How hard is it to get 45+?

I've been getting A+s on my SACs but will have no time to study for it due to how all my exams are set out. I will go through some notes but that's pretty much it. Will able to do max 3 practice exams.

I understand the concepts and definitions, so I'm guessing all there's left to do is apply everything to the case study in the exam, right?

Just give it your best, as long as you know you gave it your best, you should be happy with whatever score you get.

However, factors such as cohort strength/ranking will also come into play.

Don't limit yourself on your studying ! study until your ass starts bleeding

Man I wish I had your mindset.

It is probably about the application, but make sure you write in a format that examiners would like it. That is, answering directly to the question,
I guess all you could do is just do practice exams, hand them in, get them marked, and where marks are lost, you should work on.
Just try and hand as many as you can to your teachers until you get full marks quite easily. And who knows, you might even be able to get higher than 45.

I did last years exam and my teacher (who is an exam assessor) marked it and I got 59/65
Even though I'm ranked in the top 3 or so in a large and quite strong cohort, apparently it wouldn't be enough to get over 45??

i think this year's exam wouldn't be as gnarly as last year's seeing as it was the first year of the study design.

especially the 'management functions' question, that completely caught me offguard (and a lot of others too - an extremely high percentage got that zero marks for that question, alongside with the last question which was about driving and restraining forces which was 10 mark). although it was in the study design, i was still baffled about it. our textbook didn't have a thing on it either!

who else finds it difficult to keep in time? i've been doing separate questions and am aware that it's two minutes per mark (or less if it's out of 65). i'm having trouble to keep that up.

Yeah I was discussing it with my teacher who wrote it, was quite interesting some of the things she had to say about it.  Unfortunately she doesn't give any clues away about this year's exam haha

How hard is it to get over 45, well, how good are you? For some, it'll be easy, for some it'll be impossible, you can't answer a question like that
