Bio Study Score?

Hi,
I'm in year 11 and doing 3/4 bio atm, and I was just wondering if anyone could give me any sort of rough estimate at what study score im most likely looking at for bio at the moment? My goal at the start of the year was ideally a 45+, but I don't know if that is realistic or attainable anymore. My marks have been:
Unit 3 -
SAC 1 - 45/50
SAC 2 - 46.5/50
SAC 3 - 71-86 (the experimental design poster thing for AOS 3)
Unit 4 -
SAC 1 - 38.5/40

We also did a sort of unit 3 exam which i got 93% for, but I hadn't really prepared for it as much as i could have.

Thanks :)

Your scores look great, but are sort of irrelevant in study score prediction as VCAA only cares about SAC ranks. If you're a high rank and there are a solid amount of people who are going to get 40+, you shouldn't have to worry too much about your SACs. The exam will always be the primary determining factor in your study score and you should definitely be aiming for 108+ out of 120 in your practice exams (for new sd) or 100+ out of 110 (for old sd) if you are going for 45+. As long as you work hard from now on and focus on the exam, everything should fall into place.

My raw scores were less than yours and I got 45+, but VCAA doesn't look at raw scores anyway. If you're ranked highly and you do well on the exam I see no reason why not.

Make sure you are doing lost of exam questions, and at this time of year, doing exam papers too.
