Study Score Prediction Question Thread

[YehNahBro]

Hi could someone give me an insight on sac scaling for MHS chemistry, spesh and english? Will they both boost up? I feel like the sacs here are crazy sometimes haha. Anyways, thanks heaps and sorry if this is not the right forum... please lemme know and i'll move my post! Best of luck!

Hey everyone

I haven't gotten my SAC marks but I think I roughly know where I sit for methods.
Estimated Unit 3 SAC Score: E+ (Scaled to roughly D+ usually)
Estimated Unit 4 SAC Score: D (Scaled to roughly C usually)

What exam mark would I need on Exam 1 and Exam 2 to be able to get a 25 - 28 Study score for Methods? Cohort is very strong especially for Methods.

What kind of study score am I looking at for English?
Unit 3 - averaged 85%, ranked #1-3/19
Unit 4 - averaged 80%, ranked #1-3/19
Final rank #1-2/19
Cohort is probably average but with a fairly strong top band (and I think the marker is pretty harsh, but I could be wrong)
Aim for exam - ~80-90%

Am I on track for 40+? What exam score would I need to get that, given SAC marks?

Based on these scores you are definitely looking at 40+ possibly even into the mid-40s.

hey! can someone please predict my study score for Biology? i was aiming for a 40+ but is that still possible?

U3 average: 84%
U4 average: 86%

also, there's an even spread from top to bottom in our cohort!

thanks in advance!

yeah I would think it is still possible but your exam score will be the biggest factor on determining whether you get 40+

thank you so much!! also, what exam score should i aim for to get a 40+?

95+ if you know your SACs will scale to A+, 100+ to be safe

spec maths:

rank 2/5 (average cohort) —> If I do better than rank 1, can I still end up with a raw 45+ [if rank 1 drops 10 marks throughout both exams]

rank 3/5 (average cohort) —> How many marks can I drop in both exams for a 45+ [same scenario]

Hi

I rank 6 from a cohort of 25 in English. My cohort is average but top 8 of the cohort is pretty strong (likely to get 40 and above for English). Can I still get a high study score like 40 or 45 and is exam worth 50%

If you think the top 8 are likely to score 40+ and you are rank 6 then it is probable you will also get that 40+. However, you would still need a good exam score equivalent to a 40+ study score. Also yes the exam is worth 50%.

Hi! I just got back my Unit 4 sacs so I was wondering if you could please do Bio?
Cohort size: 100-120
Cohort strength: strong- our sacs scale up
Unit 3 average: 88%
Rank: top 10

Unit 4 average: 83%
Rank: I don't know but worst case scenario is middle 50%

Exam mark: 115+/120

Exam mark: 115+/120

So I've plugged this into my calculator, and it's pulling a study score of 39-46. This assumes your SACs don't change, so at a worst case, you can probably assume you'll likely get above 40 if you get that exam mark. For slightly more hopeful, I increased your SACs to 95% and 90% - and this ensures your study score will be above 40, but your predicted upper bound doesn't change.

So I'd say >40 is a good prediction, and >45 isn't off the table for you yet if that's where you're aiming.

My prediction is a little different from the above. I think you at the very least should be getting a 45+ study score. A score like 115/120 on a bio exam most years is a 50 but depending on how your sacs score may change it a little.
Biology is a subject where you can lose a bunch of marks and still pull a high 40/50.
