Study Score 40+ for Legal ??????

[selim31]

Hey people, I was wondering if I could get a SS of 40 with my current marks. I did pretty well in Legal this year, and it's obviously reflected in my results....

Unit 3 : 91/100         -   A+
Unit 4: 89/100          -   A

We also did a practice exam in which I got 64/70 Marks, which is also an A+

Assuming I manage to score 65/70 in the Exam, is there a chance I will get above 40?

Cohort strength? Rank?

65/70 should get you mid 40s.

[selim31]

3/~35?

I topped the whole cohort in the prac exam by a very decent margin as well. The cohort wasn't that strong in SACs.

i thought 85 and over was A+?

Depends on the cohort.

Seriously, if you look at the most extreme examples, you can imagine most students from MHS/MacRob to absolutely ace SACs if they go to a very average school.

So if I get say, 80/100 @ MHS, that could be equivalent to 90/100 at a different school (obviously depends)

I mean if lets just say everyone in a cohort is getting 90+/100, and the average exam score is like 40/70, then the SACs obviously were not that difficult. Whereas if everyone is getting around 80/100, and then the average score is 55/70 in the exam, then things are a little different.

If you could use a students from last year as an example, two friends of mine achieved the following

Person A:
Unit 3 - A
Unit 4 - A
Exam - A+
= 38

Person B:
Unit 3 - A+
Unit 4 - A+
Exam: A
= 40

I can't specifically give their percentages, as small things like that do come into account. E.G Whether you got a high A or a low A.

just to but in...i have 94/100 for both units 3 &4. ranked 1.

what kind of score can i expect? can i still achieve a high SS? how many marks could I lose of the exam?

I've gotten 168/200 for the whole year.

Unit 3: 91/100
Unit 4: 77/100

If I got an A+ in the exam what study score am I looking at ?

What school? How strong  is your cohort? I think I got a little higher than that [still nowhere near the top in terms of ranking], got an A on the exam and got a 39 last year. With an A+ and a medium-strong cohort you are looking at 40+?

[heyyoyoyo]

thanks!!

If you have a weak cohort, and you get an a or A+ on the exam, will your study score be affected; because of the weak cohort - even if you got an A+ for both semesters.

what is a weak and strong cohort?

[selim31]

what is a weak and strong cohort?

A cohort is the people studying a particular subject at your school. That is for SACs. The in the Exam the cohort are all the people doing a particular subject in the whole state as exams are external.

So in essence, if your classmates F around in Legal Studies and get bad marks, you will also be disadvantaged. The strength of your cohort can be measured by what marks they get.

what is a weak and strong cohort?

a cohort describes the students at a school doing a particular subject
a strong cohort is like a cohort at melbourne high school, for like maths methods;
where the students will perform very well on the exam
