Not to hijack this thread at all just confused and hope I didn't wreck my further study score :(
I started off this Unit 4 really well with barely losing a mark for the first two SAC'S. Then the past two I have done simply terrible  and have lost some ground in the rankings to be on a B/C+ according to VCAA scoring. The cohort is strong with people owning this Unit just my form has fallen away but am working on getting it back. This subject and the rest are mainly reliant on the exam scores for the SS. Such as further being 66% for the total mark.
Sorry everyone for such a noob post for a first one and I think I am just stressing over nothing.
That's okay :)
SACs don't matter SO MUCH, it just depends what your ranking is. Going well in the exams are much more important! When I did further last year my average was 95% in sacs, but since my cohort was crap, they were moderated down to an A :( Sucks heaps, but I know I went well on the exams. Work and study hard for your exams and you'll get what you deserve :)
I hope this post isn't useless :P

Did you still get above 40 even with the A for sacs.

The cohort is very strong at the top. At the end of Unit 3 I was in the top 5-10 and I am now in the top 30 out of around 70 students even with these low scores. So it seems that I still have some hope of getting a 35-37 provided I get around a B+ or A on the exams? Thanks and your post was far from useless. Thanks again :D

How many people are assigned A+'s in year 12 at CRC Sydenham. My Literature cohort will contain approx. 25 people in total. So does this mean I need to rank first to get an A+ for Lit?

I see.

In theory, what would happened if I ranked 5th in my cohort, got the best exam result. Who would achieve the highest SS then?

You mean the highest SS in your cohort? To be honest I don't know, no one knows. It depends on how they perform on the exam too.

Generally you want to perform better on your exam than your sacs, sacs arent so important.

Ill give you a little example, using what i got in software:

Mate:
Unit 3 SACs - A+
Unit 4 SACs - A+
Exam - B

Study Score:36

Me:
Unit 3 SACs - A
Unit 4 SACs - A
Exam - A

Study Score:37

just smash the exam and you'll be set

I've said it elsewhere, but i was on Mid A's for my Rev's SAC's. Ranked about 10th in a cohort of 40.
Ended up with a raw ss of 44, highest in the cohort.
