History Revs SS prediction:Sorry in advance for being a pain

So I'm sorry for being such a cliche and nagging about a potential study score, but...
For unit 3 I received 90/100, with my second SAC pulling my score down greatly.
I've just recently completed my first unit 4 SAC, getting an A+
With the knowledge that my teacher's marking is harsh and that my ranking should be fairly good, with a high exam score what range of a study score might I be looking at?
I apologise once again, I'm just a bit stressed and such!

Depends on your rank and exam score.
I'd say with a top rank and a low to high A+ you would be looking at around high 30s to high 40s. depends on waht you mean by high exam score really.

It's the sac RANK that counts, not the score. Remember that VCAA calculate your SAC grades based on cohort performance in the exam.

If you rank near the top of the cohort and do really well on the exam you can get in the 40s easily. Considering that your teacher marks harshly I'm sure that you'll be fine :) But yeah don't make the same mistake I did. It's all about the exam. My perfect SACS in both ITs and a low A+ on the exam only got me 41.

Thanks so much for the reassurance. I guess I'm just getting less confident in my abilities as the exam looms, which is not a good thing haha. And as an aside, 41 is still an amazing score regardless!

Funny, my 2nd SAC in Unit 3 wasn't too great either and I ended up with 90/100 too :P

But yeah, needn't worry about the scores as much as cohort, it's going to be a pain but will have to study like a madman cause that exam is going to be crucial.
