I think my SACs are above VCAA standard, but I'd need other opinions to make sure. Our average SAC scores are usually lower than other schools, however we always do well in exams as a cohort (ie. much better than SACs percentage-wise), therefore I'd assume that our SACs are harder than exams.
that's better, because i guess with melbourne high, they can afford to make it harder, because what schools want is to end up with sort of a normal dist. of sac scores, it kinda helps everyone, with melbourne high, you probably have a much stronger cohort than other schools, so your mean would be higher, meaning that they have to make sacs harder to counter that, otherwise everyone would get 100% or close to
but with my school, i dont think our cohort is as strong as MHS's, therefore, if our sacs were as hard as yours, we'd probably have a lot of people getting like 50% whatnot, even though we get good separation at the top...that's why they make it easier, so that everyone kinda "does well" which evens everything out a lot more
if you get what i say, it makes sense in my head
