<p>Hi guys I was wondering if any of you have been in my situation and pulled off an A still. On the first midterm, the average was 110/150, SD about 28-29, I did abut 4 points below SD. On the second, I only did about average which is around 83/150, with a SD of around 31. I was wondering if its still possible to pull some sort of A if I do really well on the final</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for the responses</p>
<p>You’re in the B- range at the moment. The final is worth 225 points if I remember correctly. It’s going to be really tough… You will need to do really well on the final (something like 1.5 SD above the mean) to have a shot at that A-. You’re also gonna need a lot of people to bomb that final as well lol. Good luck and start studying for finals NOW!</p>
<p>so as of now I’m about 20 points above the average, to score about an A- at the end i need to be about 60-80 points above?</p>
<p>Thanks for your response misterelephante</p>
<p>your posts don’t make sense hchen…you scored 4 pts below avg on MT1 and did about average on MT2…how does that equate to about 20 pts above avg? </p>
<p>24 pts above average (~.75 a SD above average) is well above average for MT2. </p>
<p>Anyways, it’d be really hard for you to get an A-. </p>
<p>I did about half a SD above average on each midterm last year, got an A- and I thought the final was about the same difficulty as the midterms.</p>
<p>sorry i meant to say i got 24 above average on the first midterm and average on the second one. Sorry for the confusion</p>
<p>Ohhh i totally read that as 4 points below the mean on your first MT from your first post. That changes everything. You have a pretty good chance of getting that A- or even an A. I think this would put you roughly at the B range at the moment.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input misterelephante. any tips for preparing for the final?</p>
