has anyone else started Unit 4? we've finished the courts and essentially the court hierarchy. apparently we're having a sac at the end of term 2 but where's everybody else at?
-
Yep, we finished Outcome 3 about 2 weeks ago ad have since been studying Outcome 1 of Unit 4.
But our SAC for this outcome won't be until about a week after we get back from the holidays.
-
Just had my SAC for outcome 3 unit 3.
-
We have our Unit 3 Outcome 3 SAC on Friday... then we have to do a practice exam the week after >:(
-
Finished the last sac for unit 3 on monday and started unit 4.
-
where do you think you're at in terms of SAC rankings?
-
I'm rank 1...
-
I'm rank 1...
congratulations. i'm probably second, my friend hasn't dropped a mark yet, unfair :(

Seconds pretty good too.... my cohort isn't very strong but so I don't think it means much being first
-
I wouldn't say my cohort's that great either. a few do stand out but from what i've heard (there's two different classes) there are a lot of people who'll do badly. and there aren't too many people in my class who do outstanding consistently. maybe 1 or 2 people. I don't like being dependent on my cohort, especially going to a somewhat low-ranked school
-
I'm ranked equal first. Pretty strong cohort so I'll have to try pretty hard to stay up there.

I get what you mean with the low ranked school thing. You pretty much need to be on top or your in trouble . :(
-
I'm in a really weak cohort, and i mean really weak but theres two people in my class that ace the sacs. I'm not doing that great, stuffed up the constitution sac.
-
So many of us are really close, dropping very few marks. My average is something like 94% and Id say im second best in my class but I dont necessarily have the second best ranking. Top 5-10/50 probably. Its all well and good for the other people to memorise one outcome but the end of year i think will mess up a few people. My cohort is reasonably strong. I dont go to really high ranking school but theres a handful of 45+ perennially. If I maintain my rank my results should stay untouched.
-
can anyone explain the effect of rankings on your study score. i've been told it's about getting another person's exam results but...I dunno, seems weird to me. does anyone here understand the system?
-
Very strong cohort at my school!
I am ranked roughly 7th, Happy with that considering the strength of the group,
Average is 89%.

The marks in SACs don't really matter, it's just used to rank the whole cohort doing a particular subject. Say you're ranked first, then come exam time the top exam mark is matched to your SACs and thats how you get your grade for your SAcs.
It makes sense, because some schools will have particularly easy compared to another school, so it sort of balances everything out.
-
i got my first sac for unit four fist lesson back next term cos we miss so many classes due to yr 11s having exams and thus not able to show up to class.
-
hey,
i've been averaging about 80-90% on sacs what do i need to do to get a SS over 35
-
A consistent 75~80% in SACs and the exam should be a solid 35 (It doesn't mean you should aim for that!!)
-
I hate my school LOL Its soo competitive with our legal class averaging around a 92 -.-
I'm firs rank though.... still kinda scared I might lose that rank.....
We've just finished finished our first sac for unit 4 and does anyone use the 'breaking and making the law' book?

Your school is the opposite of mine, the legal students in my cohort do really bad. But there's about three students that ace the sacs. I think i may be ranked 5th out of about 30 students so im not in a good position because i only really see 2 of those students getting A+s on the exam. My school uses justice and outcomes but i don't like it i just use my A+ notes which i find really helpful.

yeah bad man....that A+ notes is gold for legal! LOL
but then again its best to use as much available resources for legal, I use both justice outcomes and breaking and making the law XD

Just got my Unit 4, Outcome 1 result.. 100% :D
Only one in my cohort. Two others got 98%.
Pretty ecstatic, considering i though i was gonna get like 80%.
We use the WORST legal textbook. But i can't remember the publisher for the life of me. It's orange. Maybe cambridge?
I'm neck and neck with two other students for #1 in my cohort.

congratulations. it's pretty bad for me in my cohort, i dropped 3 marks in my first two marks, perfect since but since my friend (who's number 1) hasn't dropped a mark all year I have to wait for him to screw up rather than me try and push my marks higher. irritating circumstance
