Maths Methods please help me predict my study score!
« on: November 05, 2021, 08:33:14 pm »
Hi guys, I am very anxious about what I would get on my exam, could someone please give me a rough idea of what I should expect?

My 2 SACs (the probability one got cancelled due to covid) are around top 15 of a 120+ very strong cohort.

Exam 1: Best case scenario, i get 38/40, worst case, I get 36/40
however, I did give 4/10 as one of the answers, where it could have been simplified to 2/5
I also did not give the proper definition of a function, only its equation.
I don't know if this takes off extra marks but I would be really upset cause this is just really dumb errors

Exam 2: Best case scenario, i get 76/80, worst case 75/80
I have compared my answers to already worked solutions on yt, and I'm sure I've only lost 4 marks. However I might just lose 1 more just in case i get something wrong.

So what would the range of my scores be like?
I was really hoping for 45 RAW or more on methods this year, but I lost 4 marks due to very silly errors, the others were harder questions that I did not think through properly. as for the additional marks that might be lost on exam 1, well I really hope it doesn't but that would really impact my study score.

Basically
Exam 1: 36-38/40
Exam 2: 75-76/80
Sacs: Top 15 of a very strong cohort

What should I expect?

idk how many kids usually get above 40 in ur school or ur sac results, but given ur exam results I think above 40 is guarnteed! (somebody correct me if i'm wrong)

I think given my interpretation of this year's exam, best case is probably a 46-47, worst case is probably a 42 :)

If you wrote 4/10 that is -1 mark and the other mistake is potentially worth a mark too

Thanks guys for the predictions,
I was really hoping for a 45 or 45+ raw score for methods cause I'm doing it in year 11 right now,
But I guess I have to be happy and proud of whatever I manage to achieve, especially given that its been such a bad year with nearly half of it in lockdown.
Hopefully I'll have better luck in my other subjects next year!

Ok dude you are being WAY too harsh on urself. 45 RAW?? That is literally top 1% of all students, and scales up. Seriously practically NOBODY actually needs such a high score, the atar is only to get u into uni. As long as u get the preresiquite scores, there will always be a course that u could find. I get wanting like a really high ATAR and SS but a 40 is an incredible achievment for methods and would give u the atar u need (it shows ur commitment and skill which u will use next year).

Why would a 45 raw be needed just cause ur in year 11? Like if anything, getting a lower score should be accpeted and allowed...you have taken the initiative and tried ur hardest! Based on ur scores you will get a high SS for methods, top 8% in the state! Just please, don't take it so hard, be proud of ur great score and also don't forget to have fun ;)

Also better luck? Dude I am low key envious of ur scores...

If it makes you feel better, there were students who got raw 50 for methods last year who lost like 2-3 marks during their exam. So given this additional information and looking at your exam score, I reckon you've got a 75-90 percent chance of getting a 45 raw, given that those above you in your sac ranking did relatively well.

I know of a friend who lost 6 marks in total last year and got a RAW 50, but I think Last year was much harder than this year's exam, so I don't really know the odds of me getting a 45+

okay if anyone has a good idea what i might get it would be very helpful.
I'd say i ranked around top 20 in a very strong cohort of around 105 (school usually averages 37-ish out of 50 in methods ss)
Exam 1: 30/40
Exam 2: 70/40

Thank you!
