with those scores on last years exam, you would be sitting on around a 35, but this years exam was relatively easier, so id have to say no, i dont think you can get a 35 raw. More looking towards the 33 mark, max 34

Ye i reckon, but i just don't understand the mechanics of SACs. Why is each sac we do weighted but when we "calculate" our study scores we only use an average? How does the sac mark change in terms of ranking because i just gave a raw sac mark to you.
Thanks for the help, in year 11 and i'm a bit confused.

Dont worry we were all in the same position as you once. Your sac score is simply a ranking among your cohort, you are not supposed to use your sac average to calculate your sac score, you are given a sac score for each sac, and some sacs are worth more because they constitute a bigger part of the course. This ranking is then used to determine your sac score based on your cohorts exam performance. For example, if you were to be rank 8, your sac score would actually be derived from the 8th highest exam score in your cohort. And the sac scores are far less important than the exam anyway, so i mainly predicted your score based on what you got on the exam, because i have no clue how your sacs would scale

So if I was ranked second, but outscored the person ranked first in both exams, by 4+ on Exam 1 and 7+ on Exam 2, do I get their exam mark? Or how does this work exactly?
2013: Physics 37-->39.6
2014: Specialists 39-->50.36
          Methods 42 -->46.83
          Further 46-->45.07
          Chemistry 36-->40.54
          English 30-->27.75

Lets ah.. never speak about english again?
