I would advise against ignoring/flunking your SACs though.

Asides from examples where you deserve about 50 (rargh's post is accurate, it is possible to not be the best and get 50), your sac mark can and will bring you down. It is much better to be the other way around and be #1 in SACs and stuff up the exam slightly.

Example: I (am pretty sure I) was rank 1 in methods, I lost 5 marks over both exams and got 43
Someone else from my class was near the bottom of the sac rankings, lost 4 marks over both exams and got 40. He bought a statement of marks, I know a little summary of my scores due to VCAA originally giving me 42 for it, so these are true numbers not 'oh I think I lost 4 marks when I really lost 10'

Example 2: My GAs for chinese were B+, A, A+ (GA 1 and 2 are sacs). High exam result doesn't pull them up. I got 34 and I know of people who got A in the exam component that got 36.

true. 50 requires either to be ranked first or have a v.strong cohort like mhs.

if you have the ability to own the exam, in this case I believe, a math exam, then your life is a lot easier. Math is straight forward, there is one right answer, so if you have the aptitude to ace the exam, you can also own the SACs, no matter how much your teacher might hate you, you cannot be marked down much. [If this was in English or something where the marking is subjective, it will be a different case]

in any case, start now and hit the ground running

great work in the further ss Red_x_Lily.
did you end up getting a better ss than your peers?
what were your GA's? must be all A+?

Thanks lacoste.   And yes, all three GAs were A+.
I checked the papers today ( ) and saw that our school had one 50, one 49, one 45, and about three/four 42s. I know the two who got 49 and 50 were definitely ranked above me, so were a couple of the 42s.

I agree with what everyone above has said too - always take your sacs seriously.

in my case, i should have been ranked 1 or 2 in sacs for Geography, but wasnt for some fucking gay reason..
i knew i'd get the highest exam mark in the class..
i ended up with a decent A+, and was ranked somewhere between 4-6... which is absolute BULL SHIT, and ended up with a 38
with shit as fuck SAC marks, due to my class sucking huge balls and failing at the exam.

so guys: make sure your ranked first and avoid disappointment.

Pretty sure I was ranked first in legal... Then the exam came...

[xox.happy1.xox]

Well considering more than one person in the class can get 45 I don't see why only the first ranked would be able to...

Unless you go to a school like mine. (Who has like, 2% of students over 40 :S)

No one said that, if you had read further. If you are being ranked 15th.
