Almost the same situation here... wondering the same thing. That C sounds like it will definitely hurt your grade for your sacs... however, as you go to Macrob, I think you'll be a little safer considering your cohort is strong in comparison to another school with a weaker cohort... maybe.

Sorry, just left your question unanswered didn't I? Someone, please enlighten us with your knowledge xD

I think you'll be fine at MacRob.

For Melbourne High a C+ average on our english sacs got people high A's/low A+s last year.

I think it works on the principle that at MHS/Macrob the average study score is 37-39, which is a high A/low A+, and (at least at MHS) they try to make the average mark a C+ in certain subjects.

Hmm what happens to a very large cohort with students at both ends of the spectrum? Would the exam scores balance out--> sac scores remain the same?

my sac scores have been like yours, jenerator :|
i think all you can do now, is just try to do better for your other sacs i guess and learn from your mistakes from last semester  :)
