Twin A+'s, even low ones, should get you to at least 42
Then depending on how well the other guys in your cohort do, that could maybe push to 43/44

I reckon 40-44

Not sure about your SAC mark, but given that it's over 90% then yeah i would guess that it is A+
a High A+ for the end of year would get you right up there, 46+
At the top end of the scores there are very few people (i think it's like 2.8% get 44 or above..), so it is really really hard to get 48 49 50

END EXAM: LOW A
a B+ for the midyear puts you in the top 32% at the moment, (http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2011/midyear/vce_psychology_ga1_11.pdf) which is about 32-34 as a study score.
 but with an A end of year and your solid SAC scores that could improve to about 35-36.
Any kind of A+ for the end of year might get you up to about 38

Wait what?

Ok so IDK my ranking in my cohort, but its pretty high I think [@MHS as well]
Unit 3: 31/40 [:S], 68/68, 20/20, idk what I got for the last one
Unit 4: 25/33, 19/25, 39/40, 36/40 [last SAC was tough, my class performed the best and our average was 31 lol]

If I assume I got a low-mid A+ on the mid year, and get another A+ on unit 4, would i be getting 42ish?

You've lost 28marks + unknown in Unit 3 last one. This means nothing if you don't know your rank. Find out how much rank1 lost and a comparison can be made. For eg, if Rank 1 lost 27marks then your 28mark loss is amazing. If Rank 1 lost 1mark then your rank is pretty low.

I don't understand how the sac score is finalised?!
Is it just the average of both exams percentage wise?

The SAC scores are pretty much there to separate people with the same exam scores. But more significantly, they also try to predict the ranking of students from a particular school on the exams.
At the same time, the SAC scores are moderated by exam results, so that some random school who gives A and A+ to lots of students to make them feel good, or who sets easy SACs, do not give their students an advantage over another school which has 'hard' SACs. Overall, your result in the SACs arent as important as your overall ranking among the students at your school in your subject.

But in answering your question amilss, i'm not sure exactly how the SAC score gets calculated. Obviously your results on the SACs contribute, but then there might be some formula as to how that score is changed by your exam scores.

I think the easiest way to go about it is just to do your best in everything, because really that's all you can do..

Your cohort wouldn't affect your sac marks since your ranked 1st. I'd say your in the range of 38-43 depending on how high your mid year result was.
