Title: can i still get a 40+
Post by: Ionic Doc on July 13, 2019, 10:53:37 am
Hey everyone

I can't believe I'm doing this but can I still get a 40+ for psych with these grades

Also, my school only does 5 SACS throughout the year for psychology.

SAC 1 [ Unit 3 AOS 1 ]  - 76%  ( ranked in the middle  between the top score (82 % )  and class average( 70%)
SAC 2 [ Unit 3 AOS 2 ]  - 92% ( achieved the top score )
SAC 3 [ Unit 4 AOS 3 poster SAC  ] - looking at a mark between 75% and 85% ( poster sac required a large amount of writing and i dont think i got enough down)

So is a 40 + still possible . . .

My last SAC is all multiple - choice
My second - last SAC is all short answer.

I feel like I will be able to do better on these SACS as they are a test format, (not a poster which I genuinely hate doing)

the only reason why I'm paranoid  is that in the last decade, only 2 people from my school have come out with a 40+ in Psych.. . (low 40's as well)

The exam is worth more than the sacs (60%) so if you smash it you'll have a pretty good chance, your ranking also important so try and find that out as it shows where you fit in your cohort, year level strength also plays a part in the final score
