What is my problem

[Frozone]

Hello everyone,
so i study extremely hard, usually 3 hours everynight, i do fairly well in most of my subjects [90+] but it seems that i come undone when it comes to business Management. I got 86% on my first unit 3 sac and i am worried i will not be able to get the scores i am aiming for.
So my questions are:
Does anyone have any tips
&
can you still get a high 40 even with a B-B+ on the first and or second Sac?

It doesn't really matter about your score man, it's about the rank. It might have just been a really hard SAC and everyone didn't do well so you might even be the top rank, so don't stress, it's only one SAC. Just try and nail your next ones and you'll do great

Score is irrelevant but rank is really important

The people above are right i got 90 for my first sac and was ranked 2nd in class you have to focus on ranking. I did lote in 2012 got fairly high in my SACS but due to a lot of the class getting higher than me and their ranking much higher i got a study score in the 20's. hope that helps . (Plus the exam is what counts the most if your exam mark is really good then that will push your sac marks up also)

You're overloading mate. 3 hours a night is too much. 21 hours a week for the whole year? You will burnnnnn out.
I averaged a 1.7 hours a night for the whole year. Obviously did a lot more before exams

Was doing 2 hours a night up until about now/June and burnt out for about a month

Just out of curiosity, why did you actually study 2 hours a night? I study the night before each SAC (as in learning it) and have pulled off pretty decent marks asides from one SAC getting a B+. I'm of course changing my ways to maybe 2 hours a week for business management (my only 3/4), but 2 hours a night, better yet 3 hours a night, is so unnecessary.

Then again, you did get a 50, and I'm aiming at a 40 .

How did you only manage to study so few hours and get such an ATAR/ENTER score?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I worked smart. I was training for a sports team 4 nights a week also.

I recorded every minute of study I did from Jan 30th - Nov 22 (last exam) which gave me consistency and I could reflect each week on how I was travelling. OCD?

To be honest your ATAR means nothing now 2 years later. But heck, I don't regret the 530 hours I spent studying and the countless hours stressing. All worth it

Hm, I wouldn't call three hours a night overloading. That seems an appropriate amount of time for a balance of quality and quantity for the higher scores.

Each to their own mate.
