Hey guys!

here are my results for accounting (in year 11) im wondering how much SACs actually mattered? and also what percentage i am likely to have got on the exam? I feel like people with an A on the final exam got higher study scores than me, and I had an A+, but my GA1 SAC avg was B+ which may have dragged my SS down??? I also found it quite weird, since the grade distributions show that an A+ on the exam will get you a minimum of around 40-41 raw.

please share your thoughts!!!

thanks

SACs are worth 50% of your study score, so quite a bit.

An A+ on the exam does not gurantee a 40+ but it suggests if the exam was worth 100% you are in the 40+ range. Your sac scores wouldve dragged your score down a bit. Ive seen some students get A+ for all the GAs so it really depends on the distribution and what percent of people get A+s.

Also, that study score bit isn't actually part of the grade distributions. Grade distributions only say what mark -> what letter grade.

The median selection rank (ATAR + bonus points/seas) at monash clayton last year was 87 so you'll be fine

Hey guys!

Im in year 11 and I was just wondering if anyone else got A+ A+ A+ for methods and only got 40 raw.

I’ve been averaging 9/10 in SACS this whole year and know I might have bombed the exam a bit but still managed to get an A+...

I’ve already ordered the statements and I do want to see how well I did in the exam...but still I’m pretty dissapointed haha...

Any advice?

Kinda disappointed with my methods scores this year...  :'( was hoping for higher. Anyway, here's my stuff.
Prediction:
Chemistry: 40-43
Methods: 43-46
Reality:
Chemistry: A+ A+ A+ 45 (WOOAAAHHHH  :o)
Methods:   A+  A   A+ 43
Anyone know if my dream of getting that Chancellor's scholarship is possible? According to AtarNotes calc, I need at least 48 in English, which is nigh impossible for me to achieve.

Can’t really tell without knowing your other subjects and how you generally perform in them but either way, it’s most likely possible, given some good ol’ elbow grease.

For now, celebrate. Those scores are amazing!

Hey guys!

If they’re low A+s then it is possible that a straight 40 SS can occur. The grade distributions change a little yearly and remember that SACs can get moderated too.

Regardless, a 40 in Methods is a great achievement so please remember to celebrate that even if you’re disappointed.

Hey guys I got a 90.90 do u think I could get into arts at melb? The minimum is 85 but scared they’ll change the minumum tank
Adding on to PF’s answer, the minimum rank for Arts at UoM is unlikely to change that drastically so you’re pretty much good to go. :)

As above poster said, the range of an A+ is still pretty large which can affect your study score. For example, I got A+, A, A+ and got a 43. This means that my Exam 2 (and maybe sacs) were a high A+ and thus made up for my A in exam 1 (also note exam 1 is weighted less).

My predictions were:
English: 35
Psych: 38
Legal: 33
Viscom: 34
Further: 32
And I thought I would get an ATAR of around 75.

I actually got:
English: 41
Psych: 41
Legal: 38
Viscom: 37
Further: 38
And an ATAR of 90.55!!

I'm very happy with my result considering I only needed an ATAR of 70 for my course!

How do we figure out whether or not our actual ATAR is higher or lower than the predicted ATAR? Is it possible to call the school and ask them, or are they not allowed to tell us?

What do you mean?
ATAR's are determined by your total aggregate (top 4 (inclu an English) + 10% of last two subject) from highest to lowest scaling

For some courses (e.g. Medicine), some unis require a predicted ATAR which is decided by the school.
