what is needed on the exam for a 10-15 raw in chem (ranked in bottom quartile of average cohort)
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.
