B in SACs and 2 C+'s in exams will get you the 30 (since normally the average is C+), so your target is around 65% per exam since you've been getting D-E's

Couple of days, You've got over a week!

That should give you enough time to do say, 3 of each exam (assuming your exam schedule is similar to mine), really checking over mistakes, looking at worked solutions etc.

Best of luck!

Since your Sacs are below median, that means you should aim above median scores in the examinations?
So if you check the statistical reports on the VCAA Webpage you will find in Methods 2009, their Medians
and a rough sketch of where you should be aiming.

what raw SS would I be looking at with A+ average SAC marks, lowish A on exam 1 and a high B+ on exam 2?
