approx what SS should they have been looking at??

zzz cmon man think logically! Of course he overestimated his exam score. The A+ for legal last year was 61/70. if he got a 66, with his sacs and rank, he would have gotten around 45-47. You cant get mid A+SACS and exam and only get a 35 lol. Either he overestimated or VCAA made a mistake.
If you want some insight on this. Generally B+ SACS with an A+ exam will get you at least a 39. The key is to A+ the exam. For a reference to legal, my friend, in all honesty, dropped 1 mark the whole year in difficult sacs. Her internals were 199/200. She panicked, got an A on the legal exam and received a 39. It all comes down to the exam my friend.
Good luck!

Obviously it depends on the cohort but looking at the grade distributions from last year, a 61+/70 would have landed you an A+ on the exam.
provded they got a decent sac mark, they were probably looking at atleast high 30s

I knew that but my friends don't trust my judgement esp cos
a) they're too busy stressing and reevaluating their ATAR goals as a result of ^ and
b) "Legal's different! You're more of a science/maths kid so you'll obviously instinctively understand what study score = what exam score better for those subjects but you can't use that understanding for a subject like Legal!!!" - Legit what one of my stressed out friends said when I questioned just how reliable the student's claims were. ::) ::) ::)

this being said, if you peruse through the legal thread, there is one or two anomalous study scores? i forgot the user- but someone did buy a statement and got 100% sacs, equal rank 1 in a cohort with like 5 other people, and got 61/70 to net a 35 ss....
i think the user reported because all the equal rank 1s did horribly on the exam i.e c in relation to their sacs, they all went down miserably :/

Hey Hasiba, Can you give me a baseline for economics. Someone said 42-44 before, however I though this was too generous for my scores. (The exam was harder this year)yeah, no expert , but i think 42-44 is a bit generous if the A+ is 81/90? maybe 40 is reasonable, unless ur sacs scale beautifully to full marks- in which case 42-44 seems right! i do think the cutoff might drop tho, idk? :) sure u did better!!

Personally, I found the MC really easy (according to ATAR notes solutions, 40/40), but the SA was tough (in saying that, I made so many silly mistakes on the SA by misreading the questions rip - around 50-60/70 on Short Answer).

Hey! so my predictions may not be extremely accurate, but from intuition
Scenario 1: 45+
scenario 2: mid 40s
Scenario 3: 40-43 ish
Scenario 4: high 30s or a 40 maybe depending on cutoff
Same! MC was fine, but I just wasn't expecting the style of questions in SA and was a bit thrown off. I'm hoping the cutoff will be somewhere in the 90s (it was 91.5/110 last year). Do you think this was a harder exam than last years'?

For psych im really nervous if i can get a good score
My rank for both unit 3 & 4 was 2nd, only the top 3 people are strong the rest of the cohort are really weak tbh
Unit 3 score was: 92%
Unit 4 score was: 97%
According to atarnotes and connecteducation answers im not too sure
but im guessing around 115-120/140
Thanks in advance :)

Yes, the SA threw me off at times as well - In my opinion, I thought it was harder than 2015 just because of the style of questions, but I think the main consensus is that it was slightly easier. But in the given time, I think that it's inevitable that students make silly errors here and there, consequently making the A+ cut off a low/mid 90. According to Thushan, it will be around 94-96, so hopefully its around the low 90 mark.

Yeah tbh I found this years to be a bit harder, but that may be just because of exam pressure and less exposure to the style of questions. I guess 94-96 sounds reasonable, but I think I expected it to be a bit lower. Anyways good luck! :)

With those scores, your SACs will unfortunately scale down. Assuming that they meet your exams scores, your worst case should be about 22, considering the median is about 24/40 for exam 1 and about 40/80 for exam 2

To be honest, it'd be pretty strange if your SACs didn't scale down. Surely you can understand why it looks a little bit dodgy to be getting B+/As in SACs and then get Es and Ds in the exam - if this is the case, the SACs will inevitably plunge. If you can get close to the cutoffs for both exams, so 22+/40 and 35+/80, you should be looking at around a 25.

Just so we don't have to repeat ourselves for every fucking person lol.
Each mark dropped at the upper end is one study score.
e.g. exam 1 = 38/40
exam 2 = 58/60
Study score is 46. Unless variables such as extremely unique cohort strength, poor ranking or 100% SAC average comes into play. - It will still only change by 1 SS give or take.
For the middle range. 80% on both exams will land you around 35-37. - Again depending on same variables.
Peace.

What does someone with about an 80-85% sac average in a very strong cohort (out of 23 students I'm probably ranked around 7-9) need to get on the exam in order to get a raw score of 40?
Keep in mind that my school is consistently top 10 in the state (if that has any effect).
Post by: HasibA on November 02, 2016, 01:11:46 pm
Simple question regarding CHEMISTRY..aim for low mid A+ on the exam, which is usually like 100+/120, id say a safe aim is 106+/110 to account for an easy/hard exam to secure 40, less if youre sacs scale up ha

not sure if im posting this in the right place (as this isnt a study score prediction) but would my ability to achieve 45+ in legal be affected by a extremely poor cohort if im rank 2? i heard rank 1 remains unaffected by the cohort's performance, but if anyone can clarify this it'd be a massive help :)if rank 1 fucks up, sacs might go down a bit, as the highest rank affects mostly how sacs are scaled, even though its mainly ur whole cohort performance that determines sac scaling . eg if rank 1 gets a B, and the rest of chort gets A+, should be fine, but sacs would scale higher if rank 1 also got A+
does that make sense? as long as rank 1 does decently, your chance arent lowered; if u kill ur exam and rank 1 fucks up severely, you might be affected by like 1 SS if you kill ur exam, and idk if more :/
Maybe Orb can chime in?

Another question, more concerned about this one..
Methods!!
Sacs probably average just under 50%, Exam 1: 24/40..
What would I need to get in exam 2 for the 25?
I'm basically near the bottom of the cohort. However, it's a reasonably strong cohort (some year 11s will smash the exam)..
Thanks

aim for 34/80+ and high 20s should be in reach (like 28raw+). minimum id aim is like 30/80, but aim higher :)!
do u know if ur sacs scale up? if they do, exam 2 can go down by a mark or two, but dont want to go <30/80 :)

Can someone predict my score please?hmm I am not all to familiar with Classical studies but had a little look at last years grade distirbutions and your well into the 40's I can't be more specific since I don't know exactly but to put into perspective look at the 2015 grade distribution you needed 123/160 for an A+ on the exam whichI would say is enough for a 39-40 given good sacs which yours seem to be. Your projected score is 146/160 so much higher but I don't know how much higher. :)

EDIT: Also can someone tell me how you predict the study score? I'm a bit unsure how you could do it just by looking at the bell curve of last year's cohort...
Ooohh I think I got it! Is it 39 if I calculated it right? Awesomee

I had pretty similar rankings and scores for those subjects last year (your R&S is a bit better) and got 48 for bio and 45 for R&S
I'm sure you'll do amazingly :)

My school cohort is strong (about 10-15% are VERY strong), school is always top 20 in terms of ranking, and the SACs are difficult.
Biology, desiring 50
Known results:
- SAC 1: 88% -- 2nd in cohort I believe, dropped 6 marks (eek...?)
- SAC 2: 96.7% (Practical Investigation)
English, desiring 50
Known results:
- SAC 1 (Text Response): 100%
- SAC 2 (Analysing Argument): 95% -- dropped 2 marks
Chinese SL, desiring 40+
Known results:
- SAC 1 (Personal Writing): 90%/A+ -- dropped 2 marks
- SAC 2 (Listening): 91.7%/A+ -- dropped 2.5 marks
Chemistry, desiring 40+
Known results:
- SAC 1: 86% -- ~5th in class, unsure about cohort
Thanks!

I can't help with Chinese sorry - but for a 40 you'd want an A+ on the exams.

How badly does not full-marking every
SAC/not getting rank 1 for every SAC actually affect prospects for a 50?

not getting rank 1 is a possibility however since you go to a strong school top 5 should be more than enough.

Nice SAC scores! I think you'd need around 53/60 to get a 46 SS although I'm no expert, just extrapolating data from what I've heard and researched.

Physics - you used to need 130/150 for a 40 IIRC ( i didn't do physics)
now the exam is out of 130 so maybe 113/130

Hey guys, I am on 93/100 for unit 3 accounting (on around rank 7 in cohort and 93 is a mid A). I was wondering if it is still possible to 50 raw? If not, if i maintain this performance for unit 4 and the exam wat would be my predicted study score range? Cheers!depends on cohort strength - how high the top 7 exam scores are at your school. :) and of course your own exam performance

Literature
- 89/100 (unit 3)
- ranked 4-3/20
- average cohort, the people ranked above me are pretty strong/ambitious though
- 42+ SS
Englang
- 84/100
- rank 3/40ish
- the cohort is a mixed bag, some people love it and want to do well (myself included) but most people only chose it because they thought they wouldn't have to write essays (jokes on them)
- practice exam: around 80%
- 42+ SS
Chem
- 70/100
- ranked 20-18/44 (LOL)
- average cohort but hardworking, can't gauge the top end because I'm not in it rip
- 30-35+ SS
Methods
- 23/50 (yikes)
- ranked 50ish/100ish
- slightly above average cohort + difficult SACs
- 25+ SS
- although the above score is more realistic, am I still in the game for 30+? If so what scores would I ideally need for upcoming SACs/exams
Italian:
- 34/50
- rank 5/12
- the cohort is a mixed bag, leaning more towards weak
- 30+ SS
Overall, unit 3 has been meh but I hope I can make up for it in unit 4 and the exam.

Chemistry
65/120 - 85/120 roughly 30-35 you need a lot of marks to improve your SS around the median such is the bell curve
Methods
For a 30 you will need roughly
21/40 on exam 1
40/80 on exam 2 (using 2015 grade distribution given it was a very fair exam, i.e. not too easy nor hard)
For a 25 you could go much lower say
15/40 on exam 1
25/80 on exam 2
Definitley still possible to get above 30 or even higher!

I'm rank one (sac marks were 90% and 91%, only gotten the first 2 back so far) in a fairly mixed cohort. The top end of it is quite strong but the bottom get low results. I'd say the sacs have been medium/hard in difficulty

If I get 94% average in my SACs for Psychology, and I'm rank 2 in a weak cohort with a strong rank 1, what study score might I get?can't really tell because we don't know the the strenght of your cohort - I know you said strong rank 1 but that can be interpreated in a numerous numebr of ways e.g. rank 1 gets a SS of 50 or others might say strong = study score of 40+.
Looking at your sac perecentage you are doing really well, I think once you start doing exams and scoring them you can get a good prediction for where you are at.

There are 2 classes in our cohort, I'm in a strong class of 20 where top ~8-10 all seem to have prospects for 40+ and top 1-2 are contenders for 50 or at least 46+. Not too sure about the other class but they're defintiely weaker overall.

- SAC 2) 96%
- SAC 3) 92%

Hey guys! just wondering how much my GAT affects my study scores? i know i did horrifically on the english section (had the flu on the day and didn't finish either piece) and I'm stressing out that its going to ruin my english marks!It won't impact your english study score unless you are ill and require a derived exam score. :)
Last year I was also sick during the GAT however still did alright on it so you never know :)

Is there any chance of getting 48 in specialist if I manage to get 100% in both exams? I think I will end up getting ~90% for GA1.

Well since you aren't rank 1 100% on both exams + rank 3 would mean a few study scores deducted (and this amount is upto how well your cohort goes). I can't really tell you whether 48 is possible without knowing how good rank1/2 and how they go on the exam. If they also get mid high 40's I think a 48 would be very possibile for you. So hopefully they do well :D

note: top 4 in the cohort (including me) are quiet strong.
Methods:
Rank: 13-15/50 (very rough estimate)
Sac's: 84%, 60%, 80%. (Our school make ridiculously difficult sacs for methods. Nothing even close to exams in terms of both difficulty and style of questioning)
Exams: Low to mid A+ on both
English:
Rank: No clue but definitely above average.
Sac's: 75%, 80%, 80%, 88%, 85%
Exam: High A or low A+
Further Maths:
Rank: Within the top 10 out of 120 students
Sac's: 93%, 91%, 96%, 100%
Exam: Hoping to ace exam one and drop a maximum of 2-3 marks on exam 2.
Thanks to whoever predicts my SS's. Really appreciated.

English: I’d say you need at least 50/60 on the exam, possibly 51.
Chem: Probably somewhere in the 90s/120, not entirely sure as there is a new exam format.
Methods: 36/40 + 72/80 although this can depend a lot on the difficulty of the exam - last year’s was super hard for exam 2 so I’m expecting them to ease up but you never know.
Specialist: As you get closer to the mean it broadens quite a lot. Ballpark would be 25/40 + 50/80.

English: Rank 1-2/30 in a weak class, sitting on like 85-90%
Chem: Rank 2/10 in an alright class, averaging about 90%
German: Rank 1/7, I'd say a strong-ish class (me and one other have only dropped one or two marks for the year, the rest are more average I'd say)
Methods: Rank 2/11, I don't know how strong the class is, ~95%
Specialist: Rank 2/2, I think I'm like 3/8 in the class we're piggybacking?, ~70%
I'm not sure how I'll go in the exams! My exams scores will probably be a bit lower than my SAC scores - I have a sneaky feeling my teachers, English especially, set v easy SACs.

So with high A+ sacs and a 93/100 on the oral, how low can the written exam be for a 40? Cheers
Post by: LifeisaConstantStruggle on October 07, 2017, 04:20:21 pm
The lowest A+ mark is around 83%, so getting a 40 could be a bit higher than that (85-86 ish), and the oral is about 25% of your GA3, so to get a 40 you'd probably need an 82-85% in the written exam.
It also depends on the year tho the actual mark might fluctuate from time to time.

GA1 (SACS): Data Analysis: 100%, Financial: 90% (Whoops :-\), Matrices: 100%, Graphs and Relations: 99%
Averaged 97.8% (should be an A+ considering our school's scaling is pretty consistent – cutoff last year was 92/100)
Ranked about 5 – 8th out of 160 (a very large, but average cohort, however the students above me are very strong and should get A+ for their exams)
GA2 Prediction (Exam 1): Around a 38/40, if not, higher (worst case 36/40)
GA3 Prediction (Exam 2): Around a 56 – 58/60 (worst case 54/60)
Well, my hopes of 50 are probably destroyed for now, but how good do I have to do in the exam to get a study score of 45+?
By the way, I have gotten much better at financial over the months of despair... so hopefully, I can crack it in the exam!
Post by: Sine on October 09, 2017, 09:40:15 pm
Further Maths (doing it as a Year 11)your worst case score 36/40 + 54/60 would give you a 40.

If you only dropped 4 marks across both exams 38/40 and 58/60 it would be possible to get 46-47 however that would be reliant on 4 other people (generally ranks 1-4) getting a high A+ on the exams.

Further Maths (doing it as a Year 11)your worst case score 36/40 + 54/60 would give you a 40.
GA1 (SACS): Data Analysis: 100%, Financial: 90% (Whoops :-\), Matrices: 100%, Graphs and Relations: 99%
Averaged 97.8% (should be an A+ considering our school's scaling is pretty consistent – cutoff last year was 92/100)
Ranked about 5 – 8th out of 160 (a very large, but average cohort, however the students above me are very strong and should get A+ for their exams)
GA2 Prediction (Exam 1): Around a 38/40, if not, higher (worst case 36/40)
GA3 Prediction (Exam 2): Around a 56 – 58/60 (worst case 54/60)
Well, my hopes of 50 are probably destroyed for now, but how good do I have to do in the exam to get a study score of 45+?
By the way, I have gotten much better at financial over the months of despair... so hopefully, I can crack it in the exam!

