Ranking = study score? and exam prep

[zacobris]

In my core sac I dropped 6 marks out of 40, the next two sacs I got full marks (graphs & relations and matrices) I just had my networks sac and I think I could have dropped 1 mark to get 19/20 but I'll have to wait to see what the mark up will be. So overall my sac mark will be 94/3 out of 100. There are plenty of people around me and much higher 99/100 & 100%.

I am scared that because of my sac marks I won't be able to achieve the mid to high forties that I am aiming for.

Also how should I prepare for the exams? Do sacs to learn some of the topics again or go straight into practice exams to cram in as many as possible? I have another 3/4 but it's a vet subject so I am prepared to work a lot harder in further.

i say work over the areas where you dropped marks at, and the chapter reviews wouldnt hurt either. then do a fair load of practice papers (if year 11), again going over the areas you lost marks from the paper. you should be able to do all this without your reference book, maybe except for the formula sheet. the reference book is just there for confidence

Practice exam questions and questions from your book or from sacs don't really relate.
Start doing practice exams, it will help you much more. I wouldn't really recommend spending much time on a bound reference. I've done around 15 sets now and I need to look up something only once or twice during a exam and that is always in the book.
By the time of the exam the bound reference will be useless imo.

For the SAC ranking and SAC score:
If the students above you score better than you, than you're mark won't be brought down. Let's say you are rank #5 and you score fifth highest in the exam then you'll get your exam mark as you SAC mark. If the whole top 5 scores 100% you will all get a 50.
