Well, I developed a very sound understanding of all of my texts in the summer holidays before year 12 so I jumped straight into writing essays and this has worked well for me.

I started getting my pieces marked by my teacher and cross-marked by another teacher at my school who is an English exam assessor for VCAA.

I started off getting 7-8 but I've slowly improved and am getting 9-10 consistently.

This method has worked for me, maybe it will for you too :)

Feel free to shoot me a message at any time if you ever need any help and I'll do my best to help out when I have time.
You my friend are an inspiration  ;D Haha, i've been getting 8s and feel like i can never improve!, only hit a 9 with context. Thanks for sharing your experience, makes me feel that it's possible for me to improve beyond an 8/10 :)

Hard work pays off. If you don't think so, you're not working hard enough.

You won't have to get 100% for SACs, but basically 100% on the exam, I think I know someone who got 57/60 for the exam, with 100 for both U3 and U4 SACs and got 49

I know someone with the same who got 50 LOL

Haha! No worries at all, mate! Practice makes perfect - so keep working hard and I'm sure you'll start improving. The exam is in ages so you have heaps of time. No stress :)
Aspiring doctor. Why? For the same four reasons as everybody else. Chicks, money, power and chicks.

Wow... That's really weird! I was under the impression that the cut-off for a 50 was 57/60 for the exam. Did their SAC marks stay at 100/100 or did they scale down? That's the only logical explanation I can think of.

No, they got lower than 100 initially, but both units scaled up to 100, I know that for a fact because my scaled scores were 98/100 for U3 and 100/100 for U4 and this guy beat me on both units, so logically he would have gotten 100 and 100 (or 99 and 100, but you know, that's negligible).

He got his statement of exam marks, and he got 57/60.

I would have cried...

Haha same!