Well... At least I am not at total disaster then... ready for the challenge and the contest. And of course, the strong ones here all want to full mark it 40/40 and 60/60, but some people say that may involve a little bit of luck, I see their point... but skill is what counts for the most, and by the way... I may improve... so hopefully! Kudos to you! :)

I'd just like to ask if someone could give me a prediction for my scores (English):
Raw GAs:
GA1: 96/100
GA2: 100/100
GA3: 58/60 (our school did an official practice exam and our exams were marked by a retired VCAA assessor)
Would I have a chance of getting a 50? Our cohort's pretty decent with about 1-2 raw 50s every year.
Post by: Sine on October 10, 2017, 05:55:30 pm
Good morning!i think a couple of years ago (2015) 57/60 was enough for a 50 and 58/60 is always a 50. If you rank is very high I'd think unit 3 would also scale to 100 so you should be fine.

My scores this year for English are
GA1: 74/100
GA2: 75/100
GA3: N/A
Just wondering what score do i need for my Exam to get a 35 study score? And does it matter if i got a really high A+ for my Oral SAC but an average score for my comparative when it comes to the moderation for my SAC score?
Thanks so much!

Hi Guys,no not really, individual sac scores are not important ints the overall weighted average for each unit that is improtant :)

For a 35 I'd think you would be relatively safe with something like 40-42/60 although you'd hope your sacs get scaled up a little :)

What study score would I be expecting if I'm ranked 1 in an average to decent cohort with 5-10 40+ every year if I'm getting about 93-96% for my practice exams? (I did VCAA 2013-2016 so the exact mark changes because I omit the questions that's not in the study design).

93% ~ 102/110

so 93% gets you

96% gets a

Psych: no idea what my average is overall since I haven't gotten 3 SACS back out of the 5 we did, but the ones I did get back were 98% and 88% (highest mark for this SAC was like 90%). I do have a strong cohort (always a handful of 50s, with most people getting at least 40+). I think A+ should be achievable for exams.
Chem: okay cohort (lots of 40+ but no 50s)
U3: 87%
U4: 75%
No idea how I will go on exams, at the moment... not looking too good. Might get an A if I'm lucky.
Spesh: strong cohort (lots of 40+ but no 50s)
U3: 75%
U4: 84%
I got a 40 in methods last year if that helps predict my ability in maths.

Look, I can’t comment on English and Psych, but for the others:
Chem: it really depends on where you rank - you could be the best with those marks, enabling you to achieve 40s, or you could be rank 30, making it pretty difficult to get there. What I can say though - U4 is weighted more than U3 (24% versus 16%), so that may hurt you a bit, particularly if you don’t get a high exam mark to bump those up. Assuming you did end up getting an A, then I’d imagine you would be eligible for a mid (or perhaps a high) 30, which I guess is still good considering the 4 point scaling. If you got a B or B+, then it would probably be a low 30. Given that I’m in a similar situation with SACs (85 for U3, 87 for U4 in a pretty good cohort), I would highly suggest reinforcing your knowledge for the exam in order to hit an A+. In that way, you can boost your mark to a 40.
Spec: again, depends on your rank and how you’re going in trial exams. In my position, I think I have a mid 90 average across the whole year in a really strong cohort (I think I’m 3rd or 4th), and atm I’m getting around the A to A+ bands in trials. As such, I think it’s fair to predict a mid to high 30, if not, low 40 as a raw study score (which I’d be ecstatic with), so if you’re in a similar position to me, then I would assume you have a similar potential.
Hope this helps :)

MM: I think dropping a total of ~10 marks over both exams would land you a low 40 - an A+ for E1 is around 37/40, while an A+ for E2 is around a high 60/80. For someone who wants to get >40, aim for full marks on E1 since it’s easy, and ~70/80 for E2.
CH: I would say aim for 75-85/120
SM: I would say you can drop ~20 across both papers - a B+ for E1 I think is around 30-32/40, and ~60/80 for E2.

Just curious if you're aiming for raw 50 in methods is getting 39/40 in exam 1 dangerous?I was under the impression that to get raw 50 methods you’d generally only be able to drop a maximum of 2 marks across both exams. So, you’d generally need to get 79/80 on exam 2 to compensate. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, since I’m not too sure about this.
Post by: Sine on October 18, 2017, 03:59:25 pm
Just curious if you're aiming for raw 50 in methods is getting 39/40 in exam 1 dangerous?nope one of my friends in 2016 and also know someone in 2012 who got 39/40 but ended up getting a 50. The 2016 guy maybe dropped another in exam 2 but the 2012 one full marked exam 2. You'd rather be losing marks on exam 1 than exam 2. 39/40 and 80/80 beats 40/40 and 79/80 statistically (although both would be 50's)
edit: it's not dangerous since you still have a chance but ideally you'd want to full mark e1 because e2 there will be questions (generally) that are not straight forward.

102/120 - 36-37
91/120 34
105/120 - 39
You are taking a few SS point hits for sacs (if your cohort is strong these would be higher) - I assumed average
bio 92% is 110.5/120 - 43-47
94% is 113/120 - 44 - 48
96% is 115/120 - 45 - 50
depending on exam difficulty "easy" - "hard/moderate"

I would like an estimated study score for Business Management. I am really determined for a 40+.
Unit 3 Sac Avg = 86% (75,83,100)
Unit 3 Cohort Avg = 64% (60, 63, 68)
Unit 4 Sac Avg = 95.5% (96, 95)
Unit 4 Cohort Avg = 68% (72,64)
I know my ranking for the overall year is 4th in my class. (taking an educated guess that I am in the top 6-8 of cohort)
Practice exam = 95% (ranked 2nd in cohort + expecting very similar on real one, in the range of 90-100)
Thanks in advance :)

Hi i was wondering what if getting a 40 in bio still possible,im ranked either 4th or 5th in an average cohort of around 25 people with the top five being quite stronggenerally for a 40 you need 85% on the bio exam (from past study design) that is equivalent to 102/120 in this study design so looks as though you are on your way

Hypothetically, if you get 100/120 for you exam, sitting at rank 2 [hard SAC's] what would I expect. Aiming for 42/43. If not, what would I need to achieve that Awesome SS?which subject??

I'm ~5 out of 35 in an above average cohort.

2015 11.7% of students got an A+ for GA3
So it seems that you probably won't get a way with an extremely high A (0.5 marks of an A+) for a raw 40
You'd definitley want a low A+ for a 40 in french
The A+ for french has fluctuated a bit
2015 it was 302/400
2016 it was 332/400 (probably an ez exam)

Obviously English is double marked, but assuming the assessors were like-minded, you’d get a 54/60 which is definitely 47+ with your SAC marks and the esteemed scotch cohort

Question - if, say, I was having a bit of an existential crisis at the time of the GAT and decided I wouldn't do the English section because I couldn't be bothered, will this destroy my English SS? I'm averaging A's and I'm expecting a low A on the exam, just for reference.

I disagree with that Spesh SS prediction, those results should net around 47-49. 45 is way too low, especially considering how there's only 3 dropped marks, meaning its more than a mark per study score.

I would probably say 45-46 (3 study score loss for the exam and then a futher 1-2 drop for sacs)

Hi all,

SACs:90-92/100 in a very strong English cohort (approx 60 40s per year)
Exam: 50-52/60
Assuming you are rank 1 in your cohort, your GA's should be:
GA1: 90/100 ~ 87-90/100 (Mid A+) Mid A+ cut-off = 90/100
GA2: 90/100 ~ 90-93/100 (Mid A+)
GA3: 50-52/60 (Low- Mid A+)
Study Score: 40-43
Assuming top SAC mark 100/100
I assume top 9% of cohort, so
GA1: 90/100 ~ 84-88/100 (low A+)
GA2: 92/100~ 87-93/100 (low- mid A+)
GA3: 50-52/60 (low- mid A+)
Study Score: 39-42
This is not 100% accurate, so take it with a grain of salt

ENGLANG:
U3: 88% raw

what mark should i aim for on the exam if i’m aiming for around a 42-45 in englang? so low to mid 40s?
rank: above average in a selective entry cohort
SPESH:
SAC: 84% raw
what marks would i need for a 40 raw? would i be able to get a 39 with high A for sacs and low A+s for both exams?
rank: slightly above average in selective entry cohort
CHEM:
U3: 85%
U4: 86%
Exam: 100-105/120

So for my chem SAC results i got
UNIT 3 : 72%, 38%
UNIT 4: 60%, 78%, 81%
So what exam mark would i have to get to recieve a 25 study score? I am probably ranked 6th out of 12.
Only concern is that i am getting really bad for my practice exams and do not want to try as this is my worst / bottom subject... only want enough to get a 25.
Post by: -273.15 on November 04, 2017, 05:25:13 pm

Rank 1
Strong school, GA1 and GA2 scale up by 1 or 1.5 letter grades every year
GA3 estimation: 114/120
This exam seems to be considered somewhat unusual and certainly challenging by students, teachers and examiners.

What sort of score range is likely for Biology?honest prediction: 50
Rank 1
Strong school, GA1 and GA2 scale up by 1 or 1.5 letter grades every year
GA3 estimation: 114/120
This exam seems to be considered somewhat unusual and certainly challenging by students, teachers and examiners.
but that's only if they mark as harshly as what they have been doing for the past 2 study designs :)
For context two study design ago 70/75 + 70/75 would get a 50 (when unit 3 and 4 were seperate)
one study design ago 105/110 gets a 50 generally (except for 2014 when it was ez)

Post by: deanator71 on November 06, 2017, 02:18:39 pm
So my SAC average is 97.8% as before, and I am ranked about 5th out of 163. The cohort is very average in strength overall but the top ~15 are A+ level strong with the top ~3 to 5 (rank 1 with a 99% average) likely to get 100% for the exams. SAC scaling is pretty consistent, so after scaling I probably would be looking at a 97 to 99 /100 moderated SAC average.
My Exam 1 score should be: 40/40. (based off circulating answers)
My Exam 2 score should be: around about 59/60. – 1 annoying mark lost in the very first question :'(
(I think the highest score for exam 2 from our school is 60/60)

HAHAHAH Thanks for mentioning me I actually never noticed (pretty sure I voted up as your scores were similar to mine, but I've changed it to an up now, you happy? :D)
Also since I'm already here, a rough prediction of your score would be from 47-49, possibly even 50 if the cut off allows 1 mark to be dropped (given that you get 59 for exam 2)!

Assuming everyone else in your class had a similar gap between their Sac and exam scores, yes your SAC marks would gets scaled down significantly. Depends on your cohort though

Hi, just wondering what sort of study score I’d be looking at in chemistry. I’m top ranked for unit 3 and either second or equal first for unit 4 with an average of 92% for both, really hoping that our sacs scale up. I’m estimating for the exam something between 108-113/120. Is it still possible to get above a 45 raw and what sort of study score would either case get?
I'm suggesting a study score of around 41(raw). I don't think your SACs would scale - you get 92% in all 3 GA's and you're rank1, so that gave you a High A, a Low A+, and a mid A+ on your exam, which would give you around a 41. I could be wrong though!

Doubt it, if those above you performed well your GA1 mark should be scaled accordingly, so I think you'll be good for a 40. :)

Do you know what sac scores and exam scores would get exactly a 25 raw?nope no one can predict since it will be dependent on the 16000+ students who sit the exams in November the next best thing would be to look at past students/averages scores and it's always okay to aim for a little higher than you actually need to give themselves a buffer.

OK I SRSLY SPENT LITERALLY EVERY DAY LAST YEAR IN THIS THREAD AND WAS OBSESSED WITH STUDY SCORE PREDICTING AS WELL AS GETTING MY STUDY SCORE PREDICTED (literally predicted most of my friends ss and my own). if anyone needs help in getting their scores predicted regardless of rank and amount of ppl in cohort (although these wud help but sometimes fat cohorts are hard to dictate numbers or small cohorts may have inaccurate deductions), message me ur predictions and ill try to get back to people. Can also try for atar predictions as well as i was in this similar position and good news can sometimes help ppl aim for higher goals.great to have someone who is confident in estimate study scores! It would be super helpful for not only the person who asks the question but also anyone reading if all those valuable predictions were kept on this thread ;D

Probably 33-36 depending on the difficulty of the examIf I got those scores on the 2017 exam, would that get a 35 raw since 2017 was considered a difficult exam?

Ok so i did methods in 2016 and got 35 raw and considering the 2017 methods exam was arguably harder in my opinion, i wud probably say u wud get around 34-36. My sacs average 76%, tech free i got 28/40 and tech active was 56-58/80 which was graded B A A (barely A's). Quantum44 is very accurate on his prediction of ur ss and im just inputting my scores as to back it up. gotta look at ranking and cohort strength as well but the straightforward answer is most likely yes on that 35 raw (the tech active being B+ might push it to 34 but check the grade dist for methods year when it comes out)

~46-48 raw
^Yea i think 46-48 is a bit of a stretch there as scores above 40 tend to be -1 ss per mark loss also taking consideration that he is rank 10... My prediction wud ultimately be 45 raw as i know someone who lost 1 mark in tech free and 4 marks in tech active and got 45 but could also be reliant on how hard the exam is. 47-48 wud definitely be around 2-3 marks lost overall.
Post by: snowisawesome on March 05, 2018, 03:13:23 pm
Do you know which year they got 45 raw in and whether they got statement of marks or just an estimation?

on an "easy/moderate" exam would be a 45 (e.g. 2015)
Although this isn't taking into account any "sac penalty" if they don't scale to 100 or high 99's.

would be 47-48 on a very hard exam (e.g. 2013)Is this for 39/40 and 75/80 regardless of sacs?

Post by: Sine on March 05, 2018, 07:01:38 pm
Do you know what scaled sac scores are needed for a 35 raw and a 37 raw?scaled scores of high 70's low 80's which is a B+ usually, that should be enough but better sacs would give you a small boost of maybe a couple study scores.

scaled scores of high 70's low 80's which is a B+ usually, that should be enough but better sacs would give you a small boost of maybe a couple study scores.so high 70s for 35 raw and low 80s for 37 raw?
Post by: Sine on March 05, 2018, 07:16:15 pm
so high 70s for 35 raw and low 80s for 37 raw?not really just around that for those types of study scores. Given the bell curve a couple of sac scores won't mean too much in the 30's as it would in the high 40's.

not really just around that for those types of study scores. Given the bell curve a couple of sac scores won't mean too much in the 30's as it would in the high 40's.Since they're the scaled sac scores would raw sac scores depend on cohort strength?
Post by: Sine on March 05, 2018, 07:26:41 pm
Since they're the scaled sac scores would raw sac scores depend on cohort strength?raw sac scores are determined by what you actually get in school.
Cohort strength will determing how the raw scores get converted to scaled.
Hope this helps

Further depends on on where your sacs scale to if they go to 99-100/100 dropping full marking the exams is a 50 a dropping 1 might be (but unlikely imo) depending on how the state goes.
Post by: VeryJuicyLemon on September 19, 2018, 07:46:00 pm
Hi all,Hard to say for further since it may be solely determined by on what the people ranked above you scored. Generally the people ranked above you need to score a 50 for you to have a chance to obtain 50 (getting 99-100% in sac moderation is vital for a 50).

