Title: 50 still possible!?
Post by: Romaboy on March 16, 2012, 08:24:35 pm

Hey guys,

So for my first SAC, I got 82% and on my second I got 86%,
Is a 50SS still possible.
I'm pretty sure I'm coming 2nd in the cohort and only down by a few marks to the first person.

Unless you want to rely on someone elses success then you need to overtake rank 1.

There was a guy ranked 2nd in my school and he got 50 and the person ranked 1 got lower; does anyone have a clue as to how that may have happened?

Yeah, if the rank 1 failed both exams but had highest SACs whilst the second person full-marked the exams and got second highest in SACs, therefore the second person would get a higher SS (by a considerable margin, as this is an extreme example) :)

I reckon the margin between them in the exam wouldn't have been that high- they both got A+s. This keeps me awake at night lol...

Why is everyone so determined of getting a 50s for bio... This makes me getting a low40s really hard
