Will my SACs and rankings affect me in getting a 45?

My cohort this year is quite good. So that's no problem. But for my SACs, I haven't been getting all A+/, but majority of them I have been getting A+s.
Because my cohort is moderately strong, I'm not along the ones on the top rankings.
But I plan to get a high A+ on the exam. If I do get a high A+, let's say 62/65, will I still be able to get a 45 raw despite my SACs and ranking?

I'm wondering the same thing about my study score.
I can do very well on exams and remember information well however i have dropped my standard on one sac quite badly to a C+ and one to a 84% otherwise 90% and the rest 100%'s how badly would this affect my overall SS if i got an A+ on the exam?

Very ruthless.
But remember, it's about your rank and cohort

i think my rank could be 3-4 in a moderately strong cohort gets around 70-85% on the sacs as an average.

Would getting a 45 mean I need a reaaally high A+? How much out of 65? :/

means you can only drop 4-5 marks, as I'm predicting better results by everyone this year.

just aim for 65/65. :D

i know your sac marks...i keep telling u what you will probably get LOL whats wrong with my opinion! the same as everyone elses.

rough guideline for people to follow, for every lost mark on the exam is minus one from a score of 50. just a rough guideline from what i heard haha :]

what are you serious? i thought this was only for further where it's super competitive and there's about half a billion people doing it?! i never knew business was like this too.

i got 39 ss with an A on the exam, and the cutoff was really low last year

that was with doing no practice exams because I was an idiot, and a slightly above average ranking @MHS [175/200 or so, when there were like 4 or so guys that dropped only 2-3 marks for the whole year]

you guys will do fine, just don't stress out

Did they have like A+ for sacs??

Business is different to further, i doubt 1 mark = 1 study score, it would depend on rankings and how everyone else in your cohort does as the exam = 50% and sacs = 50%.