Unless specified study scores are nearly always stated as raw.
Also unless any other mod has not told you already it's important that you don't continuously bump your posts within short periods of times (e.g. 1 hour) - I think it's acceptable if you wait for a full 24 hour cycle of AN to complete before you bump any post. :)

Generally its 40/40 and 59/60 for a chance to get a 50 + rank 1
Though with the score of 39/40 and 60/60 a 49 is a really high possibility (again, this may change by the performance of your cohort, especially those ranked above you)
Post by: Lear on November 04, 2018, 07:07:21 am
Most likely nope ( :( lost 1 mark in exam 1 aswell) and considering your rank, it really depends on how well the students ranked above you did in the exams (you are looking at 100% sac moderation, which is unlikely)

I’d agree but considering his 95/100 puts him at such a low rank i’m guessing either he has a crazy strong cohort or SACs set were too easy. The Rank for 50 really comes down to cohort strength. Last year at my school our rank 1 only got a 48 yet 3 people below them got a 50 and another person got a 49. One of the 50s was a person I’ve personally talked to who said they averaged roughly 90% all year and were nowhere near the top 5 ranks.
What I suspect is when a cohort does well enough such that the top 10-15 ranks get close to or completely ace the exam, all of those students have their SACs moderated to near 100. Therefore, essentially all those students had an opportunity for a 50 despite not being rank 1.
So coming back to Popcorn’s question, I’d say they have a shot if the 20 student above them can come close to acing the exams. Otherwise it seems unlikely.

37/40 exam 1 - stupid mistakes but the exam was harder than expected
60/60 exam 2
I’m rank 1 with a 100% sac average
I’m hoping to get a 48-49 is this possible?

Just wondering if anyone could give me a rough estimate of how many marks I should be aiming to get above in exam 2 for further for a 40+, or is there no chance of that?
I am probably ranked in the top 10ish out of about 120 and I scored 37/40 on exam one (all simple errors as usual :-\).
Thank you!
Post by: Lear on November 04, 2018, 10:17:42 am
I’m going to assume your SACs scale to 90% as you have an excellent rank.
Given this and your exam 1 score is estimate you need to get around 50 -53 marks for a bare minimum of 40.

Don't stress about what's over and done with. Remember that your performance relies on that of the rest of the state as well. You might be letting your percieved negative outcome cloud the true potential of your writing. Your scores look okay. Based on what you've told me, it looks like you could get mid- to high thirties.

Average 94/100, rank 1

A bit difficult to tell because this also relies on the rest of the state's performance, but looking at your scores the guess would be between a 46 and 48 SS.

If you get 70/80 on exam 2, that should give you at least a few marks leeway on exam 1, given the exam 2 A+ cutoff is reliably in the 60s, although it can vary a lot depending on the difficulty of the exam (i.e. last year’s exam 2 had an A+ cut off of 63/80).

Hi all! What score may I get for Biology?
Unit 3 SAC average
86%
Unit 4 SAC average
94%
Exam score prediction
100/120 or 102/120
My teacher told me that I may be in the top 5 of my cohort. My cohort is weak-average.
Sorry if I bumped too soon.
Post by: galaxy21 on November 06, 2018, 06:11:12 pm
Sorry, just wondering if someone could quickly give me a prediction for my further and bio study scores?
BIO:
Unit 3 SAC average: 88%
Unit 4 SAC average: 86%
Exam: Probably about 90-95/120
I am probably in the top 10-20 out of about 60 students.
FURTHER
SAC average: 97%
Exam 1: 37/40
Exam 2: probably about 53-56/60
I am probably ranked somewhere in the top 10 out of about 120 students.
Thank you! Any idea's would be greatly appreciated. :)

(moved from the Methods exam discussion thread)You're looking at around a 29 raw, and yes, this years methods exams were brutal
I made an account just to vent and create an outlet for my mental anguish post-Methods :(
I need a study score of 25 or above for ALL the courses I want to do which I thought was going to be achievable until... today. I found exam 1 hard and am expecting ~15/40, found exam 2 more accessible but the difficulty of the MC questions messed up my positive mindset so I wouldn't be surprised if I bombed that as well. Might I add that I just found out my calc was in degrees THE WHOLE TIME? YEAH. Marks for the entire bridge question? Gone. I feel sick while typing this. I'm expecting ~40/80 at best.
Is there any hope for me to get a score of raw 25 or above? I'm currently ranked average in a very strong cohort (sucks to be dragging all my mates scores down but that's the price I have to pay for being forced to do a subject I detest as a prereq :-\). My school's SACs do get scaled up but I guess there's a slim chance of moderation saving my grades considering I bombed both exams.
I'm sorry for being so whiny in this post, it's just that I just have no one else to talk to about this because I'm so ashamed if I'm being quite frank.

Do you have a prediction of the a+ cutoff for methods exam 1 and 2 this year by any chance?
Last year:
Exam 1: 69-80 for A+
Exam 2: 126-160 for A+
So, as many people found this year harder, the range may become wider for A+,
Because, in 2016, the A+ range was much narrower for both exams (And 2017 was considered harder than previous exams)
Exam 1: 68-80
Exam 2: 131 - 160
So, that's my estimation.

25 raw is still attainable. Looking at the 2017 Grade Distributions for the Literature exam the mean was 50.3/80 and you are within one standard deviation of that (meaning that a 25+ is still possible - I'm pretty sure)...so try your best for the exam and everything else should fall into place.
Good luck!

What further score would i be looking at withThe last prediction for your scores around 43-45 is an overestimation. I don't mean to discourage you in any means however, I got 38, 59 and only pulled a 45 and my SACs were in the mid 90s. I think 40-43 is more appropriate.
SAC's 92% in a very strong cohort
Exam 1: 36/40
Exam 2: 58/60

Could someone please predict my study score for Bio? Not sure what the general consensus is about its difficulty compared to last year's paper.
Rank ~8 out of 70, kinda strong cohort - 17 40+ last year
Worst case:
U3 Raw: 89/100 (89%)
U4 Raw: 83/90 (92%)
Exam: 102/120
and best case:
U3 Raw: 89/100 (89%)
U4 Raw: 83/90 (92%)
Exam: 107/120

Student A gets 30/40 for Exam 1 and 60/80 for Exam 2.
Student B gets 29/40 for Exam 1 and 61/80 for Exam 2.
So Exam 1 contributes 22% towards the study score, and Exam 2 44% (double that of Exam 1). Exam 2 also has double the number of marks of Exam 1.
Does this mean that the scores are added up together out of 120, and Student A and Student B would receive the exact same study score, because they both got 90/120? Or, because Exam 2 has a higher weighting, would Student B receive a (marginally) higher study score because they performed (marginally) better on Exam 2? Or is it something else entirely?
Sorry if this is a confusing question, and thanks in advance!

Post by: Sine on November 11, 2018, 11:51:50 pm
Hey guys, quick question about Methods weighting. Let's say:Exam 1 and Exam 2 are scored separately and standerdised to a Z score each separately. I can't say for sure which student will score higher since this Z-score will be dependent on how the state goes on the exam.
Student A gets 30/40 for Exam 1 and 60/80 for Exam 2.
Student B gets 29/40 for Exam 1 and 61/80 for Exam 2.
So Exam 1 contributes 22% towards the study score, and Exam 2 44% (double that of Exam 1). Exam 2 also has double the number of marks of Exam 1.
Does this mean that the scores are added up together out of 120, and Student A and Student B would receive the exact same study score, because they both got 90/120? Or, because Exam 2 has a higher weighting, would Student B receive a (marginally) higher study score because they performed (marginally) better on Exam 2? Or is it something else entirely?
Sorry if this is a confusing question, and thanks in advance!
Generally it's better to score high in exam 2 as less people do well on it generally however - this year most people would say exam 1 was much harder so it could be exam 1 this year.

Between 42 (110) and 45 (115)
Are you sure about the 115/120 calculation?
Assuming 45 is 115/120 that would quite literally mean at the top end one study score is one mark for chemistry. That sort of thing is only seen in subjects like further.
I’d say 47-48 is a better prediction, you are definitely entitled to your opinion though :D
Post by: Sine on November 13, 2018, 03:37:56 pm
In 2013 a score of 114/120 was a 50 (this could be because it was the first year of a combined exam of units 3 and 4).
In 2015 a score of 115/120 was a 48 (I think this year you could only drop ~2 for a 50).
Post by: GuZz on November 13, 2018, 03:46:01 pm
115/120 for chemistry is definitely closer to high 40's.
In 2013 a score of 114/120 was a 50 (this could be because it was the first year of a combined exam of units 3 and 4).
In 2015 a score of 115/120 was a 48 (I think this year you could only drop ~2 for a 50).
I stand corrected.
45 was a bit on the conservative side haha. I simply used a combination of the study scores formula and the rough study score guide on imgur. With no knowledge of the chem exam it was a bit tough.

Post by: Sine on November 14, 2018, 04:58:02 pm
Could someone please predict my study score for Further?low chance of a 50 but but a high 40 is very likely.
SACs ~93/100
Exam 1 40/40
Exam 2 58/60
Rank 1-3 in an average cohort (we don't get told ranks)
Do I have a chance at a 50? and is there any possibility I could get below a 45?
I would estimate a 49 and very unlikely to get below 45 unless your rank isn't as high as you have listed and they get scaled down (dramatically).
hope this is useful :)

Unit 3 and Exam contributes 76% of your study score, while Unit 4 contributes only 24%. I don't know how you have such drastic changes in the marks, but I don't think 30 is possible, unless the grade distribution changes drastically.

Before i state my scores, i'd like to point out that our class average SAC wise is indefinitely going to be lower than our exam average, our teacher said it herself that she marked us harshly so idk how that would impact the study score.

Last years distribution would have had you on the lower end of A+. I have no insight into the difficulty of this years exam, hence the wide-ish range of the prediction. But I do think a low 40s will be in the ball park.

Can I get a raw 30 in Methods with this?You're looking at anywhere from very high 20's (at the worst), to 33-35. Sorry for the large range, but I think a raw 30 is definitely possible, particularly if your cohort is strong and your SAC ranking is high.

Really risky with that literature score :/ Hope it is at least 25.
Predicted ATAR: 82.25 - 85.45
Note that this estimation didn't take your ranking into account, and was based on 2017 grade distribution.

I was wondering if you could predict my study score for Religion and Society 3/4
I understand that it is hard to do because the subject is a bit random at times.
Average Cohort I think;
U3: A+ 92%
U4: A+ 96%
Standings in Cohort: 3/53
Exam Score around 75%

Sacs - 93/100, Rank 33 out of 148, Very strong cohort, however our rank 1 dropped 1-2 marks on the exam.

Again a very strong cohort for accounting, I was in the top half off the cohort but not sure about the exact ranking. Our rank one and two are expected to drop only around 3-4 marks on the exam.

It's still early in the year and I just got my first SAC result for Physics. I got an 80% (Second in class, although i could have done better without dumb mistakes >:( ...) and i was wondering how achievable a high 40+ would be. I am sure i'm capable of higher scores from now on, just wanted to know what i'm in for ahead. I'm also aware that I should try get as high as possible on the exam, not sure about what i need on the SACs. Thanks.
SAC marks isn't really what matters, it's your ranking in your cohort, so I think you are fine. Also, it depends on the strength of your cohort.

if i get 50% for all my sac's/exams for biology what might my study score be??I can't really take sacs into account since the rank is what matters. But 50% on the exam would probably yield a study score a little bit below 30.

I would think you could use it to some extent, however graded assessment letter ranges are quite broad and the alignment with SAC and exam scores does vary each year.

My average for legal studies in AOS 1 is 82% (90%, 84% and 73%) and my cohort is around 60 students with a moderate to strong cohort, I would most likely be placed around 25/60, would it be possible to get a 40 study score assuming that I get an A/A+ on the exam

I just wanted to know how my study score for Eal score will be affected if I'm only ranked against one student and I am ranked one. My school does not wish to combine with any other school for ranking moderation
Thanks in advance
As long as you are rank one in SACs, your moderated SAC mark cannot be negatively affected by someone else in any way. If you get the highest exam mark then you will receive that as your moderated SAC mark, or if the other person in your cohort gets the highest exam mark then you will also receive that as your moderated SAC mark.

Absolutely. Even though your Sac marks are a bit screwy, it depends on your rank. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you and have lost all motivation (been getting average to cohort marks), but as long as you smash your exams, be in at least top 20% of cohort for sacs, and did well on the gat, you could get close to a raw 40 in some of your subjects.

Please can someone help to alleviate my anxiety. I did jack shit for all my classes this year, (which really should answer my question), but didn't think i would have regrets until now. I want a 90, is it still possible?????????
Psychology U4 86%, U3 83% (no idea about cohort average), aiming for A- A+ in exam.
Further U3 81.85%, U4 68% (I would guess this is about the middle). Aiming for a B+ on both exams.
Japanese U3 80%, U4 82% (small class of 12 so hard to guess a rank, but we all do well on exams, about A).
Studio arts U3 written SAC 98%, folio no idea, U4 written SAC 100%, again folio idk. Exam aiming for 95-100%.
English U3 77.9% (about second to top band), U4 81.85%, exam aim = A+

I'm assuming your SACs do not scale at all (unlikely). Also it would be much more accurate if you state whether your predicted exam score will be a high A+, med A+, low A+ etc. since they're weighted differently.
Further: 34
Japanese: 34-38
English: 37-42
Not enough info/don't know the grade distributions for the other subjects but this should give you a general idea as to how you're going.

For a 50 in Methods you want to drop 1-2 marks in exam 2 depending on the difficulty and if possible 0 in exam 1 iirc
With the scores you've given I'd say like 47-48
For Spesh probably the same but I would say exam 1 is less forgiving (the cut offs are highers)
I'm not too sure about the higher end for spesh but I'd say your scores would yield a 45ish

I don't now much about study scores for global politics but I would guess something like mid to mid-high 40s based on an A+ score on the exam being around 87-88%.

I'm curious - so I'm guessing I'm ranked between 6-8 from a about a cohort of 34. (Top 10 is very strong, but probably average or just below for the rest)
UNIT 3: 82%
UNIT 4: 81%
Ex 1 - Hoping for around 80%, probably could do 84ish if I dont do anything stupid.
Ex 2 - 80%
Do you think a score abover 38 will be possible, or even better, a 40?

Someone else could probably predict how many marks you can drop better than me, but generally at 45+ it's about 1 mark to 1 study score (although exam 2 has a little more leeway than exam 1).

Physical education:High 30s/Maybe low 40s. This prediction is not accurate though - and not in the same way that none of them are accurate. Your sac averages, if we assume no scaling, puts you just above the mean. Getting 90% on the exam would put you more than 2 standard deviations above the mean. Unless your SACs scale up significantly and/or you've made drastic changes to how you're studying, your exam prediction is unrealistic (if you're getting 90% on past exams, then it's likely to be the first option).

GA1 - 98/100
GA2 - 90/90
GA3 - 105/120
Most likely low to mid 40s, dependent on how your sacs scale. From the looks of your marks, you're probably rank 1, in which case you're most likely going to be at the lower end of the mid 40's (ie. 42-44) unless someone else did better than you on the exam.
FURTHER MATHS PREDICTIONGA2: 37/40
Hypothetical situation, I am rank 2 in a two person cohort;
I drop 3 marks on exam 1 and 3 marks on exam 2, and rank 1 drops 5 marks in exam 1 and 5 marks in exam 2.
What would my study score be?
I know it would be around 44 if I was rank 1, I want to know how much my rank affects my study score in this case
GA3: 57/60
Both of these are just slightly over the A+ cutoff, meaning that the scaled sac score will also be in a similar area - likely around the 95% mark.
GA2: 35/40
GA3: 55/60
GA 2 is just below the A+ cutoff, GA3 is just above, so you'd probably end up with a GA1 scaled to around the cutoff 90/91%
So the difference will be between getting approx 90-95% on GA1. Which is unlikely to be more than a couple of points (dependent on how you would have otherwise gone, the mark range for each study score gets larger as you go down). Can't really give you anything more precise than that though with any degree of confidence.

You wouldn't go from 44-40 as a result of being rank 2 not rank 1 though. You'd probably only get 40 as rank two if you were going to get 41 as rank 1.

To be reasonably confident of getting a 48, you should hope to get 100% on exam 2 so that you don't need to rely on sac scaling, but you still have a chance if you drop 1 mark.

