Got 86% on my first SAC. Looks pretty good in comparison to what I've heard.

Got my SAC for core in a week, i understood the exercises and feel comfortable with them. yet when teacher gave me a practice SAC it just confused the hell out of me. Kinda getting stressed now.

Got 59/60 (geo and trig), and the question I got wrong was the easiest one! By the way can your sac score be a decimal place or is it rounded?

It's rounded up to a whole number.

Hey, did you guys do 1-2 general maths?  Also hows the work load compared with methods.

No, and bit less if your a capable math student

[Splash-Tackle-Flail]

Personally I only do 1 2 methods, however there is probably a higher workload required to do well in methods than further. At the moment I am putting more work into further though because it's my 3 4 (didn't do 1 2). Also thanks ~V!

hows everyone gone with sacs and what not

What does everyone do in the days leading up to the SAC? I've dome sacs, workbook questions etc, what can I do?

Get a good sleep!

I've still got a week haha  , i know what I'm saying may backfire, but the content is easy and is quite boring, why it may backfire: silly mistakes, I've done all i can to minimise these.

With methods i could just do more questions and keep spamming as its more challenging and more "brainy".

[Splash-Tackle-Flail]

Zealous I just realised you got premiers for further congrats! Any tips on minimising the silly mistakes, especially for the core- sometimes I write my reg equation with fractions when it says to round, or I use r instead of r^2

First SAC for Matricies the mean mark was 53%, I got 87%.

Still kicking myself for losing the two "gimmiest" marks i've ever lost in my schooling career.
