Can I still get a study score of 30 in biology?

So my aim at the start of the year was to get at least a study score of 30 in biology. Thing is, my SAC scores tell me i'm probably not.
Here are the scores of all my SACs so far:
Unit 3: 30%, 28%, 60%, 60%
Unit 4:, 43%, 56%, 93%

I have one more SAC which is the LAST SAC of the year, then the end of year exam. Can I still achieve a study score of 30 in biology????

When VCAA calculates your SAC scores they don't use your percentages, instead they look at how your SAC scores are compared to your classmates (best, 2nd best, 3rd....) and how your entire class performed on the exam.

Eg. If everyone in your class gets a C on the exam or higher, then everyone's (in your class) SAC scores will be C or higher, regardless of the percentage scores you got. 

It's also worth pointing out that most of your study score comes from your exam performance

So yes,  there's definitely still hope.


Hope this helps
