ahh, i may be a little confused here, just hypothetically lets say your ranked 5th in the cohort would it be possible to achieve a 40+, given rank 1 dominates the exam but the others don't do as well and you perform better than them?

Yeah 40+ is achievable with basically any sort of above average ranking with a superb exam score.

Bad sac rankings can only deprive you of the higher range scores like 48-50, where everyone does well on the exam and often your sac marks may make a difference.

Thanks for your reply, so for example if someone is ranked last and get full marked on the exam (by some miracle) they could get a 45? Sorry for the quetions

No I don't think so. If someone is ranked last and gets like 12/33 for Sacs but 67/67 for exam they'd get 79/100 for overall which is like a 35-40.

Does anyone know someone who's performed badly like low A+/high A but still managed to ace English?

I'm presuming you mean low A+/high A is SACs. My teacher (at macrob) had a student that got 61/100 for unit 3 and 94/100 for unit 4 and got a high A+ (56/60) in the exam and got a 46. She got a low grade for unit 3 because she cheated on one of the SACs.

Low A+/high A = performing badly? :-\ :-[ :'(
And define 'ace'.
(e.g. I was tipping the low A+/high A all through my SACs, didn't ace English but got a solid enough mark).

Some kid at a private school had C+ for his very first sac and ended up with 48 SS for english

thanks so much

Her unit 3 grade ended up being 87/100 and her unit 4 grade was 98/100. If she did better in unit 3 (like at least high 80s/low 90s) she could have probably pulled off a 48 because I know quite a few people who got 48 with the exam score and low-mid 90s SAC grades at top-tier English cohorts like MGS, MHS, Macrob, St Kevins. A couple of years back, a guy that was ranked one in MGS got a 50 with 56/60 in the exam. So yeah 49/50s are possible with low 90s provided you get like 58+ (maybe 57)/60 in the exam. If it's low 80s however, 50 is probably not possible and the highest you can probably get is 48-49.

Hi,
What happens if for unit 3 you were rank 1 and then in unit 4 you're rank is around 5 after a bad sac. Is the ranking given to vcaa per unit or at the end of the year? I just want to know how badly that one sac ruined me haha.
Thanks

Hello, wow this was really helpful, thank you so much!

One question: okay, so just say you're ranked number one in a very weak cohort, but you are number one by a looong way (like, you're full marking all sacs but everyone else is barely passing). if that number one messes up the exam, what would happen then?

Same thing as if they were number one with 1 mark separating them.

And no worries, glad to help