Hey, I'm currently rank 3 or 4 is a relatively weak cohort (Total of 13 people) for spesh:You're pretty much right at the 37 mark for both GA2 and GA3 (using last years grade distribution, at this percentile it's more likely to change between years). Your GA1 mark is at a lower percentile which could mean it will scale up despite being in a weak cohort, or it could just mean you've studied well for the exams.

The whole pulling down your cohorts score thing isn't as big of a deal as its made out to be. It mostly occurs when you have a small cohort or one that is scoring very unevenly. One person can't really do much damage. Sacs are scaled according to how your cohort goes on exams, so if a lot of people at the top of your cohort bomb the exam, sacs won't scale how they otherwise would. Don't worry about it though.
What STUDY SCORE am i looking at for Further?probably a 45/46 or thereabouts depending on how your sacs scale.
SACS: 92 (Upper end of a strong cohort)
EXAM 1: 39/40
EXAM 2: 56-57/60 :(
This might be a silly question but how do we estimate our study scores using last years grade distributions?The average study score is 30 with a standard deviation of 7. On the grade distribution it will have the mean and standard deviation for each GA. You can use this to approximately work it out (it's more precise for some scores than other). Say for example you have a GA where the mean is 36 and the standard deviation is 9. You got a score of 43 so you know that you're almost one standard deviation above average, ie. just below a 37 study score.
I can only figure out my grades not a numerical number?
You do this for each GA, and then use the weighting of each GA to work out approximately what the average of them all is, and that gives you a rough idea of what to expect. This is more precise for some people than for others - eg. if you're right on a standard deviation then it's more accurate (for that year at least) than approximating if your score is a bit above or below one.
This doesn't work for all subjects, it mostly works up to about 44, anything above that requires using grade cuttoffs, and it also only works up to 37 for further because of the way the mark distribution goes in that subject.
For further the other way you can work it out is that you need around a low A+ average to get a 40. Therefore scores that approximately put you on the A/A+ border are likely to be around a 40, scores slightly higher than that are low 40's, and scores in the upper A+ area are high 40s.
Edit: I'd forgotten, there's another way to work it out too.
% of students to each study score
2% of students will get a score on or above 45
9% of students will get a score on or above 40
26% of students will get a score on or above 35
53% of students will get a score on or above 30
78% of students will get a score on or above 25
93% of students will get a score on or above 20.
9% of students will get a score on or above 40

53% of students will get a score on or above 30

You could try using multiple methods if you want, you'll probably get slightly different results.

Hey guys, I’m kinda new here but I was wondering where I find the specific standard deviations for every subject in order to estimate a study score? Thanks!
Hi welcome! You can find them on the VCAA website, specifically the grade distribution! Just find the page and search up the subject you want and it will come with all the fancy details (mean, median, graphs, standard dev etc). ;D

Its easier to look at the percentages rather than the standard deviation of each subject
Study scores generally have a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 7.

If you are rank 1 in your cohort prior to the exam but people do better than you on the exam what happens?Your sacs will scale to a higher percentile than your exam mark - so it'll increase your mark.
Will you be brought up or down?
Hey everyone,Your exam would be slightly below the 44 mark from last year. Could possibly get up to 44/mid 40s if someone else does better than you on the exam (which would cause your sacs to scale higher than your exam) or if the grade distribution changes.

Hey guys, for Further Mathematics I am rank 5 in a semi decent cohort. I think there may be a few people scoring in the 40s and that's about it.Probably mid 40s, whereabouts in the mid 40s would depend on how your cohort did and what the grade distribution is like this year.
I got 37/40 in exam 1 and got 60/60 in exam 2, knowing I dropped no marks for it. What would my study score roughly be?
For Biology:Last year about 73% on the exam was a 37 and 82% was low 40s. Given you're expecting your sacs to scale down, I don't see much point using them for a prediction. If your sacs end up at a lower percentile than your exam, your ss will be slightly lower than the above, if they end up at a higher percentile, your ss will be slightly higher. Also likely that cutoffs will go up a little which means the study scores associated with those % will go down a little.
U3: 95/100
U4: 84/90
Below average cohort, SACs will scale down. I don't know what my rank is, but I believe it would be top 5 out of 50.

26-28
Probably ~35%+ on Exam 2 for a 25+

What would I need for exam 2 for a 25 study score?To get a 25, you need to be in the top 78% of students. This is about equivalent to getting at least a C.
Using last years grade distribution, a 40% would put you near the top end of a C. Also using last years grade distribution, anything above 51/160 would give you at least a C. You should probably aim a little higher than that to account for possible changes to the grade distribution though. Your SACs will likely end up at the same percentile as your exams for the same reason rank 1s do, so don't worry about that part too much.
Jerome beat me to it but will leave this here anyway.

Just remember that when you say your sacs are hard, VCAA can only judge how difficult they are depending on how your cohort performs on the exam. The fact that you got higher on your SACS than your exam suggests that your SACS aren't that hard at all.
Also, if you did so well on your SACs why not aim higher for Exam 2 :)

The fact that you got higher on your SACS than your exam suggests that your SACS aren't that hard at all.Comparing the percentile of your sac scores to the percentile of your exam scores can give an indication of whether your sacs will scale up or down (obviously doesn't work as well if you do unusually well or unusually badly on exams though). However, comparing % doesn't give any indication of this because the same percentages across GAs aren't necessarily at the same percentile.
e.g. for methods last year,
GA1 mean = 64%
GA2 mean = 52%
GA3 mean = 50%
These are all equivalent scores, which would indicate that it's quite normal for your sac percentages to be (or to scale to be) higher than exam percentages.

For Chem I've been averaging roughly 85% all year... puts me above average in a pretty strong cohort.
What exam score do you think I will need to score a 40, or high 30?
I've been getting high 80's on praccy's, but just wanted ur advice.

Economics:You're around the 40 mark. It's possible you'll get a 40, but I'd say it's only probable if either someone did better than you on the exam (because your sacs would then scale higher than the numbers i'm using). or if the grade distribution changes in a way that benefits you. Otherwise you'll probably get 38/39.\

AccountingUsing just your exam, 39-42. If I include your sacs as they are, it's more in the area of 37-39. I'd expect that your sacs will be moderated up and that the first prediction will be more accurate.

Further: 38-40. I didn't use your sacs for this prediction because they're almost 2 grades below your exam marks so they'll likely scale up and I can't predict how much. If your sacs don't scale up the whole two grade difference then this prediction will be too high.

Is it enough to get a 35??
Post by: PhoenixxFire on November 11, 2019, 11:12:02 am
Been seriously worried about methods lately so am just a bit curious.Yep. Your sacs would have to scale down drastically (like, to a D) for you to get below 35 with that. You're probably around the 37/38 mark.

I could probably predict my own score but i would like a secondary inputFor all of these I've calculated it both just using exam marks, and using exam marks and raw sac marks. As long as your sac either remain where they are or scale up no further than equivalent to your exam percentile, they should be relatively accurate (although changes to the grade distribution will affect them regardless). If your sacs scale down or scale up above your exams then these will be off a little.
For methods:
SACS: 70% average cohort
Exam 1: 33/40
Exam 2: 66/80
For Specialist:
SACS: 55% not sure what cohort is, sac average around 55%

Can someone predict study score:Just off your exam, around a 42. If I include your raw sac marks, it drops down to around 34, but I would just ignore that - either your sacs are going to scale up or your exam prediction is wrong. To get a 40, your sacs would need to scale up to around a mid to high A.

No it doesn't. You could get a 25+ but it will depend on changes to the grade distribution and how sacs scale. When I work it out using percentage per ss and weight it for each section, you're in the top 77% of students - and the top 78% will get a 25+. You're likely a little higher than 77% because you weren't at the bottom of each grade bracket I used to calculate that, which means you have a good chance of getting a 25, but your sacs scaling down or changes to the grade distribution may prevent that.QuoteMethods predict study score

Well my SAC averages were the following: Unit 3: 80%
Unit 4: 87%
Exam: 92% (avg for vcaa exams)
And so if the person above me in terms of ranking got 51% in their trial exam and lets say has potential to increase their mark by 10% where does this put me in terms of study score. (I got an A+ in the same trial exam as the person ranked above me)

To get a 40, your sacs would need to scale up to around a mid to high A.It doesn't really matter what the person ranked above you gets. You're rank 4 so your sac will scale to approximately the 4th highest exam score - regardless of who gets it. So how your sacs scale will depend on how others in your cohort do on the exam, but I can't predict that.

It's possible that you could get a 40, but your highest estimate of your exam score is only just in the 40+ area, so unless the grade distribution changes or your sacs scale to at least as high (preferably higher) percentile than your exam it isn't very likely.

It's possible for you to get a 40, but I wouldn't say it's likely.

It's more likely you'll get a 40 for this than for spesh.

Can't give you anything more precise than that with such a wide exam range.
hey I just have a questionWhat subject?
I kinda stuffed up exam 1 bc I panicked but rn I think I'm gonna get around 40-53%
But I reckon I got around 70-75% in Exam 2
I averaged around 85% on my sacs and they were pre decent sacs imo.
Top 8 ranks are pre strong and the rest are average. I was 2nd and was expected to get 70+% in both exams but obviously, I stuffed up aha
Would I still get a decent study score (above 30) or what ss do you think I'd get?

As always, remember that these are just an estimation, factors such as sac moderation, changes to the grade distribution, and incorrectly predicting your exam results will reduce accuracy. I've calculated the range based on both just your exam, and your exam with your raw sac marks (unless you're rank 1) which means the range should be relatively accurate as long as your sacs either stay where they are or scale up no higher than your exam percentile.redpanda83EAL: 36-39
Further: 44-46
Methods: 44-47
Chemistry: 42-45Ironiic37-40
It's possible that you could get a 40, but your highest estimate of your exam score is only just in the 40+ area, so unless the grade distribution changes or your sacs scale to at least as high (preferably higher) percentile than your exam it isn't very likely.jane0013spesh: 38-40

Yo this is going to sound like a weird request. But I just got my statement of marks, what study scores correlate to getting a 74/80 in exam 1 and a 116/120 in exam 2 for FURTHER MATHS. Thank you. I believe I may have received an incorrect study scoreLow SAC marks after scaling could cause your study score to be lower than expected. You should get a statement of study score and check your scaled SAC marks.

So what does study score do those marks correlate to? I lost 3 marks in exam 1 (hence 74/80) and got 116/120 in exam 2. I did get a statement of marks. That is how I know my exam results, what would my study score? Just curious :PAssuming this is further maths probably 45 if rank 1(or equivalent).
If you are a lower rank it can impact your score negatively.

Hypotheticaly....I don't want to overstep my mark as I never did Bio, but based on the standard deviations and numbers observed from their distribution reports, I'd say that would be around the 38-41 raw range. The high exam score should cover you, and assuming your classmates do roughly the same.

What kind of marks are required to have a chance at a 48+ ss for English, Further, Legal, Bio and Psych?
Is it at that point about being rank 1 and acing the exam? or so your sac marks play a bigger part than ranking in the top percentiles
For english, the following should net you a 48.
SAC - 100%
Exam - 54-55
(100% SAC + 52/60 scored me a 46, 100% SAC + 53/60 scored a friend 47)
For biology, the following should net you a 49-50
SAC - 100%
Exam: 110/120
If you have a strong cohort, then being rank one becomes less relevant. e.g. I was probably only around rank 10 in english but my SACs scaled to 100%. For other subjects, you can just use the grading distribution as a reference for grade cutoffs. here

What does it look like for SACS and exam to net a 42-44 in English?
Post by: Sine on March 06, 2020, 12:33:34 pm
What does it look like for SACS and exam to net a 42-44 in English?Not last year but I know of those who have got
100% sacs + 50/60 for a 45
99%-99.5% sacs + 50/60 for a 44
In english sacs matter a lot. So really good sacs (close to 100) + a low A+ (48/60) have resulted in 42s in the past. You can try to extrapolate from that.

Hey everyone I recently just got 81 on my 3/4 bio SAC1 and I was wondering have I lost my chance to get 45+ as a study score?No, your raw score has minimal insignificance your rank is much more important.
Plus it is really early in the year so even if the 81 is a low rank you can make thr difference up by doing well on the rest of your sacs

Hey Sine
for English, is the rank of more significance or your overall score?
Not Sine, but English is 50% SACs and 50% exam. Both rank and exam score are equally important. However, your SAC score will be scaled up/down based on your exam score. If you mean 'overall' score as in SAC score averages: VCAA uses your rank to help with the moderation of your SAC marks. Basically, try your best to rank high if you are aiming for high scores, as SACs are an important component of VCE English (or any other subject).

For both subjects you still need to improve your rank before the end of unit 3 and get a higher rank for unit 4. Having a strong cohort might not help you as much as you think. Especially if you are in the bottom quartile.
Also you would want to be scoring at least an A+ for the chemistry exam and a mid-high A+ for psychology.

For the exam you would be aiming for anything in the range of 50+/60 for a 45.
Given sacs in english are 50% if you score really well on sacs (i.e.perfect scaled sacs) you can get away with that a 50/60 but if your sacs are in the lower range obviously you will need a higher exam score.

Hey everyone
I'm aiming for a 30+ in chem and I am in a pretty average cohort (perhaps even a little below average). There are only 2 students that I know of who are in the 40+ range. What ranking do I need to be in the safe zone of 30+ and what exam mark do I need? :))

What exam score would I be looking at to get around a 47 in methods if my SACs scaled to a percentage in the mid-90s (93-96%)?Depends on the year but roughly 113-117/120. Most years 116/120 is fine.
These are kind of based on 100/100 sacs so potentially 0.5-1 marks higher but not too sure.

I'm pretty new to this so if I posted wrong correct me please. If I am rank in the middle of my cohort there is 12 people and I achieved 80% in the first sac and the highest was 94 and the people on top of me got 84 and 88. If these are our sac marks at the end of the year, can I get 45Would depend on the strength of your cohort. If you believe that the three people above you can score 45+ exam scores then it is very possible. If that does not happen you would need a higher exam score than what would normally yield a 45 and a bit of luck.

hey Sine, what kind of sac marks/ranking would you estimate for me to have a fair chance of a 45?I don't know the strength of your cohort but 45 is a very high study score so in any cohort you want to be right up there in the top "group". In weaker cohorts this group may be 1 student (so you would need to be around rank 1) but In a strong cohort that might be 15 students so being in the top 15 would be fine.
You could still score 45+ from lower rankings but lower sac rankings make it so much harder since you would need something like a English exam score which correlates to a 49-50 study score to yield a 45.

if i have 60% average currently what does my average need to be to bar able to get a 45?? what would i need to get on the exam? is it even possible?! pls halpNo way of exactly knowing what your average should be. Depending on your SAC difficulty your 60% might be on track for a 45 or could be well below. The only real certainty imo is your exam score needs to be within the realms of a 45. At the top end it becomes harder to rely on sac scores and cohort strength and you need to pull your own performances.

If I am ranked last in my cohort (or very low), and people do well in my class (30+) can I still get a 30+ as well if I do good in the examIf everyone in your cohort scores 30+ and you are ranked last in your cohort you will need an average exam score to score about a 30 so it would be very possible.

My scores have been
74% (average 63%)
72%
72% (average 60)
The cohort has 180 people and is quite strong up the top.
I really wanted to get a 40+ study score but I’m not sure if that’s still realistic. I’m missing my goal of 80% by two marks each time and it’s the smallest silly mistakes it’s not like I don’t know the content. I messed up the latest sac because it was online but I think we have a validation task when we go back? I’m not sure.
Is a 40+ study score out of reach??

