Can I get 50 for Legal Studies?

It's only semester one, but I'd still like to focus on my study score for Legal Studies.
Here's my situation:
I have done 3 SACs so far, and I got 20/20, 19/20, 25/25 for them. I would like to score a 50 for legal, but I think you need 100% on every SAC and the exam. Is this true, or can you get a 50 with very close to 100% on each SAC (like 100% for all expect one)?

Please let me know! I'd like to know how high I can get my study score!  ;D Thanks!

How does that ranking work? Do I have to be the best student at my school in Legal?

It is important that you are able to get and maintain a high SAC ranking, to have the best chances of a 50 you should aim for rank 1. Sometimes people are misled with high SAC scores because the way they are structuring their responses is not the way examiners want, so make sure you are writing in a way that you maximise scores. You can't afford to lose too many marks for a 50 in legal, I'd say maximum of 2 marks because whilst the subject material is 'easy', it is highly competitive.

Pretty much, you should aim for the highest SAC averages for both your units (out of all students doing legal at your school).

you don't have to get 100% on all your SACs to get a 50 in any subject, in fact you don't need to get 100% in your exam either (but it'll need to be pretty close to be competitive). I know someone who got a 50 in legal and she did not score 100% in all her SACs. Just make sure you keep performing the way you are in all your SACs and do well in the exam because your study score primarily depends on how you perform on the exam and your score compared to others. Therefore if you are able to pull off a really good score on the exam as well then i don't see any reason for you to not get a 50 ;)

Good luck!

Yes. The SACs are relatively easy, and the marks students are getting are very high. Thank you for helping. I'll try to get rank 1 in my class!
