Title: ....is it difficult?

I was just wondering how many hours do you need to study to get a 40+ score for a subject

Sigh. Let's just say my year 12 study scores for each subject are inversely proportional to time spent (I spent the entire year on spesh and English, and did almost 0 work for methods), and then you'll see how impossible it is to answer that question.

My point is that it'll vary for each subject and each person's strengths significantly.

With studying you need to be able to enter that exam room and basically know your stuff back to front to get 40+ for a subject. People who get atleast a 40 will have achieved slightly better than a high A+ for any exam on that subject.

I studied really hard for maths methods and physics and only just managed to get 39 in each.

To get a anything like 45+ you need to basically be able to write a VCAA quality exam paper for the subject! Seriously!

a high A+ for the exam yields 45+ give or take a few dew to rankings, sacs blah blah.

does that mean it's possible to get 45+ and be only above average in sacs, but get really high exam grades?

Yes! If you basically beat everyone in your school doing that subject with your exams, VCAA will adjust your SAC marks to make them higher!

I did really well in my methods exams and only averaged about 80% with SAC's, because I did really well with my exams I got an A+ for my SAC's

Oooh thank you. at least i know that getting an average sac mark isn't the end of the world-- i'll just make up for it on the exam:)

Actually, A+ is generally top 10% of people and 40 is top 8%. Considering that not all 10% of A+ getters will get an A+ in all three GAs, three low A+s will get you very close to 40. Some people get A A+ A+ where the A+s are medium and get low 40s. Slightly better than a high A+ will get you into the 46+ region I would think.
