Hi guys, needed some insight to the VCE system.
To get a 40+, what average do you need across your sacs? Considering you get an A or A+ on the exam.
Could you still get a 40+ if you did bad in Unit 3, and then started trying hard asf in Unit 4 and exams?
For example, after each unit let's say for a 50% exam and 50% sac subject I get C/A+/A+ what is my projected SS?
And lastly, what if someone gets an UG and fails miserably in a Unit 3 sac, is 40+ still achievable?
thanks guys

In general, your actual numerical scores are irrelevant. It is your rank in comparison to your cohort that matters. Your grades will be moderated/adjusted according to your performance on the exam (and of course, the performance of everyone else). With that being said, it definitely is possible to get a 40+ with one low SAC result, provided you do really well on the exam + other SAC results. That's the general idea behind it.

In addition to what Aaron said:
Assuming you do well in the exam (and hopefully, so does your cohort), your Unit 3 SAC results will scale up. However, if you get a C for GA 1 (after exam-scaling), it's very unlikely you'll achieve a 40+ study score. (But remember, this is after exam scaling).
Generally, to achieve a 40+ SS for Legal, you'd want to obtain an A+ on all three Graded Assessments; although in some instances, an A for GA 1 or GA 2 might get you a 40 (as long as you still obtain an A+ for the other GAs).
VCAA SAC moderation can be pretty significant, so don't stress!
Best of luck!

Also, keep in mind that over 8% over students get an A+ for the exam and a 40 is only the top 8% (SACs included).
Basically, just do your best and don't waste time or energy trying to predict numbers no-one can calculate ahead of time. It's the only thing you can do that gets you any benefit.
