Biology SAC aftermath: my study score dreams and aspirations

Hey guys. In my first sac I disappointedly got a low A which I believe is just a bit higher than the average sac mark. I was just wondering if I can still achieve a 45+ study score taking into account that my cohort is very strong and possibly will do well in the end of the year. Could someone help???

It's still very possible to get 45+. Biology has like 10 SACs so you have opportunities to redeem yourself. Plus the cohort is strong so don't worry.

I go to the same school, and I got only B+. Very few people got A or above. I don't know why you're complaining, you're making me feel bad lol.

Ask these questions on the Education discussion thread. This thread is devoted to content.

As an aside though, irrespective of what we say, it will make absolutely no difference to your score. Even if you can't get a 45, the score you will maximise your chances by working your hard. Pretty simple formula.

First MHS bio SAC is always marked harsher so you work harder next time (if it's harsh for everyone then it's fair, inb4 complaints). It's been going on for years.

As aforementioned, these posts have been split into a new topic, let's keep VCE Biology Question Thread for course content questions.