I'm in year 11 and I am currently doing both Biology and Food Studies 3 and 4. I have just received my feedback for Food Studies Outcome One, and have overall received a 90.5%. Is this a good result? I really want to get a study score of 40+ for Food Studies as I really enjoy it and believe its possible. Has this 90.5% set me back at all in achieving this goal or is it good?
With my Biology I am also quite nervous as last year I was getting perfect or almost perfect for my Biology SACs, not to sound snotty, but no they have dropped to about 78% for an average in each SAC. I haven't received my marks for Outcome One yet I'm just nervous and I really want to get something about 30 for Biology. Is this still possible?
Thanks so much, hope this post also helps others :)

Yes, a 40+ study score is still attainable - I don't see why not, heck, a 45+ study score could still be attainable. At the end of the day, there is no way to measure study scores based upon SAC scores without real quantitative data from your school regarding cohort strength and past performance. Also, the majority of the marks are still up for grab in the exam. I know that poor SAC performance can be disheartening (been there did that), but you should simply focus on the goal ahead and take action instead of dwelling on the past.

Now that unit 3 is worth more than unit 4 I don’t think I can get the 40-45 study score I wanted. I know for a fact my schools SACs will either stay the same or scale down as there’s 200 of us (a few strong ones) and many people who don’t care about school.
Unit 3 SACs

In an at home sac everyone body cheated but I didn’t so ended up getting 70% while a lot of people got 100%. It’s as if my school doesn’t care so isn’t holding a validation task :(It is still very possible to score in the 40's as long as you ace the exam. If the people who cheated scored 100% on the sacs, but did bad on the exam then their sacs would get scaled down. Vaca will assume the teacher is a lenient marker because people scored really high on sacs, but did ass on the exam. My advice is to do your best from here onwards :)

I just got back my first Chem Sac on U3 AOS 1 and I got 32.5/50 (65%). The average was roughly 40/50 (80%). My cohort is pretty strong however I'm not sure whether I can get a 40+ score still and if so, what type of marks do I need for the remaining 4 Sacs?
I know I should probably focus on studying and improving instead of focusing on the scores but I'm pretty nervous since I kinda need a 99+ unless my UCAT is amazing.
Post by: Stormbreaker-X on May 31, 2020, 04:01:25 pm
Hey I'm ThunderDragonOnly your ranking matters, in the end sacs get moderated so it is very difficult to say for certain. But if your cohort is strong, your sacs get moderated up. The best thing is to ace the remaining sac, try to score above class average and do well on the exam. A study score of 40+ is doable tho.

What rank should you be in order to get a 45+ in English in an average cohort? Also the same question for a 40+. What sort of exam mark should you be getting for these respective scores with a ranking of 5 out of a cohort of 25? Kindly appreciated
Well SAC scaling depends on cohort strength, but, here's what you'd approximately need on the exam if your U3&4 SACs were 100%.
43/60 = 40ish
52/60 = 46ish
57/60 = 49ish

I've looked at grade distributions but would I be fair to assume in order to achieve a 40+ in all subjects one would need to be achieving marks of 90+% and be ranked either 1st or 2nd? Would it be accurate enough to have 90% or higher as a goal for a sac or the exam and could it allow me a chance for a 40+ or would I have to be more 'harsh' and have a goal of 95% or higher to have a more realistic chance at a 40+??Really can't tell. For example, you could be rank 10 and get a 50, or be rank 1 and get a 35. In the end, the exam is the biggest factor at play. You can always estimate the probability of something using grade distributions from previous years though, so looking at the A+ cut off mark and the graphs which correlate a certain exam score to a study score can help, but its veracity over the years will fluctuate. Sac score percentages mean next to nothing, it's your ranking that matters, and if you are rank 1 then you are the sole determinant for your study score come exam time. Definitely aim high for all sacs/exams you do, but I will tell you that you could have gotten a 50 in psych last year with less than 90% due to the sheer difficulty of the exam. Take that as you will.

90% in SACs? Well, SACs depend solely on your cohort strength and the difficulty of your SACs. e.g. if you have a really strong cohort, you don't need to rank extremely well for your SACs to scale - let's say you're in a cohort of 50 people and you're ranked 15th averaging 70%. Now, if the 14 people above you all got A+'s on the exam, then your SAC of 'only' 70% will scale up accordingly. Conversely, if the 14 people above you all got B+'s on the exam, then your SAC of 70% will scale accordingly as well.
In terms of the grading distribution, the benchmark normally used is just A+'s in all GA's for a 40 - so you'd be focussing on the exam mark you'd need for an A+.

But honestly I think 80's or 90's + doing well on exam can get you a good study score. Just remember that you need A+ or A and you can touch that 40. Good luck buddy.

In online learning we had SACs and I (regretfully) didn’t cheat while many others did. They emailed tutors to write their essays etc hence got 100% (And people who usually get 60% got 80s!!!) while I only got 70% (I’m usually at least 80+ I’m not sure what happened)
My cohort ranking is quite low and there is about 200 people? I doubt the SACs will scale up and I know for sure the people above me who cheated will not perform well on the exam, they’ll just perform at normal level.
So
GA1: 77/100 (haven’t gotten AA mark back so could be more)
GA2: 80/100

Hey guys I just got my sac marksGiven your ranking I think it will be tough but possible imo. If you are rank 3 you would like to see 2 other people scoring quite well on the exam to make sure your sacs go to a decent mark in addition to that you would need to obviously have a 47-50 equivalent exam scores as well.

As always thank you!I would say it becomes a lot more difficult but can't be certain on the specific study scores which become available/unavailable. What is likely to happen if rank 1-2 get 39-42 study scores is that you would need exam scores that are around a 50 raw in order to get mid-high 40s so that you can offset your lower rank.

If rank 1-2 end up performing in the exam which is equivalent to 39-42 study scores (Idk if this means they drop 8-11 marks in exam 1 and 2) and if I end up dropping 4-5, do I get to keep my study score of 45-46 raw? Or does this mean they drop me down? Sorry for asking so many questions, but I am worrying a lot since I'm ranked 1 in spesh but ranked 3rd-4th in a pretty weak cohort for methods - I flunked the first sac which weighs the most :((
Post by: Sine on July 14, 2020, 06:01:18 pm
In methods some years you can drop a heap of marks for that 40-45 range. Losing 8-11 could potentially be something like a 42-45.
Thank you so much.

You are right in saying dropping 4-5 is usually around a 45-47.
If this were to happen yes it would mean that you drop down a bit but I don't it will be too many study scores if you drop 4-5 and they drop 8-11.

I've been averaging around 80-85 in my SACs, and I'm guessing my leftover SACs will be similar to this. My teachers I think are fair markers similar to VCAA standard (ish). I'd say I'm ranked in the top 15 in a large cohort. The top is fairly strong, rest is average.
I'm thinking I'll maintain similar marks in my exam.

Would say 45+, definitely high 40s.
I went to the same school, and scored pretty much the same as you in terms of SACs (90 for unit 3 and 88 for unit 4 or something like that) and also ranked pretty much the same as you. I thought I lost around 10 marks in the exam (this was 2017 btw), but ended up getting 50 quite surprisingly (don't know my actual exam score since I didn't order the statement of marks). Also had a friend who scored pretty much the same as me and they also got 50 that year as well.

Is it possible to predict my study scores for methods and chemistry? I know these are going to be my bottom 10% increments, but I would like to get above a 25 for methods (as it's a pre-req).
Currently, in chemistry, i'm averaging a 70% in a weak-average cohort (ranked 2-3 of 6). Assuming i continue this through unit 4, and get a 60% on the exam, what study score could I manage? (I'm not as fussed for chemistry, as I already have bio for pre-reqs :) )
As for methods... well, I suck. I'm averaging a 50% in a weak cohort (ranked about 2-3 of 10). Assuming I continue this mark for unit 4, and get a 50% on the exam, is it possible for me to get a 25?

It's important to note that scaling is not going to mean much if you're at the top of the cohort - those in the upper quartile tend to have their SAC marks more closely resemble their exam marks, whereas the people in the other quartiles will have their SAC marks shift based on those in the upper quartile. For methods, you're fine and probably won't see much SAC shifting - for chemistry, this might be a bit more of a problem.
Having said that, your scores for chemistry seem quite good - if you were to get a 60% on the exam, the average mark in 2019 was closer to 40%. I reckon you'd be looking at something above 30, if not 30 itself - though this assumes you can actually get that 60% exam mark, because your SAC marks will bring you down, particularly being in a weak cohort.
Methods is more of an issue - your exam scores are pretty bang on the average again, so I would suggest a 30 in that case, but those SAC marks are the kind of SAC marks you'd get with a study score of 23 - and that's before the scaling down of your SACs you're likely to get. With that in mind, I think you'd be able to get above a study score of 25, since the exams collectively contribute to 2/3 of your study score.
However, both of these assumptions only work if you DO hit those exam marks - but you've gotta be able to hit those exam marks in exam conditions. In the words of Amy Santiago:
So, make sure to do some practices where there's a bit more stress, some distractions, etc., and then see if you can still nail those exam scores you think you can get.

Since English SACs are worth 50% does that mean that it’s a lot harder to score 40+ with bad SACs?I got similar SAC marks with you so I’m going to say (assuming sacs don’t scale)
In online learning we had SACs and I (regretfully) didn’t cheat while many others did. They emailed tutors to write their essays etc hence got 100% (And people who usually get 60% got 80s!!!) while I only got 70% (I’m usually at least 80+ I’m not sure what happened)
My cohort ranking is quite low and there is about 200 people? I doubt the SACs will scale up and I know for sure the people above me who cheated will not perform well on the exam, they’ll just perform at normal level.
So
GA1: 77/100 (haven’t gotten AA mark back so could be more)
GA2: 80/100
GA3: ??? What would I need for the exam to yield 40-45?
I know I’ve really messed up considering unit 3 is worth 30% now, I probably should’ve cheated but I hate cheating :((((
Low 40s: 47-50/60
45: ~54/60
you are right in that you have to work harder if your sac marks aren’t the best for english.
Post by: Coolgalbornin03Lo on July 20, 2020, 08:16:44 pm
This is a D on last years grade distribution. I’m not sure if the SACs will scale up to a C. But anyway I know I can get 60% on the exams because I knew my stuff but the SACs were just too hard. Stuff they hadn’t yet taught yet and we are learning today was on there.

Unit 3
Creative: 83%
Text response: 70% :-[ (was online I messed up)
Language analysis: 80%+ (Haven’t received back yet).
Unit 3 average: 77%
Unit 4 aiming for 85% average
Unit 3= 30% U4=20%
On exam maybe 48/60??
Would this get a 40?

I was wondering if anyone could predict English study score since the weighting of unitv3 SACs has changed?
Unit 3
Creative: 83%
Text response: 70% :-[ (was online I messed up)
Language analysis: 80%+ (Haven’t received back yet).
Unit 3 average: 77%
Unit 4 aiming for 85% average
Unit 3= 30% U4=20%
On exam maybe 48/60??
Would this get a 40?
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's unlikely you'd get a 40 with these scores. You'd probably get close, and I believe you're fairly likely to get more than 37 (on the assumption that your SAC scores don't scale badly and you DO get the scores you've reported for your exam and unit 4 SACs), but 40 unfortunately may be pushing it. But, that doesn't mean all is lost.
Unit 3 you can't do anything about - but it's only 25% of your score. Based on that score alone, you'd be looking at getting ~36. If you get 85% on your unit 4 SACs, this would turn into ~37 (an 85% in unit 4 would correspond to ~38), and a 48/60 would bring that up to ~39 (with a 48/60 corresponding to a study score of ~41). So, if you can beef up both of those scores by even just 5%, you will astronomically increase your chances of getting >40.
Importantly - the second paragraph with my analysis is based on the grade distribution in 2019. The grade distribution can and will change for this year, so don't take that paragraph for gospel. If anything, use it only as a guide, your study scores may vary from my predictions by as many as 5 scores. And that's not because I'm bad at predicting (although I'm sure there are better at it), that's just the way of how these things go.

I am not usually the one to dwell on numbers but going into Unit 4 I was wondering what kind of exam/SAC scores would be needed :)
Methods 3/4 (above average-strong cohort of approx 50):
SAC 1 (Unit 3, worth 22%): A+ (my school standardized the marks however I think I got between 75-90%)
SAC 2 (Calculus, worth 12%): I reckon I will get between 70-90%, hopefully at the higher end of the spectrum
Rank: I don't know but I think I am in the top 5-10 students
Possible Exam Results:
Exam 1: 90%ish
Exam 2: 75%
Will this be good enough for a 42+? What exam marks would be needed for a 45+ with a decent rank in a pretty strong cohort?
Further 3/4 (strong cohort of approx 60):
SAC 1 (Data Analysis, worth 17%): A+ (my school did not give out numerical marks however I am pretty sure I got 95%)
SAC 2 (Financial, worth 9%): 93%
SAC 3 (Networks, worth 9%): Definitely my weakest topic however I hope that I can maintain by 90+ average, realistically I think I will get 80-90
Rank: I don't know but I think I am in the top 5-10
What exam results do I need to gain a 45+?
Thankyou!

I mean, as I said, it's still very possible for you to get above 40 - just not with the scores you plan for unit 4 and your exam. The 77% you've got right now is only 25% of your study score - you've still get 75% of it to make. The important bit is that you need to not wallow in self-pity and work fucking hard for it. Relying on stories of others still doing well - while good for hope - is going to lead to complacency, you need to take your future by the balls and work hard.
Hi can someone please tell me the highest possible study score I can get for Biology 3/4

Unfortunately, this unit 3 mark would be giving you a study score of less than 37 even if your SAC marks don't scale down - thankfully, unit 3 only counts for 20% of your study score. If you want to still get above 40, you'll want to aim for >90% in your next set of SACs (based on last year's grade distribution, apparently people do much better in unit 4 SACs?), and probably >190 marks on your written exam.

For methods, I think you're in good stead to get ~40. Your SACs and exam 1 aren't the issue, however - your exam 2 is unfortunately a bit of a problem here. You'll want to be bumping that up to more than 85% to be guaranteeing a 42. Get everything over 90% and you've probably got a good chance to get 45.
For further, if you get 80 on that Networks SAC, you'd need to be getting damn close to full marks on the exams to get 45+. If you get 90, you'll still want to be getting close to full marks. Sorry, that's just the way Further goes - predicting its higher end is really, really hard. But, I definitely think you're on track and haven't risked getting it with your marks.

Hi thanks soo much for your reply, I was losing hope as I thought 40+ was out of reach. But I am alittle confused when you said I need to get greater than 190 marks for exam, isnt it out of 120? Or did you mean 90 thanks alot cheers :)

Sorry - the grade distribution lists the score as doubled, which I completely forgot. The exam is out of 120, so you'll want to be aiming for >95 marks
The reason the grades are listed as double is because the way grading works is that get two separate people to mark the exam, and your grade is determined by adding those two marks together (unless the two markers give considerably different scores, at which point things get hectic)

I’m doing quite badly this year in 3/4 Bio, I’m currently average an 81 in Unit 3 and We are doing our first SAC for unit 4 now and for part 1 or the bio SAC I got 6/10, which isn’t the best. The rest of the poster SAC is out of 42 which means I can still get 36 marks assuming I get everything correct. So if I do I’ll be getting 36 out of 42 which is an 87 or so. If I continue to average in the 80s despite them being low or high 80s would I still be able to get a 45+ study score for bio this year?what is your sac ranking and cohort strength?
80s in biology is definitely not always a bad score. Sometimes these are great scores given how hard some sacs can be. There are plenty of people who had biology sacs in the 80s and still got 45+ scores, however, they all ranked highly.

I don't know what my SAC ranking is in my school but I know I'm definitely not at the bottom but I'm not at the top. I'm potentially in the top 15-20 people out of three classes? I'm not too sure. Its a rather stronger cohort this year compared to last.

Is he correct in saying I’m barred from getting a 30? He said this while looking at another student from last years data who got a similar score on a less heavily weighted sac then on the next two sacs got 60%. In the Exam they got B and B+ but only ended up with 29. So is it truly impossible to get 30-35 what score would be needed?
Post by: waterangel82 on July 25, 2020, 08:09:41 pm
In Methods my teacher said I can get a 25 but 30 would be pushing it. I got 36% on the unit 3 Methods sac worth 22% of our study score. The average was 52% in a cohort of maybe 150? The sacs will scale up I’m pretty sure?

