You beast. Congratulations Mine's coming up soon

I got an 18/20 for my business sac today... Was pretty pissed because I put down the right answer, and she didn't give me any marks as i didn't refer to the case study. Was a bout stakeholders and i wrote about employees and recived 0/2 for that question
Rank 3/50, will be hard to get that rank 1

Haha thanks, what I meant to say was I got it back today full marks  , all I can say study your titrations very hard especially back titrations lol you know that and a bit of theory you'll be all over it

[jeanweasley]

Just a question, are you told what your rank is after receiving a SAC? Now, I know we're ranked but I'm not quite sure how the process goes. Would anyone care to explain?

SACs are all about your ranking, as well as the strength of your cohort, son.

If you feel your scores are lacking and that you should be worried, that's you triggering an internal wake up alarm

You've gotten your first taste of SAC's, the feeling of failure, and dissatisfaction. I'd been in your exact position last year, but instead of acting upon it, I was lazy, unmotivated and gave up. The cost. I got a very very low score for Physics and I'm repeating English, when my other friends are doing year 12 without the burden of the single most important subject (for most) for their ATAR.

Remember that your SAC Graded Assessments are compiled from all your SAC's for the Unit, so getting a low score in one SAC, doesn't necessarily rob your opportunity of getting a good SS. It merely gives you less breathing space, or margin for error in the rest of your SAC's.

I got 16.5/20 for business. A+ cut off last year was 93/100. Losing close to 4 marks on my first SAC just leaves with less breathing space for errors in my next SAC's. A+ is still well and truly possible. Harder, but still possible

Use what has happened recently as fuel for motivation I'm sure you'll be fine!

Economics sac tomorrow. Wish me luck.
thanks

[Mr Keshy]

[s.ay]

A+ in English, lit and bio sacs, so apprehensive about chem gah. How are you guys dealing with the stress of assessments? Any strategies out?

[hardworker]

Just want to know how everyone going  with chem this year? Personally i like it but my teacher doesn't really go over the concepts well just gives sheets out and tells us to read.

uber 50 mark chem sac tomorrow on volumetric acid-base analysis. should be okay, but more than 1/2 the class last year failed it at my school, and they were a strong cohort
