Still possible to get 35? (I know, I know..)

Hey guys, hoping for a bit of help.
I'm doing Legal Studies this year (currently in year 11) 3/4 and am just trying to get a rough idea what I could get in the subject. I've been doing pretty mediocre - semester one's overall average was 81% so only just scraped an A, and semester 2's average is around 81% to with one SAC remaining.
It was only recently (couple weeks back) that I really realised that I didn't want Legal to be my 10% (have spare time this year) and was just wondering, is a study score of 35 (want legal to be my fourth) scaled still possible if I studied hard and got say, an A on the exam? I'm in a cohort of 12, only one student's getting an overall average of 95%+, couple others low 90's.

I feel kind of stupid considering most people on this forum are getting high 90's constantly but was just wondering, could I still get 35?

Apologies for the dim-wittiness,

Michael.

The exam means so much more than SACs man. If you study hard for the exam a 35 is realistic.

If you completely commit yourself in these 60 or so days, there is no reason why you cannot get a 40 - 45
35 is still easily in reach

Short answer - yes, very much so. If you perform well on the exam, then 35 is very achievable. Note, that being rank 1 in SACs doesn't always correlate to achieving the highest study score. In other words, it is possible to end up getting a higher study score than someone who was ranked above you in SACs; it fundamentally comes down to the exam and how you perform on it.
