I had the first Biology SAC on Osmosis, and i don't think i did that well (i either would have got a b or b+) but what i want to know is that did i miss my chance of getting a 50 study score, please tell me what i can do from now on if i still have a chance, or if i dont have a chance, then please tell me why?
-
You have a chance.
-
pi, you dont know how much that means to me :) thanks. But can you pleaseeeeee tell me what i will have to do

Don't take this the wrong way, but I actually think that asking this question is really damaging to your ability to do well overall in Biology. Don't worry specifically about getting a 50 - just concern yourself with doing as best as you can.
A friend of mine was in the exact same position as you last year, and when he got a result he wasn't entirely happy with in a SAC he fretted about not getting a 50, and this really stressed him out for a long time (he had really high expectations). He ended up getting a 42 (which he was happy about by then), but in all honesty he could probably have done better if he hadn't been panicking about getting that 50.
Just focus on working extra hard for the next SAC, and keep motivated for the rest of the year. Biology's an epic subject, so make the most of it. As always, send a PM my way if ever you need help with something biol-related :)

You'll have to do well in the rest of your SACs (think A+ level) and do very well on your exam. The way to doing those two is to do your best :)

Having that long term goal is a great way to motivate yourself. But yeah, the 'stress' (not overly stressed) kinda brings more motivation and hard work into your study.

My friend reckons he got a c or a c+, i just want to know if he still has a chance?

His situation makes it considerably harder. He'd have to have A= for the rest of his SACs and ace the exam by a long way!
