A 50 in Further Mathematics

Somewhere between 75 and 100 (out of ~27,500) people get a 50 in Further.
Also note that after scaling a 30 in Specialist (top 50%) is better than a 40 in Further (top 9%).
And while taking Further over Specialist may not limit your course choice that much, it limits your unit choice in most BSc & BE courses.

What are BSc & BE courses?

[kazoospasm]

BSc - Bachelor of Science.
BE - Bachelor of Engineering.

Im choosing Further over Specialist. The amount of time and effort spent on Specialist is just not worth it, especially for someone who gets easily fustrated like me.

I got a 50 for further last year, and I was maybe ranked 6th or 7th in my year level. Teacher marked me down for not showing any working, and the likes. Though I did get a 40/40 for exam one and 59/60 for exam two.. So the main thing is your exam, not your sacs..

Well the exams are over. These were the results I've gotten:

SACS Rank 1 - 99%
Exam 1 - 39/40
Exam 2 - 59/60

What are peoples thoughts? Do I have a chance at the magic 50?
Any responses would be much appreciated.

I would think either a 50 or 49, depending on how the rest of the state went, but i would be feeling very confident if i were you...

As for me i got 40 and 54 on the exams, decent sacs, reckon i would get a 40SS or where abouts??
Responses also much appreciated

Thanks. I would be a lot more confident if i had gotten 100% on that first exam though.

I reckon with those results anything between 40-45 SS.

I just think its so unfair with the whole module thing. Some modules are of much more difficulty than others, yet they are all weighted equally. It blows big time!

hi.
im sitting on 100% for sacs.
i got 39/40 in exam 1 (2009)
and 58/60 in exam 2 (2009)

what study score will that get?

[dachamp]

I would say at least a 48.

Hopefully we are in the running for 50, as previous posters have lost 2 or 3 marks in exams and managed to get a perfect score. If you need perfect papers to get a 50, then that just stinks!

I know this topic is about a 50, but was wondering if others agreed with me that i should get a raw ss of around 40. Exam 1: 36/40 (3 stupid mistakes), Exam 2 : around 55-57/60 (all of them were silly mistakes >.<).

SAC results were probably at an B+/A level (though i would believe that my school sets harder SACs than most...). Putting my ranking in the top 20 or so..

Furthermore, how many more marks could i lose on exam two for it to still be approximately 40 raw? Going by last years standard, a 36/40 was an A+ and a 49/60 was an A+ for exam 2. However, it seems likely that the A+ cutoff will be higher for exam two this year..

Also, i agree with dachamp for around a 48 raw ss for wrx69er..

bellsy i'd say you could pull off a 40. its your sac ranking that brings you down, if you were ranked 1-5 then i'd say 43 but yeah...good luck anyway i hope you get the score that u want

Thanks, was thinking along those lines. I'll just have to wait until Dec 14th to find out though.
