Marks Required For Certain Study Score ESTIMATE

[kido_1]

Phew, after all that sweating and nerves throughout the paper, Exam 2 is over and so is Exam 1.

So what do you reckon you need to get to get a:
a)50
b)47-49
c)45
d)40
E)35
f)30

NB: I used higher SS, because FSN'ers represent a pretty skewed population(=comparitively really smart)

Btw, everyone in my school and that I know found Exam 2 long and pretty challenging.

[Eriny]

I'd be interested to see what kind of scores are required for a 37-38.

[Daniel15]

I'd like to know this as well... I'm wondering whether I can still get a 40...
 

[kido_1]

You might find my estimates a bit silly/out of touch, but here goes:

50- 115+ across the 2 papers

45- 100+ across the 2 papers

40-90+ across the two papers

30- 50+ across the 2 papers.

[dashkenny]

i'm looking at 20-25 EXAM 1 and 20-30 EXAM 2 :|

OMGH thats awesome, makes me feel so much better. I thought i was going to 37-40 but 45 WOW, that'd be amazing

[maxleng]

lol thats unrealistic... be reasonable

this is the last time im gona come into the methods section here and last time i post here. (till after exams)

whats done is done

just concentrate on your other exams and then just wait till you get your enter/study scores

the more you look at the answers the shitter your going to feel (well the majority of us anyway)

[JL_91]

yeah i've stopped looking at answers coz i know i screwed up heaps, i don't need to feel even worse.

kido_1, i sure hope you're close to the truth..most people found it quite hard, so you never know what will happen.

[kingmar]

As a guide, based on the really difficult 2004 cohort (proportionally)

40: 17 marks loss across two papers
45: Drop 6 marks across two papers
50: Expect perfect or one of two off. The state is inhabited by freaks you know.

EDIT: These are very ROUGH estimations only.

It's not easy to guess as I've only just realised the normalising process is not uniform.

[JL_91]

would you expect it to be much different for CAS?

[kingmar]

Yes. I cannot guess CAS. The cohort is too small to make even a rough estimation.

Lift those predictions up a couple of points.

With only 700 in the group, you know only 40 get 40+. (Based on Chinese)

So, in that case, I assume the cut-offs are higher. But read the stats report and make your own predictions - I can't download off the VCAA website for some reason.

[kido_1]

Oh well, let us just wish for the best.
There is only so much people can do.

[kido_1]

Actually I calculated from Exam 2 in 2004.

You can get 100/110= 145/160
and get a 45

[kingmar]

You forgot that the scores are doubled.

Halve that. 145/160 halved is a 7 mark difference.

Go figure.
