Have I ruined all chances of a high 30-40 SS?

[coolcat303]

Hey everyone, so at the beginning of this year I had high hopes of a 40+ study score, but then came along the SACs. I scored a mid 90 for the first assessment, but the next two I scored in the eighties. I'm particularly worried because the fourth SAC, which I haven't got back yet, I feel I did horrifically- more likely than not a 60-70 at best. Looking around at how other students have performed with 40+ study scores, I feel as if I've ruined all my chances of a similar result. We still have two SACs left to go, and even if I were to perform quite well on these ones, would it make much of a difference? If anyone can help with this question, it would be much appreciated!

2 words: "calm down".
I completed VCE back in 2012 and for my english sacs I was in the bottom ish (constantly getting 60's or 70s) but in the end I turned out getting 36 raw (still not great but yeh).
Just take it one step at a time, your marks for your assessments so far seem to be quite impressive. When exam period comes, practice by writing essays under the time limit --> more practice --> more ability to adapt to the wide range of topics they may throw at you on the day.

Good luck!

Well this makes me feel terrible.

64/100. Was hoping for like 38 still as I'm getting a tutor AFTER my next sac worth 50 marks. fml.

Kill the exam and you will be alright. Remember the exam helps SACs scaling.

You have 2 assessments left? That means you still have unit 4 sacs to redeem yourself.

That's 75% of your SS still not calculated. There's still a chance. Don't give up.

SAC scores do get moderated, these scores are not set in stone.

Just try your best, and your marks and rankings will take care of themselves.
