Title: Does SAC rank matter?
Post by: Orson on August 01, 2015, 12:47:55 pm
Hey guy...I'm aiming for a low 40 SS in methods. I'm roughly rank 5 in my cohort (Only by a few marks)...If I ace the exam (which I'm pretty confident in) can I get that SS?

Thanks guys...I know you guys are sick of questions like this...but yeah.

Yes SAC rank matters, and yes you can get that score.

Okay thanks. After reading that, I get the gist that SAC rank matters more than I (and many people I know) thought it did. Am I capped at a low 40? Could you please tell me like the maximum score I can get? I average roughly 85%. Sorry, I know you've made a specific post and all that...Thanks!

You need a rank for me to give an accurate response, but i'd say 48-49

Sac rank counts more than sac mark. Some schools might be marking really harshly, thus sac rankings show u r outperforming your peers.. vce is all about rank.

For eg. My history class last year. rank 1 average sac mark was 83% and rank 2 was 79%.. their ss? 46 and 44. Its sac rank not sac score.
