[Year 12 SofDev] Allocation of SAT Marks to U3O2 and U4O1 (McCleary Scott)

Wed May 13 08:20:58 UTC 2020

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reply.  So we will be submitting marks for 5 criteria for Unit 3 Outcome 2 (totalling 50 marks) and 3 criteria for Unit 4 Outcome 1, totalling 30 marks.

I assume then that those 80 marks are scaled as one total to cover the 25% SAT overall mark.   Rather than 50 marks => 12.5% and 30 marks => 12.5%, as the latter would effectively increase the weighting of the Unit 4 criteria.

I don't believe that we have the ability to "adjust" scoring for the SAT to compensate for the things you mention.  You shouldn't need to "split" anything.  When results get entered into VASS they get entered as a score out of 10 for each criteria.  So we would need to just mark each criteria out of 10 based on the criteria/rubric that VCAA have provided.

Yes, it means that the entirety of the SAT will be out of 80 instead of 100 but I don't see this as an issue.  I did Informatics the past few years and the SAT was four criteria in unit 3 and four criteria in unit 4, each out of 10, so a total of 80 anyway.  These all got entered individually and there was no adjustment as such.  I'm not sure how you would plan to adjust anything here when each has to get scored out of 10.

Remember that their score for the subject is calculated over the entire year and not just on one assessment or unit.  VCAA have already reduced the weighting of the SAT to account for the removed criteria and have just moved the weighting to the other two SACs that we do.

I would be marking as normal based on the criteria that are left to mark.

Hi,

With the changes to the SAT requirements, with the U3O2 portion of the SAT having 5 performance criteria and the U4O1 portion having only 3, how do we split the marks?

Last year from memory (my first year teaching SD so I may have this wrong) we submitted a mark out of 100 for U3O2 and again for U4O1.  Each had 4 performance criteria so the split between the two was even.

According to the assessment sheet in the amended SAT Admin doc the suggested marking is 10 per PC.  So that means 50 for U3O2 and 30 for U4O1.  How do we adjust?  If we scale up the 3 criteria in U4O1 they become far more heavily weighted.

Another side question, PC2 (development model) is comparatively light on in terms of effort required, yet is suggested to be 10 marks (20% of U3O2).  I presume we can adjust this to allocate more marks to the analysis/design?

Thanks
