A 50 is not easy in any subject. 80+% is probably only around 35-38

Oh, but that is taking into consideration that I did not study nor revise nor paid attention in class. Yeah it is not easy as I thought it would have been. If I studied I could have probably got 90+ or maybe even 100.

Still, nothing is easy to get a 50 in. Only a small fraction of people will get a 50 in each subject & you won't be the only person in your year level who finds psychology relatively easy. Additionally, SAC scores aren't a great marker of where you are relative to the rest of the state as they are individual to each school - exam marks are far better for SS prediction & there are no perfect predictors either.

If you want to get a 50 then you should start learning how to study and aiming to do your best in every test, not just assuring yourself that you could have done better had you tried harder. Not trying your hardest is the easiest way to get to 3/4 without knowing how to study properly and you’ll suddenly see your marks drop compared to everyone around you who is working hard and has spent year 10 & 11 trying out various study methods to figure out what works for them.
Take advantage of the many oppourtunities you’ll have before your year 12 exam to attempt tests to the best of your ability and practice and improve both your content knowledge and exam taking abilities. It’ll make things easier for you when you get to the exams that directly affect your ATAR.