I think getting 30-35 is definitely not impossible. Back when I did methods (2016), I remember someone in my cohort failed in part of the first SAC (<40%), but they got 37 in the end. Part of SAC scaling also depends on cohort strength, so since I went to a select entry school, our SACs would have definitely scaled up. Looking at the 2019 grade distribution, a B/B+ is equivalent to a score of around high 50s to low 60s in the exam, so if you can achieve higher than this, a 30-35 ss is possible.
My tip is not get too bogged down by your teacher's comment that getting a 30 would be 'pushing it', but rather focus on what your strengths and weaknesses in methods are. Since you got 36% on your first SAC, what areas did you not understand? By identifying these, trying to understand your shortcomings, and further testing your knowledge through more practice questions would be a good way to go next. I believe these are really good starting approaches to set you on track for a 30-35, and even higher.
Bear in mind that teachers do tend to make conservative estimates, and there have been many cases where people's actual study scores have been significantly higher than their teacher's predictions. So my advice to you is to make sure you understand as much Unit 4 content as possible to push that SAC ranking up. And if you still can't grasp a certain concept, don't be afraid to ask your teacher/post on ATARnotes, we're always here to help!

In Methods my teacher said I can get a 25 but 30 would be pushing it.My friend’s teacher said she wouldn’t get above 25 for accounting. She ended up getting 41. And this is for a subject where sacs contribute more to the study score than it does for methods. You’ve definitely still got a chance.

I am freaking out and very curious to know what my scores will be. I am in a reasonably strong cohort whose biology and chemistry sacs will scale up. Can you please help me with predicting my score.
Biology:
Unit 3 average is 86%
Rank : 11/80
Guessing unit 4 average will be 80%
Can you please tell me what marks I need in end of year exam to achieve 45 and to achieve 50
Please note my school sacs are harder than vcaa and the sac marking is strict
Chemistry:
I am really worried about chemistry. I work so hard on this subject, when sac is done, i feel i have done well and in the end i do not see the mark that I expected. Honestly i do not know what mistake I am doing.
My unit3 is average is 64%
Rank: 75/180
Unit4: honestly i am having enough of guessing on this one. As i never got expected mark in unit3 sac. My teacher was telling me that they deliberately mark very strict so that they could space out everyone in cohort
I am hoping to do well in end of year exam though.
Can you please tell me if there are any chances of me getting 40+ in this subject. If not what score should i predict for this subject. Also what score do i need in the end of year exam to get 40.
Appreciate any help.

For biology, to achieve 45-50 with your SAC ranking, I believe it's good to aim for 110+/120 in the exam (looking at the 2019 grade distribution). I did biology in 2017, and in terms of SAC ranking, I think I was around the same as you. I thought I lost around 10 marks in the final exam (A+ cutoff for both 2017 and 2019 was the same), and surprisingly ended up with a 50 (Idk my actual exam mark bc I didn't order a statement of results). So it is definitely possible to achieve a 45-50 as long as you can smash the exam.
To get a 40+ in chemistry, I think it's good to aim for a 102+/120, given that your SAC ranking is in the middle. Looking at last year's grade distribution, this exam mark would give you a solid A+ (A+ cutoff for exam was around 75%), so your SAC marks should get decently scaled.
You mentioned that you don't know the mistakes you are making, so I was wondering is it because your school doesn't hand back the SACs that you did? IMO, a good starting point to identify areas you need to work on is to actually look at the areas and types of questions you lose marks in these SACs. Or if your school doesn't let you look at your SACs, look at the types of topics/questions you tend to misunderstand in practice exams (VCAA past papers are excellent, they are better indicators than SACs) or answer incorrectly. Whilst it is excellent to see that you work hard in chemistry, working smart is equally as important.

Well, because no one knows the difficulty or strength of your cohort, I don't think anyone can give an accurate prediction. That is, generally, a VCAA A+ is around a 8/10, and a VCAA A is around a 7/10 - so according to VCAA, your 75% would be an A, but you've indicated its a C+?? If you did end up with 3 A's we'd be looking around the mid-high 30's or even low 40's depending on how your SACs scale.

Well generally, if you're highly ranked, you basically determine your own study score i.e. how your sacs scale will solely depend on how you perform on the exam. If you're consistently around the high 80 to low 90s, you're looking at low-mid 40s. But if your SACs scale really well i.e. you do well on the exam, then you're looking at high 40s.

What if I’m unit 3 average high 70s and in unit 4 mid 80s? School is which SACs will definitely not scale down and may scale up.

SAC1 : 92% (Rank ~ 2-4/40 [I'm pretty sure I was top 1 or 2 of my class, but not too sure about the other class]
Est. Average: High 50's to Low 60's
SAC2: 100% (Highest mark in cohort)
Est. Average: 55% (Was largely considered a difficult SAC).
SAC3: 90%
Est. Average: 50-55% (Was considered even more difficult than SAC2)
I estimate my overall rank to be anywhere from 1-4 / ~40-45.
Assuming at least 90% in the exam (I aim though for 100 and expect at least 95%), is 42+ achievable? And is 45+ achievable?
Thanks.

Hey is it still possible for me to get a 40+ study score with C-C+ grades in unit 3 where it was originally worth 20% but now worth 25% and because of coronavirus U4 sacs are scaled down less (originally 14% now 9%). So is it still possible for a 40+ study score?What subj.?
In a relatively strong cohort btw
Thank you!

I’m not an expert at this and am just saying you will definitely get over 40 with those scores- maybe even almost 45 your ranking is really good don’t worry. 45/60 or something like that is an A+ so I think you’ll safely get in the 40s

For study score prediction what is a “strong” cohort? How do you know the sacs will scale up? For example I go to a school whose median study score is 33 and has floated between 60-80th school in vic in the past few years. Although now it’s a bit higher than that. What would you (hypothetically) say about this?I would say your cohort is likely to be well above average. However, the strength of the cohort can't really be based upon the school on it's own as the strength would differ for every subject. Although, the school strength is usually a good predictor of a cohort strength.
You can never be certain whether your sacs will scale up. It depends on the raw scores of the sacs for your cohort and your cohorts performance on the exam. In the instance, you have a so-called "strong" cohort with teacher's making easy sacs and a lot of people scoring high 90s and 100's it is possible sacs could scale down for some.

What about 48-50/60 assuming sacs don’t scale.
Also Because it’s just a ranking and I am ranked nth. What if the nth exam score is much lower than my 78% does that mean I can end up getting much lower than the letter grade ‘A’ this usually is?
Post by: eloisegrace on August 23, 2020, 12:29:50 pm
I have received my final SAC scores for the year and I was wondering what scores I am heading towards. For context, my school is a high ranking school with a median SS of like 35 so yeah haha.
Further
Data Analysis - A+ (my school did not give out numerical grades but I think I got 95%)
- the average was a B (70-75%)
Financial - 92.5% (I don't know the average)
Networks - 100% (Again, I don't know the average)
I don't know the ranks but I am pretty sure I am top 3-5 out of a strong cohort of 50. The further SACs have been quite straightforward except for Data Analysis which was very broad.
I am hoping for full marks for exams but I was wondering what scores I need to get a 45+.
Methods
Unit 3 - A+ (my school did not give out numerical grades but I think I got 85%)
- the average was apparently a C
Calculus - 85%
Again, I don't know ranks but I am pretty sure I am top 5 out of 50 in a pretty strong cohort. My schools SACs for Methods are extremely challenging and quite ambiguous at times.
What exams scores are required for a 40? 45? What SS would I get with a 95% Exam 1 score and an 85% Exam 2 score?
Thank you!
Post by: Sine on August 23, 2020, 01:11:50 pm
What about 48-50/60 assuming sacs don’t scale.Definitely a better chance at a 40, potentially even higher for a 50/60.
Also Because it’s just a ranking and I am ranked nth. What if the nth exam score is much lower than my 78% does that mean I can end up getting much lower than the letter grade ‘A’ this usually is?
Yeah, it is possible for your sacs to scale down. However, the idea that an nth A exam score results in an nth rank getting an A is not completely true. Same goes for the actual sac score. There is a lot more standardisation that takes place than just nth exam score = 80 thus nth sac score = 80. Both a bit of oversimplification but still get the correct idea though.
For instance, last year 14% of students got A+'s for unit 3 and 14% of students got A+'s for unit 4. So around mid-A and above on the exam correlated to an A+ sac. However, the letter grade actually has little relevance it is more about where you sit in relation to the cohort given each letter grade is a spectrum. So a high A could be virtually identical to a low A+ and a low A when compared to a high A+ is about 20+ marks apart.

100% in Sacs + 35/60 (58%) said 40.
You would most likely need 10 more exam marks for that.

Which means those who cheat on English SACs will reap rewards because even if they perform at their normal “average” ability on the exam, SACs will save them :(

Hey Everyone! I currently have straight 81s in all of my Biology SACs in unit 3 and so far , 4. We're currently about to do online SACs if I do manage to keep holding on to an A average or even get an A+ would I still be able to get a 45 + raw study score?
it depends on where you're ranked in your cohort and for a 45 I'm pretty sure you would need all A+. If you do great on the final exam your SACs can also scale up to A+ as well. All the best :D

I have no clue WHERE you got this interpretation from, but if someone "cheats" in an exam, their mark is forcibly changed to as low as 0. Doesn't matter how well you did in your SACs if you're only getting 50% of your total marks. To put this in perspective, in 2017, one student decided to keep writing despite being told to stop. Their grade was reduced by a whole letter/plus thingy - that's potentially 15/60 marks gone - and that was for as simple as writing another sentence.

Look, 45+ might not be possible - keep in mind that last year, an 81 got you a B+ mark for your Biology SACs, and that a third of students got a B+ or higher. That doesn't mean that's what will happen this year, but these things tend to have a trend that doesn't get bucked quite that drastically from year to year. But it's still worth working hard and trying to get the best score you can.

If you're above the median, you'll probably find your SACs will scale up slightly - THIS IS NO GUARANTEE. DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A GUARANTEE. IF YOU DO, YOU'LL PROBABLY BE DISAPPOINTED. So, I'm going to do this on the assumption that your SAC marks don't change. Note that the first three numbers are essentially a conversion of your score for each bit to a study score based on last year's data.
Biology: 37-34-41 = 39 ---> I predict anywhere between 36 and 42
Chemistry: 31-33-41 = 37 -> I predict anywhere between 34 and 40

About 81 getting B+ for Bio, isn't that his raw so it only determines his ranking? Isn't it the scaled version that contributes towards the study score?
Post by: Sine on August 25, 2020, 01:10:33 pm
Hey keltingmeith! I admire how much you contribute to the community :DYeah, 81 is just raw so is a lot less useful than someone's rankings. I can't really say anything specficallly with regards to ErnieTheBirdi but I have seen that Biology tends to be notorious for difficult sacs (obviously not all schools so it will depend on their sac difficulty/rank). It is not uncommon for even rank 1 in biology for some schools to be in the mid-80s and then scaling to the 90s/100.

See Sine's comment - if I don't have the rankings or what level the school is, all I can assume is that the mark I'm told is the mark they'll get for SACs. I probably should have clarified, but I was in a bit of a rush, sorry.

I've just written and published a study score calculator that may prove useful to you both. I will add that both of your scores (namely idk2020, but also a fair few of your scores, saraoc) are quite high and you can assume that the calculator is likely going to underestimate what your actual scores are, but it's also likely to give you very similar marks I would've guess for you anyway. Try it out, and let me know what you think!

Look, 45+ might not be possible - keep in mind that last year, an 81 got you a B+ mark for your Biology SACs, and that a third of students got a B+ or higher. That doesn't mean that's what will happen this year, but these things tend to have a trend that doesn't get bucked quite that drastically from year to year. But it's still worth working hard and trying to get the best score you can.
If you're above the median, you'll probably find your SACs will scale up slightly - THIS IS NO GUARANTEE. DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A GUARANTEE. IF YOU DO, YOU'LL PROBABLY BE DISAPPOINTED. So, I'm going to do this on the assumption that your SAC marks don't change. Note that the first three numbers are essentially a conversion of your score for each bit to a study score based on last year's data.
I was just wondering since we are all getting Seas because of COVID will there still be a chance I can get 45+? or at least 42+?

Look, we don't know the mechanics of how this change is going to work, so there's no way of predicting this, I'm really sorry. I don't think what they're doing will affect you that much, however.

I was just wondering since we are all getting Seas because of COVID will there still be a chance I can get 45+? or at least 42+?Strictly speaking SEAS doesn't affect your study score (unless something's changed). It affects your selection rank which means it boosts your ATAR to meet entry requirements for uni. You won't see what your selection rank is though, since all you're given is your raw ATAR but you can use calculators to check.

So, I've calculated using my study score calculator, and that predicts a study score of 40+. The hard bit is figuring out how your SACs will scale - but I've decided to assume that ranks 1-4 will get SACs scaled to match their exam marks of 75-80%, and just gave you the low-ball of that plus a bit more at 70%. Having said that, you could probably expect a little closer to 42+, since my calculator is likely under-predicting with exam scores that high.

I have been averaging high 80s at my school when the average is usually about 73 however in the last SAC the average was 73 and I got 77, will this have a HUGE impact on my study score? If you would like I can PM the school.
U3 average: 87

I know one bad SAC won't ruin your study score, but I was aiming for 45 so I think it has.

Straight up - I'm not an expert on GP, but I do know a bit about VCAA statistics. GP has an EXTREMELY strong top-end looking at the stats, so it would make sense that you need to be scoring really highly to ensure a 40. Typically, my study-score calculator should under-predicts at the extreme high end - I don't think it's doing that in this case. But also, do note, that last year an A+ was anywhere between 138-160/160, so the mark you think you get would count as an A+.
Literature: 33-38
You'd think it might be higher with your grades, but that lower exam mark tells me that your SACs will likely scale down, so my prediction assumes your SACs are 10% lower than indicated so that they more closely match your exam score. Sorry!
English: 37-41
Ditto for the above.
Methods: 33-38
Ditto again, but I've assumed that SACs go down by 15%. Do note, however, that the exams for methods are much higher weighted than the SACs (usually it's 50-50 coursework:exam, in methods it's actually 34:66), and in particular it matters what you get for exam 1 vs exam 2. I've assumed both your exams you get 70% for this prediction.

Rank 1-5

Unit 4

105/120
So, I've assumed that your SACs will scale down as well. Partly because at the upper-end of the rankings, the SACs are more likely to scale so that they match your exam score - but also because I don't trust my study score calculator with numbers that high ANYWAY lol, so you'd be getting an under-estimation either way.
I'd put these marks at a 38-43.
Reminder that if anybody wants subjects added to my calculator to PLEASE let me know :) Can't add them if I don't know they're wanted! Also, still looking for people to test the study score calculator's accuracy - so if you'd like to help me out, send me a PM. Accepting anyone who still has their VCAA results listing their scores for each GA and their final study score. Will also happily accept anyone after results for this year come out, if you're a current year 12 student and want to keep that in the back of your mind.

Yeah, seems a bit small, huh? Good news for you - I had entered the GA3 total wrong, which was causing the calculator to give a wrong result for HHD. I've now fixed it, and the spreadsheet predicts a 43. Feel free to play around with it again now, if you want to try other combinations of scores
EDIT: potentially, looking at your scores again, I'd also predict your SACs might scale down a little. The scores are close enough to the exam that they might not, but I like to think worst case scenario, y'know? In which case, I'd predict scores of 87, 85, 85, which would give you a study score of 42.
EDIT 2: I've now just made a change in how the calculator predicts things, so instead it predicts a range instead of a single score. It's now pegging you at anywhere between 39 and 45.

