How difficult is it to come back from a bad score for your first sac?

Messed up my first specialist sac big time and I got 7/20 vcaa marks, while other people got way better than me. How big of an impact will this have on my study score? I know I can do so much better, but starting off with such a low score seems to have me lose a lot of hope for specialist.

keep trying. it's all about practice. It doesn't have that much effect. you can easily beat others in the exam. ( from my own experience)

Exams are still the emphasis with 66% of your total mark coming from the two exams. Also, if you do well on the exams, your overall SAC mark will increase. You can still get a good study score. Keep trying mate. :)
