Further SS prediction with bad SAC marks

I did pretty badly in my SAC's for Further this year. For unit 3, I got an average of C+ and for Unit 4: B/B+ (I know this isn't necessarily bad, but it is in terms of ranking at my school as the average is around A, I believe).

I go to MHS though and our SAC's are known to be scaled like crazy but considering I'm (likely) ranked pretty low in my cohort, I'm not sure how I'm going to be affected.

I did pretty well in the exams. I got 97.5% (39/40) in Exam 1 and 95% (57/60) in Exam 2. I may have gotten higher in Exam 2 but I can't remember my answers. I definitely lost one mark but the other two are questionable. For calculations sake, let's assume I did, in fact, lose three marks in total for Exam 2.

What range of study scores can I expect to receive?

Cheers :)

EDIT: I know there are many study score calculators out there and many ways to reaching an estimate but an integral part of these calculations is my SAC mark/ranking, which I have no idea about. I was under the impression that my SAC marks would scale up if I did well in the exam but I'm beginning to realise that's not necessarily true. So, I suppose, my question really is: what range of scaled SAC marks am I looking at?

i reckon ur sac marks will scale up either way, esp with ur nice exam performance + strong cohort. I reckon you might be able to 40+it? sacs for further are pretty small compared to the exams (forgot the weighting), with ur scores, if u had amazing sacs, 45+ id say, but the sacs may drop it to like 42 if they dont scale as well? not too sure, hope i was helpful :)

Oh damn, I was hoping to get 45 or above. You don't think that's possible?

no 1 knows fam - very possible with your exam scores -  generally speaking losing 4 marks across both exams with 100% sacs is a 46. Your sacs should scale like crazy - not sure how crazy though. It's bound to reach A+ level - coz further is so competitive at the 45+ range where a mark is literally a SS your sac scores could harm you significantly. But i reckon you stand a solid chance at a 45+ --- no one here can tell you yes or no but just gotta forget about predicting atm coz there's literally no way of knowing spud :)

I know someone who got 100% from both exams.  (she went for re-checking ..so it is definite 100%) But was rank 9.   cohort was medium smart.  Received 41 for further.
if we know some figures how people went in past with their study scores and rankings.... we might able to predict....