I've run your numbers through my study score calculator, then run those study scores through the AN ATAR calculator. Based on my calculations, if you get 80% in EVERYTHING from after unit 3 results (note: for SACs, you can get less than 80% if your average becomes 80%), then as a BEST CASE SCENARIO, you will get above an 80 ATAR. HOWEVER, it also predicts a 77 in the lower range of ATARs that you can get.
So, will you get 80-90 if you can score 80% on everything? Nobody can guarantee it. But, it's not entirely off the table. You just need to make sure to keep working hard and score as high as you possibly can.

Since most of your other subjects don't scale too well except physics, that might pull you down quite a bit, legal and further math in particular is quite competitive at the top end. I wish you all the best for remote learning and this year :)

Hi,for a 45 in methods, it can vary quite a bit depending on the exam difficulty. IMO you should be aiming for 110+/120 but some years you might need something like 114/120 and others it may be slightly below 110/120.

Spesh it is generally loss of 1 mark = loss of 1 study score so 110/120 (maybe a little lower).
Chemistry roughly 105-110/120 depending on exam difficulty.
EDIT: for a 50 you usually don't need to full mark the exam.

I know one average sac won’t do much harm but with these two average SACs my Unit 4 average is now exactly 80% with no SACs left :(
Unit 3 average was okay-ish 87% average.
The average for SACs is usually 70% and my friend was average mid 70s last year which turned into A+ for SACs and she got a 40 but I’m not counting on that scaling due to Covid and I know cohort strength fluctuates from year to year.
Is it still possible with these bad sac scores (assuming they don’t scale) to still yield 45-ish if I get 85% on the exam? I’m so crushed and feel like I should just give up.

Due to online learning technical difficulties I have failed a sac. I was previously on track to get a 45 (well not on track because these scores are never guaranteed but my sac scores where in that direction). I have now had two average sac scores one was my fault (getting flustered in the sac) the second was medicocre (I could not see or answer any questions within the sac as the platform would not load >:()

I haven't told many people this - but I absolutely HATE predicting study scores. Kinda ironic (and maybe hypocritical?) since I made a calculator to do it for me, eh? But I honestly think study score prediction helps no one, because either one of two things typically happen:
1. I tell someone that they will get the score they want - they then become complacent, their marks drop, they no longer get that score, and just feel bad about it. (they may also blame me, but tbh, that's not something I'm too concerned about, I'm more upset that they no longer got the score they wanted or were on track to get)
2. I tell someone that they won't get the score that they want - they then lose motivation to do well, and end up doing EVEN WORSE than they could've. Maybe I tell them they won't get a 40, but could still get a 38 - but because that 40 is out of reach, they instead just lose hope and end up with a 33.
Now - I'm not saying this is going to happen to you, and I don't mean for this to come across as a lecture or for it to make you feel bad or worse than you currently do (and if I've had that effect - I truly am sorry). But, I can already see that you're losing motivation, and I don't want to crush that motivation even more than it already is. Anybody can ignore my post and give you a prediction anyway, but I have to ask before I look at your scores and try to predict them properly myself. Would you rather:
1. Know your score, with the risk of losing all hope and motivation if you can't get 45?
2. Live without knowing what the current prediction is, and so with the motivation that there's still a chance you can get above 45?
This isn't a call out to you personally - I would be asking this question to anyone who's feeling upset and potentially a little disillusioned. I know you've been working hard, I've seen it personally in all the questions you ask and your constant work on the board - I just don't want to ruin all the effort you've put in so far by dooming you to get lower scores in your upcoming assessments.
It's also worth knowing that nobody can know how a certain grade distribution will be - so even if I predict you getting below a 45, that doesn't mean it will happen, because the distribution might lower this year. But by the same token, the distribution may raise this year, and I might falsely predict you getting above 45.

It would help if I knew your scores, but my gut reaction - yes, doing well enough on the exam will get you >25. Using my calculator, even if you get 0 for BOTH unit 3 and 4 SACs, a score of 25 is still in your range if you get 80%, and the predictor guarantees* it if you get an 85%
*Guarantees it only if the grade distribution is exactly the same, so you may need to score higher than that still, but you might also not need to score that high. Basically, just saying that more than 25 is still on the cards, and while I can't tell you how high you need to score, I can tell you it should still be possible

Overall I’d say I’m ranked 12th or 13th out of 16 people (unit 3/4).
If the people above me get within 25-35 study scores, do I still need a very high exam mark for 25 or a 30?

Ranking is important to predicting results, yes - but so are what your SAC scores /actually/ are. Did you get 20%, 30%, 78%? Ironically, being the lowest ranked student for unit 3, and still being pretty low after including unit 4, you likely don't have to worry about your SAC scores changing, because the lowest SAC score is also used to figure out how to scale everyone else in the cohort. Sorry about that :(
I can't really put a figure on it, but again, without your SAC scores, I can't really say anything more than, "80% should likely still put you in the running for a 25+ score".
To use the predictor (and these instructions are also listed in the pink box on the predictor), first you need to click File -> Make a Copy -> OK while logged into a Google account. A new tab will open - if you go into this tab, you'll now be in a different version of the calculator, one you'll be able to make edits to. In the red boxes, you need to enter the subject you want to calculate for using the drop-down box (click the arrow on the right of the box). Then, in the green boxes, enter what your mark is for that assessment. Usually, GA1=unit 3 SACs, GA2=unit 4 SACs, and GA3=exam. This isn't always the case, refer to the study design for your subject just to make sure - simply ctrl+f and type in "Graded assessment" and you'll be taken to the relevant part of the study design.

Hey there I'm Not Smary,
In order to be able to predict your study score, we also need to know your average for both unit 3 and 4 and how "competitive" your cohort is :) I also recommend checking this out https://atar-calculator.deakin.edu.au/vce-study-score-calculator/.

Hey there I'm Not Smary,
In order to be able to predict your study score, we also need to know your average for both unit 3 and 4 and how "competitive" your cohort is :) I also recommend checking this out https://atar-calculator.deakin.edu.au/vce-study-score-calculator/. It's not entirely accurate but it could predict an estimate.
Happy studying :)

Cohort not to strong and not to weak around the middle

I would like to know whether or not i can still acheive 42 for biology. I go to a strong cohort with ~70 students and my unit 3 sac average is 78% and the cohort average is 62%. The top person is around 80%-82% (predicted) for unit 3. The sacs are very hard. For unit 4, i got 85% for the sac. Thank you.
Ps. ~18% of cohort gets 40+

I’m not an expert but if your cohort is as strong as you say they are and 18% of them usually get above 40 and the same is true for this year between 100-110/120 should get you 40-45 so yes a 42. 110/120 is usually a 45 ish but to be safe aim for this in case your SACs don’t scale as well as you hoped. Now it’s all in the exam so forget about the SACs because that’s beyond your control as they are scaled by you and your cohorts exams scores.
Good luck on the exam 😊

Hi could someone help me out with working out what exam score I would need for a 40 and 42 in English Language? I have been told my teacher, that my internal SAC scores should scale to a low A+, based on students in the past.
Thanks!!
Alright, so I've added English Language to my study score calculator, so you are welcome to play around with it. Using it, I predict that an 80% on the exam should net you somewhere around 38-43 - so you likely want to be aiming for 80 or higher to ensure that over 40. To guarantee over 40, you need a 91 - and tbh, at this point, the accuracy of the calculator is likely very low, so I'm unsure if this is an underestimate or overestimate. >80% should be fine, for safety I'd aim around >90%
Unit 3: 61
Unit 4: 64
Cohort not to strong and not to weak around the middle
If you also get a 64 on the exam (and assuming your SACs won't change too much - I'm assuming they won't if your cohort really is right in the middle), I'd guess at around 30-33 (again, checked using my calculator, which you're welcome to experiment with yourself)

I haven't gotten my SAC marks but I think I roughly know where I sit for methods.
Estimated Unit 3 SAC Score: E+ (Scaled to roughly D+ usually)
Estimated Unit 4 SAC Score: D (Scaled to roughly C usually)
What exam mark would I need on Exam 1 and Exam 2 to be able to get a 25 - 28 Study score for Methods? Cohort is very strong especially for Methods.
Post by: The Cat In The Hat on October 08, 2020, 09:54:13 pm
Unit 3 - averaged 85%, ranked #1-3/19
Unit 4 - averaged 80%, ranked #1-3/19
Final rank #1-2/19
Cohort is probably average but with a fairly strong top band (and I think the marker is pretty harsh, but I could be wrong)
Aim for exam - ~80-90%
Am I on track for 40+? What exam score would I need to get that, given SAC marks?
Post by: Sine on October 08, 2020, 11:11:05 pm
What kind of study score am I looking at for English?Based on these scores you are definitely looking at 40+ possibly even into the mid-40s.

rank 2/5 (average cohort) —> If I do better than rank 1, can I still end up with a raw 45+ [if rank 1 drops 10 marks throughout both exams]

I rank 6 from a cohort of 25 in English. My cohort is average but top 8 of the cohort is pretty strong (likely to get 40 and above for English). Can I still get a high study score like 40 or 45 and is exam worth 50%
Post by: Sine on October 14, 2020, 01:20:18 pm
HiIf you think the top 8 are likely to score 40+ and you are rank 6 then it is probable you will also get that 40+. However, you would still need a good exam score equivalent to a 40+ study score. Also yes the exam is worth 50%.

Cohort size: 100-120
Cohort strength: strong- our sacs scale up
Unit 3 average: 88%
Rank: top 10
Unit 4 average: 83%

Hi! I just got back my Unit 4 sacs so I was wondering if you could please do Bio?
Cohort size: 100-120
Cohort strength: strong- our sacs scale up
Unit 3 average: 88%
Rank: top 10
Unit 4 average: 83%
Rank: I don't know but worst case scenario is middle 50%
Exam mark: 115+/120
So I've plugged this into my calculator, and it's pulling a study score of 39-46. This assumes your SACs don't change, so at a worst case, you can probably assume you'll likely get above 40 if you get that exam mark. For slightly more hopeful, I increased your SACs to 95% and 90% - and this ensures your study score will be above 40, but your predicted upper bound doesn't change.
So I'd say >40 is a good prediction, and >45 isn't off the table for you yet if that's where you're aiming.
Post by: Sine on October 14, 2020, 03:36:53 pm
Hi! I just got back my Unit 4 sacs so I was wondering if you could please do Bio?My prediction is a little different from the above. I think you at the very least should be getting a 45+ study score. A score like 115/120 on a bio exam most years is a 50 but depending on how your sacs score may change it a little.
Cohort size: 100-120
Cohort strength: strong- our sacs scale up
Unit 3 average: 88%
Rank: top 10
Unit 4 average: 83%

Biology is a subject where you can lose a bunch of marks and still pull a high 40/50.

what is needed on the exam for a 10-15 raw in chem (ranked in bottom quartile of average cohort)
This is an odd question, only because study scores less than 20 aren't reported. My answer to you is - potentially, less than you honestly think. Maybe you ARE doing as badly as you're scared of, but it's more likely that you're doing kinda okay. For reference, in my calculator, if you get 50% in EVERYTHING (exam and SACs), you're predicted to get a 27. If oyu get 25%, that score becomes 14-21. If that becomes a 15% in everything, it's 9-18. See just how low you have to get to score that low? It's stupidly low. Maybe you are scoring that low, in which case, I'm really sorry - and please, send me a message, maybe we can work something out to bring that chemistry score up (this is an honest to goodness offer, btw). But more likely, you're not doing that badly, and you just need to pick yourself up and dust yourself off - maybe your scores aren't amazing, maybe they're not what you'd like them to be, but you have to be doing DISGUSTINGLY badly to get that low. We're talking getting scores of 10% or lower in an average cohort with exam scores to match.

Oh wow that's really low. Does that mean someone who gets a 9 for instance, they wouldn't know their score - it'll just say >20 and therefore 20 contributing to their aggregate?
Thank you so much for looking out for me and everyone else as always!

Cohort strength is above average? My teacher said the SACs are harder than exams and if it helps our school was in the top 5 biology schools last year or whatever. I know cohort strength varies from year to year but let’s just assume it’s still above average.
Post by: Sine on October 21, 2020, 04:33:56 pm
If on SACs for unit 3 I average 87% and for unit 4 80% if I get 80% or 85% on the exam what would my bio study score be?Hmm those percentages would get you 96-102/120 on the exam so I would think definitely above 40 if your sacs scale-up and probably around the Low-mid 40s range.

What mark /120 would I need for a 45+ in psych assuming low to mid A+ for SACs?
Not an expert but I think 110 is a 45? Depends on how your SACs scale and how everyone in the state does. Sometimes exams are so hard barely anyone gets that 110 so then the grade distribution changes (like A+ Cut off lower) but this year with Covid.....anything is possible!
Although warning: maybe wait for someone legitimate to reply and take this with a grain of salt!

Not sure if your cohort is strong but usually those scores can get you anywhere between 42-50
Post by: Sine on November 05, 2020, 11:41:13 pm
Thoughts anyone?Chemistry: definitely in the area of a 40 but it would depend on the exam difficulty and sac scaling on whether you get low 40s or high 30s. In 2019 it would be very likely to be 40+, in 2018/2017/2016 likely to be a borderline 40 which can go either way.

English: looking really good for a 35+ study score. With those exam scores and if your sacs maintain or scale up I would be thinking high 30s/40
Methods: I think that is very likely to be a 32+ with those exam scores.
Hey, can anyone predict my score for physics?Mid 40's based on 2019. Last year was quite a hard exam so with a easier exam your low end might be closer to low 40s.

Unit 4: 62.3/70 (90%) in top quarter of cohort of 170 ppl
Exam: 45-48/60
What would I need for a 40? Could this be enough? Please and thank you :D
That can get you anywhere between 37-42 (RAW) depending on the strength of your cohort.

Is anyone able to estimate my potential study score for English?
Unit 3: 84%
Unit 4: 84%
I am in an average cohort with a few kids getting above the 90s. I have no idea what rank I am but probably the top end.
I got back my trial exam a week ago and I was so disappointed with it as I got 5,8 and 7 for section A, B and C, respectively. I also haven't studied for English that much so I am overly stressing as the exam is sooo soon lool. I don't even know what to expect now and i am just hoping for at least 7 on each section at this point. If I got 40-42/60 on the exam how much will this affect my study score and my SAC grade moderation? I am just worried i will ruin my study score from a terrible exam mark even though I got decent sac scores.
Thanks.

Look, I realise everyone including myself are worried about their study scores despite exams being near by, but I honestly feel that you may perform better on the exam if you don't know what to get on each section and overall on the exam so I suggest giving it your best shot and you'll hopefully do amazing. However, if you think it will give you a sense of comfort knowing what a "40-42/60" will result in, it varies since every cohort is different in terms of their size and strength, but usually it is a study score of 35-39 RAW.
Another thing to consider is the pandemic this year. It can vary a lot of things, a lot, including the moderation process which means my estimate may not be useful so once again, make sure to not stress! I'm sure it'll be a good feeling when you leave that exam room and never think of English again [unless you do further studies in English/literature LOL]
Seriously though, good luck to everyone and don't stress too much about study scores and give it your best shot - I'm sure VCAA don't want to look like fools by torturing students during a world wide pandemic. All the best!!

Hi, thanks so much for responding. English has been a subject that has surprised me the most this year and i never thought i would get the sac marks i did. There is just this saying that if you 'choke' the exam, your study score is ruined and that just freaks me out and at this point would love to just get English over and done with. Also, i heard the GAT can make a difference if you supposedly do worse on the exam than expected. How significant is this difference? because i felt i went pretty well on the GAT (Writing sections).

