SS ESTIMATOR/GA ESTIMATOR


GA SCORE ESTIMATOR - 31/10/2008
I cant sleep, so I made this.

this spreadsheet approximates [VERY ROUGHLY] what you need to achieve in a GA to get a desired SS. I should've made it earlier in the year, but hell, it's here now. you can now set realistic exam goals during last minute revision :P

so here's the steps:

1) http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2009/statssect3.html - find your subject*
2) get to the page of the GA you want [exams are typically the last GA(s)]
3) put in the relevant info into the spreadsheet
4) look at the score it spits out, now study hard [if you want to know what grade that is, double it and refer back to the grade assessment table]
5) ???
6) PROFIT!!!


EDIT: I've added SS estimation from grades because I'm bored. (31/10/2008)

1) http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2009/statssect3.html - find your subject*
2) get to the page of the GA you want [exams are typically the last GA(s)]
3) put in the relevant info into the spreadsheet (this time, info on all three GAs)
4) put in the relative weighting of each GA. If you do not know how your subject's assessments are weighted, consult the study guide [can be found from http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/index.html] or ask someone.
5) look at the score it spits out, now study hard
6) ???
7) PROFIT!!!

enjoy =]


DISCLAIMER: this thing is not entirely accurate. Please don't assume it is... :P

* Note, for mid-year subjects use the current year grade distribution (found in the current-year statistics page)

[PS, I love you enwiabe, I've slapped a vcenotes.com link on it, haha]

[PPS: this thing has no error handling capabilities whatsoever, so if you put in a stupid number, it will give you a stupid result. simple garbage in, garbage out.]

[PPPS: someone sticky this :P this will solve all the "I GOT A+ A+ A, WHAT SS IS THAT???" questions (i hope), but it will also probably put the fellow SS-ESTIMATORs out of jobs...]

[PPPPS: I've had a few complaints over compatibility, so here's both office 2007 .xlsx and 2003.xls versions, and protection has been relaxed a bit]
