This is an odd question, only because study scores less than 20 aren't reported. My answer to you is - potentially, less than you honestly think. Maybe you ARE doing as badly as you're scared of, but it's more likely that you're doing kinda okay. For reference, in my calculator, if you get 50% in EVERYTHING (exam and SACs), you're predicted to get a 27. If oyu get 25%, that score becomes 14-21. If that becomes a 15% in everything, it's 9-18. See just how low you have to get to score that low? It's stupidly low. Maybe you are scoring that low, in which case, I'm really sorry - and please, send me a message, maybe we can work something out to bring that chemistry score up (this is an honest to goodness offer, btw). But more likely, you're not doing that badly, and you just need to pick yourself up and dust yourself off - maybe your scores aren't amazing, maybe they're not what you'd like them to be, but you have to be doing DISGUSTINGLY badly to get that low. We're talking getting scores of 10% or lower in an average cohort with exam scores to match.

Oh wow that's really low. Does that mean someone who gets a 9 for instance, they wouldn't know their score - it'll just say >20 and therefore 20 contributing to their aggregate?

Thank you so much for looking out for me and everyone else as always!
I will PM you my situation, it's a complicated one.


Thank you once again!

really could be anything between 40 and 50 with that exam range.

Something around the mid-40s I would think.

If on SACs for unit 3 I average 87% and for unit 4 80% if I get 80% or 85% on the exam what would my bio study score be?

Cohort strength is above average? My teacher said the SACs are harder than exams and if it helps our school was in the top 5 biology schools last year or whatever. I know cohort strength varies from year to year but let’s just assume it’s still above average.

Hmm those percentages would get you 96-102/120 on the exam so I would think definitely above 40 if your sacs scale-up and probably around the Low-mid 40s range.

Not an expert but I think 110 is a 45? Depends on how your SACs scale and how everyone in the state does. Sometimes exams are so hard barely anyone gets that 110 so then the grade distribution changes (like A+ Cut  off lower) but this year with Covid.....anything is possible!

Although warning: maybe wait for someone legitimate to reply and take this with a grain of salt!

Just out of curiosity!!

Chemistry:
UNIT 3: 84 (idk my rank, but somewhere in the top end
UNIT 4: 96 (possibly rank 1-2)
Medium strength cohort, strong top end.
Exam: 100-105/120 - is it possible for me to get a 40?

English:
UNIT 3: 80
UNIT 4: 85
Exam: 46-48/60
Idk my rank though, I'm thinking in the top 10-15 out of a medium/weak overall cohort, strong-ish top end
Any chance of reaching a 38-40?

Chemistry: most years that is definitely over a 40 - towards the low-mid 40s range. Last year had a low A+ cutoff so could've been higher then.

English: That exam score is definitely consistent with a very high 30 to a low 40 study score. Depending on how your sacs scale that could change a bit.

Can someone please predict for Texts and Traditions?
Each SAC been ranked in the top 5 in the class (relatively strong cohort, 19 students).
U3 avg- B+/A-, somewhere there
U4 avg- A-/A
Exam - Got 77.5/90 for trial exam (close to top in the class I think) so assume 75/90 for real exam.
Any ideas/range please? (I don't have a numerical mark for any of my SACs.)
Thanks!

Chemistry

Unit 3: 72/100
Unit 4: 78/100
Exam: 95/120
What exactly on the exam will get me a 40 study score?

My SACs May scale up a girl last year got between 75-85 for U3 and got an A+ but since my SACs are much lower maybe an A is more reasonable.
