Well if you get 90/90....

just saying, my friend for accounting last year, got A+ on midyear, and D+ on end of year (he went overseas and couldn't be bothered), he got 34, scaled to 35, that said his A+ must have been really high.

What does this mean?
Nothing, just do your very best, I mean why not?

C+ is ALWAYS the state-wide average (median and mode) for any exam, and 30 ALWAYS is the average (again median and mode) study score.
So at the moment, with your C+ midyear, you are about halfway in the total psychology cohort, on track for a score of 30.
The SAC marks are of much less importance in determining your overall study score, but your A is solid so that will definitely help

The distribution of study scores in VCE is such that for a score of 37 (or above) you must be in the top 1/6th of the cohort.

In this Unit 3 exam, 18.5% of people got an A or A+. So at this stage, a low A on the midyear would not even get you to 37, let alone 40. (http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2011/midyear/vce_psychology_ga1_11.pdf)

So in theory, if you got a C+ on the Unit 4 exam, you would get ~30 study score.
If you did a perfect exam (no marks dropped), you could maybe push yourself up into about the top 20% of the cohort (assuming that everyone else gets the same marks as they did for the midyear). Top 20% would get a score of about 35 or 36

But don't even worry about any of that:

just go into that exam and do your best to absolutely smash it - that's all you can do

how is your future gone? atar is just a number man, at the end of the day if it isn't high enough just do tafe to get into uni, its like one extra year of education and on the upside you will have a head start.

you still have at least 5 other subjects don't you?

or if you're in year 11..just repeat it if you aren't happy or forget about it and do something else

plenty of other possibilities
