How many marks could be dropped to get a 40?

[Roryr99]

And how many do you expect can be dropped for a 50??

Hey, guys! I'll answer your questions, but just know that this thread is about exam discussion - specifically, questions on the exam, how you felt about it, all that good stuff. If you want study score estimates or something along those lines, try posting in this thread.
Also remember that worrying about scores won't do much for you anymore - it's all over, and you've finished the course. What happens now is out of your control, so the best thing to do is relax and try not to worry.

How many marks could be dropped to get a 40?

About 10 marks total in SACs, and probably a little more than that in the final exam. Predicting how many marks can be lost to achieve a 40 is pretty variable from year-to-year, so that's only a rough estimate.

And how many do you expect can be dropped for a 50??

One or two in SACs, and up to about 2 in the exam. A friend who got 50 last year dropped one in her SACs and full-marked the exam.

I’m rank 2/3 in a very very strong cohort of 6 with everyone averaging above 90%. My sacs are ranked at 97. If I got roughly 100/120 what study score am I looking at? Thanks

Is there any multi choice answers?

With copyright, are we allowed to discuss questions though?

Absolutely - discussion is allowed, it's just the distribution of the physical property of VCAA, or exactly worded questions, that's an issue. You can paraphrase and talk about anything you want.

How would you link in stages of learning to 8 weeks resistance training  on the last question?
Get that Renee cognitive and Scott higher end of associative on continuum.

I personally linked it to the fact that Scott had been training like that for 2 years prior, and Renee was only just introduced. This means that Renee would be in the 'cognitive' stage whilst Scott was in either 'associative' or 'autonomous'. If you saw the graph displaying the improvements after an eight-week program, Scott had minimal improvements (I think the max was 3.5%?) and Renee had huge improvements (max of 60%). This supports the theory that Renee was in the cognitive stage because that involves a period of rapid improvement, and as Scott's improvements were less/minimal, he was at the higher end of the spectrum.

is anyone gonna post answers?

Maybe we have to ask questions first?

Aerial skier - what fitness components most important. Is it muscular power? Once skier leaves ramp they become a projectile therefor only forces acting on them are gravity and air resistance. So force to change momentum (perform aerial rotations) must come from athlete providing force in way of muscular power.
