How likely is a SS of 45?

[Aye Bay Bay]

Okay so I just asked my legal studies teacher about my last SAC in Unit 3.
She told me i got 28/30 which kinda surprised me as I was expecting to get 20-25(I wasn't confident with my responses). I then asked her what my overall Unit 3 SAC mark was and she told me it was 93/100. This kind of surprised me because I missed alot of classes due to illness. With the first SAC for Unit 4 two weeks away one question I'm left wondering, what is the chance of me getting a study score of 45? I'm currently ranked 1st in SACs(the next highest is around low 80s I think) and my class has around 17-18 people. I know its way too early too ask and other factors play a role. But yeah.

As long as you're ranked first, the actual score of your SAC doesn't matter. If you keep your ranking, and get a high A+ on the exam, I reckon you'll get 45.

Those are just my thoughts. I'm no study score predicting expert.

The question is not how u compare 2 ur class, but how u compare 2 the state.
In accounting, I never got anything under 95% and the next closest mark was usually 60 or 70 something %.
In legal studies, I had a bit more competition. Always got 90 something %, but there was always some1 else who also got 90 something % and other ppl who got in the 80s.
In the end I got the same raw score for both subjects (tho accounting scaled better).
As long as u're ranked #1, the classroom competition doesn't mean much.

There's little point in asking strangers how they think u'll do.
U need to ask urself: Will I get in2 the top 2% of the state?

Congrats on the pleasing results, btw.
Personally, try 2 b sick less often (lol) and I think u have a good chance @ that 45

Wow, those are excellent SAC scores for the completion of unit 3! I think if you can keep up the excellent scores, and absolutely ace the exam, there is no reason why you can't get over 45 (I have even heard of people who achieved 50's with near perfect, but not entirely perfect SAC scores!).

but do u have 2 bee ranked number 1?> if your ranked number 3 can u still come out with a ss of over 45? even if ur sac marks arent WOW amazin but compared to e.o else they are
there is alot of competition in my legal class..

Consider the following information. >10 people from MHS got 50 in BusMan last year. They could not all be ranked no.1...

My teacher told me i got an average of 99 for term 3 sacs but he told me i was ranked in the top 3. Didn't tell me which 1 though. Class of 13 btw. Could i get a 45 with an high A to A+ exam score?

[xox.happy1.xox]

I believe to get a 45+, you need all high A+'s, but the way you are going, I don't see how you can't achieve your goals of a 45+ study score. Good luck with it all!

[costargh]

No way you can get a 45 with High A on the exam. The highest I've seen is on the VCAA example where someone got A+ A+ A = 43.

[Fyrefly]

U definitely need an A+ on the exam 2 b in the running 4 a 45.

[legaltutor]

Agreed. For a SS of 45+ you must get a high A+ on the exam. Based on previous years, A+ constitutes approx 107/120, as the exam is worth 60 and is double marked. I would say about 112-115/120 would equate to 45.
Apparantly, irrespective of your exam mark, if the no 1 ranking does poorly, they effectivly get your exam score (if it was better than theirs). This is contraversial, but essentially implies that no rank is reasonably safe, providing their constituents are competent.

WHAT!
HOW IS THAT FAIR?

[Fyrefly]

I'm quite sure that's not how it works... -.-

Where'd u hear that from?

[enwiabe]

No, what legaltutor meant but didn't articulate quite clearly is that the top ranked person gets the top exam score as their overall SAC rank.
