Title: SACS
Post by: vcaa on February 24, 2010, 07:13:05 pm
how many SACS do you have per subject. E.g. For accounting we have a minimum of 1 SAC per week and if we are 'lucky' we have 2 SACS per week.

it depends on how your teachers organize it you can have one per outcome or they can split the outcome into many sacs.

I'm just doing Methods, and that's two or three SACs per unit, I think.
That's a lot of SACs for accounting!

I think all units are split into areas of study.  As albeno says, you have an outcome for each area of study, which can comprise of one or many SAC's

i think 2 sacs a week for the one subject is going a tad overboard.

your so lucky! i have a sac every so often worth like 30 or 40 marks. having one sac a week you wont have to memorise as much and its worth less too so if you stuff up it wont affect you as badly

yea but accounting it can vary on how your teachers tests you and as sacs are 33% you need to get high 90 in all to get a good score

Having SACs that frequently must keep you on the ball year round. I have 1 or 2 every outcome so theyre pretty well spaced out, except they all seem to be set for the same days/weeks!

I've been having Chem SACs like every week. But they're all apart of a pretty big SAC worth 50% of our Unit 3 SAC marks and I've already lost 3 marks, woe is me.

None of my other subject have had any SACs yet but in around two weeks they're all going to start piling up :/ Way to organise SAC dates properly, inconsiderate teachers.

we have those same chem sacs each week for three weeks then a few weeks after the huge one worth 50%.

for my other subjects i have a sac every few weeks,
one tomorrow, two next week and two or three the week after i think...

i don't know how you can even have one every week, that'd be far too stressful and annoying.. ha

Just realised. 2 next week. 2 the week after. 1 the week after that. =\ Only had 1 so far.
