:O I never thought of it like that xD.
I end my argument here, as i feel like discussing this idea further makes me dumber, f(x) \propto \frac{1}{T}, f(x) my intelligence function and T the time I spend reading your claims.

I scored 100% in almost all of my SACs for physics, but didn't on one SAC and still got 50 with rank 1. Then again, we had 3 50s at our school last year in physics, so you didn't even need rank 1 for a 50.

The person who got 50 in Methods at my school was about rank 6 with the next highest score being me with a 48 and rank 1, then there was a 45 and a few 44s

To get a study score of 50 do you have to have not dropped a mark all year?

I'm aiming for a 45+ in PE and i have only dropped 4-7 (can't remember exactly) marks all year.

Oh and for PE: girl at my school a couple of years back got 50 with a low 90% average, our SACS are scored out of really high numbers so she lost muuuch more than 7 marks, and then got high 80's on the exam.

well i don't know if it's relevant, but in ITA last year I was averaging high 80s/ low 90s for my SACs, and even got like 68% in one of them. The exam came and I missed a question worth 3 marks, and screwed up a few others.

I ended up with a score of 47 lol

So to get a 50, you don't have to get perfect scores for everything. You can afford to lose 1 or 2 marks here and there, max.

Two people I know got 50's for accounting last year and BOTH of them lost 3 marks on the midyear, so it can vary quite a bit for each subject.

I'm so confused with this study score of 50 in Spec but not a 50 in Methods..


Isn't spec x102013012391230120321031 89230 times harder than methods?
spesh is not harder than methods, it's just a different area of mathematics that's all.

hmmm i would argue that the concepts are a little more abstract and harder to grasp in spech, but still they both just require a shite load of work
