Based of last years exam an A for exam 1 about an 81% and an A for exam 2 was close to 73% which is what you would need to get a 35. with your scores, you could get between a 35-37.

Thanks  :)

I really just want a 25 for methods, what do you guys reckon if I get like C for SACs and C on the exam?
Title: Re: maths methods study score predictions???
Post by: gnaf on November 09, 2017, 08:39:44 pm
same total as skrrt but 33 fot exam 1 and 70 for exam 2

since exam 1 technically countsore since the scores ppl get are closer, than for exam 2, would i get like 1 or 2 or even more study scores lower than skrrt?

I'm not sure of i'm in the top quartile though- sac avg is high 80s in a strong cohort where sac avg is 70-80 usually (i think)

You're likely to get something in the high 30s. I estimated this without accounting for sacs though - it assumes your sacs will be at an equivalent percentile to the average of your exams. This estimate could be pulled in either direction depending on how your sacs scale. Also just used last years grade distribution so it will be affected by changes to that this year.

A 30 would require approximately 50% on both exams (or for one to compensate for the other). With a 50% on exam 1 you'd have to get over 50% on exam two for it to work out to the correct percentile. So you're in the right area to get a 30, but depending on your exam 2 score and how your sacs scale, it could go either way.

40-43. Maybe a little higher if your sacs scale to a higher percentile than your exams which seems like it could be likely.

Use this website for study score predictions, it gives last year's score spreads and how they generally correlated with study scores:

https://twmpublications.com/statistics

I'd say Exam 1 was a fair bit easier than last year and Exam 2 a little bit harder (not sure how others felt), so take it with a grain of salt.

Yep you should get something a little over 25 with that (assuming sacs scale to an equivalent percentile to your exams).

SACs ~ 80%
Exam 1 ~ 29-30/40

39-42 dependent on how your sacs scale.

Assuming you're referring to nirgun.kaur? If so, possibly. For exam marks like that it will depend on the grade distribution and how your sacs scale.

39-42 based on your exams, possibly a little higher if your're expecting your sacs to scale higher than that (they'd need to scale to at least around 90% to not drag that prediction down).

Hi, New to VCE
what it means by ‘how your sacs scale’

Curious to know
A 90% at one school isn't the same as A 90% at another schools because different schools do different sacs. To make sac marks fair between schools, vcaa disregards the percentage you get on your sacs and instead uses your rank within your cohort and your cohorts exam performance to scale your sac.

Eg. If one cohort of 4 people gets exam scores of 90%, 80%, 70%, and 60% and another cohort of 4 people gets exam scores of 70%, 50%, 30%, and 10% then a person who is rank 2 in the first cohort will have their sacs scale to around 80% whereas a person who is rank 2 in the second cohort will have their sacs scale to around 50% - and this will be true regardless of whether they have the same % mark on their sacs. (The difference isn't usually that drastic though because cohorts are larger than 4 people). There's more on how it works here under the heading "sac moderation"

SACS: 97 (above avg cohort)

Exam 1: 38-39/40
Exam 2: 73-76/80
44-47

Yep, you should definitely be fine with that, regardless of how your sacs get moderated. Just based off the exams and last years grade distribution, you could get around a 35 (although your sacs could alter that).

To give some context, last year I got 37/40 in exam 1 and 78/80 in exam 2 and still got a 49. So I think you can afford to drop a fair few marks across both exams and still get a score in the high 40s.

Can someone help me predict a study score for this year please?

SAC: 80% U3, 86% U4
Both SAC scores were in the upper range of the upper quartile. So I'm probably in the top 5 of a medium cohort.

Exam Scores Prediction:
E1: 35/40
E2: 65/80

I go to a private school but the cohort is not the strongest. For methods there are 39 people in my cohort sitting methods. I just need to know if I can get above 40 with this and hopefully if 45 is still in reach. Thank you so much! :)

Your exams score suggest around a 40 study score given the exam is of decent difficult and not too easy.
