    • In Can i get an 85+ atar?

      dino I personally think study score calculators are kind of pointless + they can mislead you to a false conclusion if your expectation doesn't match up. You're a lot better off actually focusing on doing well in the exam and then worrying about what you do after your study score is sent to you. Before then (before scores are sent) relax, you're done with exams, school shouldn't be on your mind anymore.

      Also, 10minutequiz states that:

      • This tool is designed to help students understand how SAC scores, exam scores and study scores are related in most cases.
      • It will not be accurate in all cases. The largest sources of uncertainty in the estimation model are
        SAC moderation, especially for schools with small student populations, and
        mark boundaries for study scores above 45 are highly dependent on the actual VCAA exam questions, which change from year to year.

      VCAA disclaimer
      The VCAA does not support or endorse the development and use of study score calculators as they can lead to erroneous conclusions and frustration for individual students. The assessment results for one year should not be used in any way to predict results for students in subsequent years. Each year’s assessment results, both for school-based and external (Examinations), will vary due to different assessments being used and different populations of students participating in the assessment.

        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

          The Deakin one is really unreliable because it goes off an assumption that all the SACs from each school have the same level of difficulty. For example, if someone were to have an avg SAC score of 60% in Methods and then gets 100% on both exams, it'll say that the maximum they can get is RAW ss of 43, when likely, if you full mark both exams that is easily a RAW 50.

            • In How do SACS scale?

              I just did Psych this year and had my exam yesterday. Your SACs will scale according to your cohort (your school year level) but, there is technically a way around it where you, yourself can pull all A+'s for your GA's and that's purely from top exam performance if you believe that you'll do well but not well enough for 40+ then relying on your cohort to scale might work but if you individually can top the entire state then it doesn't really matter on if your SACs scale or not.

              Example from 2022: the A+ mark was 95/120 marks on the exam. Now if you had scored 110/120, it is very likely you could achieve a 47-48. But idk VCAA is weird and they scale SACs very strangely. But most importantly rely on your own performance

              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
