Raw 50 Psychology

Central Ghee

I was wondering what would be the Raw 47-50 exam mark. I checked VCAA's 2022 Graded Distribution and a Low A+ started at 190/240 = 95/120. A 95/120 would likely be a Raw 38 and then I would assume 102 is approximately the Raw 40 parameters.

Interested to know from people who have scored highly

i did psych last year and got 99/120 on the exam which got me a raw 43 🙂

mz10 To get a raw 43 with 99/120 on the exam you would have to get like an average 90 (scaled) on your SACS right? Congrats on the score btw!!

Just sat my Psych exam yesterday, feeling pretty confident for a 42+ Insha'Allah but we'll see how it goes

Same.

How was the MCQs?

Angela MCQs were light, there was that one question where it asked about dopamine and Glutamate, and they're both excitatory neurotransmitters but the only answer I thought made the most sense to me was D but that was probably the only one that tripped me

isn't dopamine a neuromodulator?

Yes, dopamine is a neuromodulator that is responsible for signalling that there is a reward available. Neuromodulators are also a sub-type of neurotransmitters.

Psych is definitely one of those subjects you can lose a bunch of marks and still get a high 40 or 50.
I am not sure exactly but if 99/120 is a 43 I would guess 107-110/120 would likely be a 50 or at least high 40s.
