im shattered :(

Hey man it's not that bad, as long as you do well in the rest of your sacs and the exams from what I've heard you can still get a damn awesome study score.
But yeah, you'll wanna ask any questions you have on the forums, and read over your text periodically, because theory is at the heart of everything! Also, try to do extra questions and expecially extended-response questions if you are unsure - success in maths requires practice.

Yeah, individual SACs, on their own, don't really mean much in the grand scheme of things.

hopefully some1 can answer this.
our cohort has done 2 sacs so far, 1 of which i got 98% and the other (a calc sac) 72% grrrr. is it still posible to get >40? im not totally sure about the breakdown of the methods sac/exam importance. are sacs only worth 22% or something? would love some help thx.

your SAC score doesnt matter, only your SAC ranking does.
and your ranking allocates you an externally-moderated SAC score based on the performance of your cohort in the exam, as well as the state's performance in relation to standardised SACs (each school's correlation between SAC and exam gets taken into account, with or without GAT scores if it helps the regression)
what I'm really trying to say is, there is a possibility, so long as you keep your ranking as high as possible and do well on the exam:
bottom line, do as well as you can.
there is no point worrying about administrative procedures as to how SACs are moderated and how much of it counts, just do as well as you can, and surprise yourself with an excellent score! =)

thanks mate!
