Too early to panic?

Assuming that goal is to achieve a 40SS in Further Maths, on average what SAC scores are required if the student achieves 90%+ on the exams?

I only scored 86% on the CORE SAC(embarrassing for me considering I made STUPID errors). I know quite a few people who did a lot better. Is it too early to panic?

I'm annoyed at the moment because the SAC was fairly easy, and I know now I'm behind in the sac rankings.

I know that this question doesn't have a definitive answer, but if I do kill every other assessment this year I can still get a 40 right?

Dont panic, there's still hope. Well that's only 1 sac. Yes, if you destroy every other assessment and exams you shuold easily get 40+ Dont fall into the trap of 'ooohhh further is sooo eaaassssyyyy. im not gonna do any work' *bludge bludge bludge* Do not do this. If you want a 40 you will need to work for it!

I got 94% for the core SAC and was so disappointed because there were plenty who got higher. This score just makes me want to work that much harder for the upcoming SACs, one of which is on tuesday!  :D

So, its not too late. Just have a focused mindset on improving the next SAC scores! You can do it!  ;D

Thanks for the replies.

I'm definitely motivated to work harder. I just needed to know if a 40 was still realistic. I'd rather make silly mistakes now than in November.

1 poor SAC in any subject will not cost a 40+.

I think that's the generally accepted statement.

Like I failed my first Psych SAC (relative fail) but bounced back with the second.

Motivation + perseverance should pay off :)