English definitely is an unpredictable subject haha!
For a subject like English, if you "choke" the exam, your hard work will not go down the drain that quick since the sacs weigh same amount as the exam (50-50). I wouldn't worry about choking the exam - walk in confident, leave with a smile of relief on your face!
Typically, the GAT does make somewhat of a difference, i.e. the GAT can only drag you up and not bring you down. For instance, if you do amazing on the GAT and on the exam day, something happens and you don't perform to your required standard, then they will use your GAT to boost you (but cannot bring you down).
Tbh I haven't heard of anyone being incremented a significant amount by the GAT.
However, I must say that this year will be different since the education minister on numerous occasion emphasised the importance of the GAT this year so it's a good sign that you feel good about the writing sections!

Unit 3 SACS: 94.1%

If I get a high A+ on the exam what study score should I be looking at? like 110 or so or a tiny bit higher
School MHS [overall hard sacs this year]
Subject Englis
Unit 3 SACS: 77.5%
Unit 4 SACS: 75%
If I get 7/7/7 on exam could I get a 37?
MHS- idk how English sacs scale at mhs

Anyone?I had very similar sac marks last year, and I also think I got the same exam mark after going through last years exam report, which ended up getting me a 46 raw.
However I was rank 4 in my cohort, so I'm not sure how your ranking might affect my estimations, but if your cohort is strong, then a 40 plus is almost guaranteed.

For chemistry, with rank 1 SACs for both units, what approximate score out of 120 would be safe for a 45?I would say on average Maybe 110/120? Could be higher if it's an "easy" exam e.g. 2015. Would be lower if it was a tougher exam like 2018/2019.

Depends on the difficulty. How did it compare difficulty wise to 2017 and 2019 as for just an A+ it was 208/240 in 2017 whereas it was 182/240 in 2019.

For Psych I have a 92% average for Unit 3 SACs and 92% for Unit 4 SACs? What should I get on the exam to get a 40 study score? It was quite difficult and a lot of people have complained about it.
So, using my calculator with those scores, it predicts you'd need at least 75% to have a chance at a 40 - to guarantee it would require you to go up to about 85-90%. However, I feel confident that knowing my calculator and how it's performed on psych in the past, that an 80% should secure you a 40+, if your SACs don't change. If the exam really is that much harder, and the grade distribution lowers as a result, this would likely also make the 75% change from a chance at 40 to a more comfortable 40

Just wondering what sort of study score I should expect for Further.
SACs: 94% average in a very strong cohort (ranked top 8 in cohort)
Exam 1: 39/40
Exam 2: 57/60 or 58/60 (think the latter is more likely)
Also, what about English?
SAC Average: 98% (ranked top 10 in a strong cohort)
Exam: Around 54/60
Post by: The Cat In The Hat on November 13, 2020, 05:24:06 pm
If I got somewhere around the 50/60 mark on the exam (which is probably where I was at), would that be enough for a 40+?
Last year the SACs for English scaled up.

These are the lowest sac scores i got for these subjects and are lower then my averages but lets assume they my avereages i dont wanna get my hopes upJust remember RE nursing (since I've looked up unis and so forth) you can go to smaller unis (e.g. FedUni, just as one I've looked at) and the scores are a lot lower - e.g. FedUni I think it was a median of 49 or something at the Ballarat campus. So you don't need to go to tafes, there are still smaller unis to look at first if you want. :)

What do i need to get on both methods exams to obtain at least a 35ss?
Unit 3: 85%

I would say the methods cohort this year is higher than the average with a lot of kids getting above 90% however, I feel like our sacs were quite easy this year because I am nowhere near a methods freak.
Currently averaging 60% on exam 1s and 40-50% on exam 2s loool. I am not expecting a 35 but just wondering what would be the minimum exam scores to achieve it!

I'm now hoping i can scrounge up any extra marks so I was wondering how everyone marked their exams (and I didn't know where to ask so i figured i'd just post it here).
Say, if I completely read a question wrong and thought a -3 was a +3 and solved the whole 3-mark question using +3, would I get any method marks for this question????
Anyway say I got a 29/40 for exam 1, literally any chance of still getting a raw 40?? Praying to god heaven and anyone thats listening :'( :'( :'( :'(

According to a study score calculator which can be found here here, it's likely that you'll receive an SS of 39-44; however, depending on your cohort's strength it's possible to obtain a 46-47.
Congrats on those amazing score btw🥳

Hey there :)
It's still quite possible to achieve a study score of 45+ with those scores and at least a 90%+ for exam 2.
Best of luck!
Post by: schoolstudent115 on November 18, 2020, 04:55:38 pm
GA1: 94% (class avg. about 60%, maybe high 50’s as the sacs were quite difficult) (at worst top 3, but much more likely top 1/2).
GA2: 100% (class avg. about 64%) (no one else got 100)
GA3 (exam) ~ 97% (126-127/130)
Cohort Strength: Moderate

Hey guys,
Can someone please help predict what I might be able to achieve for Methods as well?
40/40 for Exam 1
76-75/80 for Exam 2
Rank 1 or 2 at private school.
Given that you're rank 1 or 2, your SAC score is likely to be either roughly the same or higher than your exam score - depending on whether anyone else in your school did better than you on the exam. Anyway as you've probably already seen TWM would predict you to get around 48 raw (if you take 1/3 of the predicted SS for exam 1 and add it to 2/3 of the predicted SS for exam 2).
If you use last year's grade distribution for exam 2 you're ~1.9 standard deviations above the mean; equating that to a study score would give you ~43.3 from exam 2. If you weight that against a 50 for exam 1 again you would still be looking at ~45-46. But that does seem like a bit of an underestimate, especially considering there's speculation that this year's exams were harder - but I'm not sure how accurate that is. And of course if your (moderated) SAC score ends up being higher than your exam 2 score, that could bump up your study score again. Anyway hopefully that helps.
Edit: I should note that with this method I'm assuming that exam scores are normally distributed - which could cause some issues. Another possible method is to look at the % of students in the exam who would normally score lower than a given letter grade, but of course that doesn't account for differences within the letter grade. I believe others have a method of doing so, but I don't know the details of it.
Edit 2: In fact all estimates using the SD and mean of the grade distributions, at high scores, will be underestimates due to the fact that scores are restricted by the amount of marks available in each exam.

Hi, can someone pls predict what I can get for methods?
GA 1: 70% (rank ~ 80/170)
GA 2: 60%
GA 3: 70%
go to a select entry school. Thanks in advance!
Probably somewhere around a 33-35; however, given the competitiveness at a selective school and a strong cohort, a 36-39 is possible.
Post by: scientificllama on November 20, 2020, 11:47:16 am
Methods-
SACs - average to weak cohort, probably ranked second or something out of nine, average SACs around 75% (80% first SAC, #3, then 71%, equal #1).
E1 - probably around 50%
E2 - also assume around 50%
Probably around a 30-33 ss
Post by: scientificllama on November 20, 2020, 11:49:59 am
Just a reminder for those wanting to know their predicted study score, please ensure you add in the following:
- SAC score average for units 3 & 4; however, subjects with a combined score such as methods only need the one
- Cohort strength
- Rank (if possible)
This helps make the predictions are bit more precise and easier to calculate.
Thanks!

U3- ranked possibly first or second in a strong top band, SACs averaging around high B's/A's (we only get letter grades, but A is from I think 25-30/30, B from 20-25, or something like that)
U4- ranked somewhere in the top five, SACs averaging around A's/A+'s
Exam- topped (I think) trial exam with 86%; assume real exam ~85%.
EDIT: teacher also said we're an unusually strong cohort at the trial exam; we were an average to strong cohort but he expects us to perform strongly in the exam.
Do I have a chance at a 40?

Hey there again :)
So assuming that your unit 3 SAC percentage is 83% (an A) and your unit 4 is about 88% (A+), according to last year's statistics would get you around a 37-39. However, given this year, it's possible to get a 40 depending on how the state has performed

Post by: schoolstudent115 on November 20, 2020, 01:45:04 pm
Is 45+ achievable? What is a reasonable range of study score for this (Physics)
GA1: 94% (class avg. about 60%, maybe high 50’s as the sacs were quite difficult) (at worst top 3, but much more likely top 1/2).
GA2: 100% (class avg. about 64%) (no one else got 100)
GA3 (exam) ~ 97% (126-127/130)
Cohort Strength: Moderate
I posted this a while back, but realised the figures were off a bit, and this one has more accurate numbers (e.g. percentages instead of Grade letter)
Post by: scientificllama on November 20, 2020, 03:23:49 pm
Hey there :)
According to last years results, it's most likely you would receive somewhere between a 42-45.
However, with how this year has gone, you might be able to reach a 47.
Also, congrats on those amazing scores!🥳

These scores are the lowest possible I think I'd get. They could be a bit higher :)
SACs: 78% - not sure my rank but a moderate cohort.
EX 1 : 25-27/40
EX 2 : 54/80 - I'm thinking this could be a bit higher though, maybe even 58-60.
Thanks! I just need a piece of mind. Even if these scores are slightly lower, can I get 30??

Your exam 1 is kinda right at the median and would normally correlate to a 30 on the dot.
Your exam 2 is better and would give you some leeway for a few marks.

rank 2 in further (strong cohort)

is a 47 possible or am I capped to a 46
can someone help me work out specialist maths??Hmm if this is worst-case scenario I guess it could be possible to get a 40 but with those scores as written, I think it would be quite tough (especially considering a lot of people have been saying the E2 was on the easier side of things).

Actually last year since the exam was hard and the A+ cut off was 75% with good SACs like you have being rank one, as long as you’d get within that A+ range 75-80 that should get you bang on 40. But 80%+ to be safe :)

Hey there :)
With your following SAC scores and an exam estimation around 75-85%, it's likely you'll get somewhere between a 38-41. However, given your ranking, a 38-39 is the most likely score.
For a 37 ss, a high A would very likely get you a 37 and an A+ would hopefully secure a 40.
You can also check out what a strong cohort means here.

unit 4: 96%, overall top 3 in cohort, maybe 1st, decently strong cohort I think.
exam: around 115/120
Really wanna say 50 as in bio 115-117/120 depending on difficulty of the exam is a 50 also you SACs and ranking is good especially in strong cohort. I’ll say 48-50 to be safe but I really think 50 maybe 49 :)

How are we supposed to know if our cohort is strong tho? I think my cohort would be definitely decent considering our sacs always had much harder questions than exam questions or past year sac questions, and there would always be a couple people scoring high marks each sac (me included).

Accounting
I'm in a cohort of 7 and would say I'm on the higher end, don't know official rankings but possibly top 3
Unit 3 GA - 83% (through sem1 got low-mid As and a low A+)
Unit 4 GA - 81% (mid A and a high B+)
Exam - 70 - 75% (worst case scenario)
Thank you!

Hey there!
According to last years grade distribution, you are looking somewhere around a 36-37 for your study score :)

Thank you! So does that mean it could fluctuate depending on the performance of accounting students this year?

Thank you! So does that mean it could fluctuate depending on the performance of accounting students this year?It's a ranking, so yes - if the exam was easy, and you found it hard (assuming marks are reflected by this) you'd get a lower SS than if it was a hard exam and you found it hard, along with the rest of the state.

Right makes sense, the 2019 exam I did for practise I felt really good about and performed well in it in exam conditions, but this years exam that I took it was alright, but definitely thought it was a little more complicated than the 2019 one so hopefully other students agree.
Thank you!!

Feel like I gotta try the SS predictor at least once before ATARs come out. Roughly what should I be expecting for English?
U3 & 4 SACs: 85% average (roughly top quarter out of around 120 students/ extremely strong cohort with roughly a third making 40+ in previous years)
Exam: Expecting around 24-27/30

Welcome to the thread!
According to last year's grade distribution, you're looking at a score around 40-44; however, given your strong cohort, it could go up to a 46 study score.

Hey there!
Welcome to the forums :)
Just a quick reminder that these scores are not entirely accurate due to a multitude of factors & especially because your school's competitiveness/cohort strength wasn't mentioned.

English: SAC's A+, A, A - I have my Oral SAC result still to come, hoping for A or A+. Hope to score A/A+ for remainder of year including Exam - strong cohort
Methods: SAC - C on first, second one hope to get a B, and hope to finish year and exam with B/B+ - strong cohort - there are approx 100 doing MM and I believe I'm probably ranked high middle/average
Revolutions: SAC's for French rev - C and B. Hope to get B for Russian Rev SAC's and estimate B+/A for exam - only 11 doing REV's, I believe I'm ranked probably middle/high average in a fairly strong cohort
Chemistry: SAC's so far: B, A, A, B+ - hope to get B+/A's for rest of SAC's and estimate A for exam - very strong cohort of roughly 100 I reckon I'm probably rank in the middle/high average
French: SAC's so far: B, B+,B+, estimate I will get B/B+ for my Oral SAC and B+ for remainder SAC's, hope to get B+/A for exams - 20 in a strong cohort I probably would rank in the middle
Legal Studies: I did in Year 11 2020 - not a great year with remote learning really affecting me - GA1 was B, GA2 B+ and GA3 B+ = 33SS

Well just as an update I managed to score an A+ on my English oral SAC as well, so rapped about that, and with one more comparative SAC to go, am hoping for maintaining an A result, and the same A at least for the exam.
On the MM front, really disappointed, only got a C+ on this (which probably equates to a 40-50%), was hoping for B (50+ %). Only one more SAC to go and not feeling very confident now of even getting a low to mid 30's, I'd like to think I can improve to a B on the next SAC and get the same B result for my exam. My ranking in MM would be just below average at current with a large cohort and top boys school. What would the likelihood be then for my Raw Score. Obviously I need a min of 25 for most courses, but hopefully I can get a 30. Quite disheartening as I have always been good at Maths and always above average B and upwards.

Since it's closer to the exams would anyone be able to predict again?
Especially if taken into account the difficulty of last years Methods exam.
Thank you!

Maybe around mid 40s. Depends how strong your top 5 of the cohort is and the exam difficulty.
What would happen if top 5 do not do so well in the exam? How much will my study score be affected by?

For Religion and Society, out of 13 kids I am ranked 2-3 in a strong cohort:

Could I please get a prediction.

So 32/40 and am rank 1 with average of 98 with average cohort and average sacs
Would it be possible to even get a 40 with this exam 1 result?
Thanks

P.s. Anyone actually know how SACs scale in a strong school?
Post by: Riley Taylor on November 05, 2021, 12:09:31 am
Methods
Top of the cohort in SACs (97%), average cohort I think
Exam 1 ~33/40
Exam 2 ~74/80
Post by: Riley Taylor on November 05, 2021, 12:11:54 am
What do you think a cutoff for a 47 raw and a 50 raw in Methods would be? I personally thought the two exams were a touch on the easy side, although Exam 1 had an interesting last question.
P.s. Anyone actually know how SACs scale in a strong school?
If SACs are difficult in a strong school but the school gets a great average in the exam/s you can expect the SAC results will reflect how well your school did in the exam.

Sacs: 89% average at strong selective school

Post by: Riley Taylor on November 05, 2021, 09:32:38 am
Hey guys, can someone predict my methods score and whether I can get around 33? Kinda bombed it :(
Sacs: 89% average at strong selective school
Exam 1: 24/40 at worst
Exam 2: 53/80 at worst
Using 2020 for the estimation, I'd say ~34. This doesn't take into account SACs as the % really doesn't matter. Your ranking in the school is what decides how much SACs contribute and as such I can't factor it into a score but I can say if you ranked high in a smart school that will help your score. Also predictions by your teacher may/may not help.

I just had a question, idk what rank I am or anything
But what range for the SS could I kinda be looking at for psychology
SAC 1- 92
SAC 2 - 96
that's all I know, idk how scaling works much either :-\

Hi guysno one can predict study scores based off sac scores alone you would need to have an estimate on how you will go on the exam as well

Would doing a bunch of practise exams help on having an estimate?
I'm so sorry for asking stupid questions
