Redeeming yourself- Getting average marks on the first SAC

So I have a SAC tomorrow- the problem is throughout the whole term... i did no work what-so-ever, i don't know why, i'm just that lazy. I'm studying right now though and i know what the SAC is going to be about. It runs from wednesday to next wednesday because it's supposed to last 5 lessons (or periods).

I suspected that i'm going to get around 70% instead of >95% which is what i desire, who doesn't right? I haven't studied hard enough to get that mark for this SAC and I know the consequences; i'll probably get a C or B.

For the school year, we're supposed to have 4 SACS. This specific one is worth 40% of our Sac marks so its pretty important, the problem is i've screwed up and will probably get average marks. If I did manage to get >95% on the next 3 SACS (or lead my class cohort), what difference would that make to my first SAC in which i was ranked >15-25 (there are around 25 people in my further class).

Lucky I'm in year 11 and will definitely learn from my mistake- which is leaving everything to the last minute. My question is, how would it affect my SAC portion of my study score (34% i think) If i get a low or average mark on the first SAC but get high marks and cohort rankings for the last 3?

This is excluding the exam which i will definitely give my best.

Well, if you have strong cohort, one SAC shouldn't ruin your chances. You teachers may also moderate your scores. Overall, the exam is what makes or breaks you in further.
