What kind of marks would you be looking at and how hard is it?
Don't worry about scores that you can't change  because there are so many more productive things you could do

hey i got a 41 !!!
to get a 41 heres what u should do
aim to break the A+ barrier in everything you do. you dont need full marks, as long as whatever you do is an A+. aim for a mid A+ so u can drop a few marks and get a low A+ but thats basically how it goes. most likely youll get 41+ with all A+
i got marks on the A+ cut off for 1 unit sacs and the exam and i got 41 and i got a few marks above the cut off for unit 4 so yeah
its not super hard but just make sure you stay on top of the work and dont treat the subject like a joke

good luck come to atarnotes if u need anything

It's not hard but you have to put in consistent effort and don't expect to cram everything in.

SAC marks are tricky because of scaling. I was generally getting marks in about the 80's but I also got a bit lower and a lot higher. Not all of your assessments will be the same difficulty and it's really hard to predict how they will scale. My results were unit 3:A unit 4:A+ exam:A+

Basically, to do well you need to enjoy psych and keep up with your notes.

Last year, there were a couple of really weird questions on content I hadn't covered and I didn't think I had done that well but it worked out in the end. You just have to prepare yourself because while a lot of the content will seem easy, you won't necessarily know the answer to everything.

It's not hard to get a 41 but you have to do consistently okay at school in terms of your SAC. What really counts is the exam - I'm not even kidding. Just be on top of your work and don't be all like "I'll write notes on it later *2 weeks later*). As long as you're on top and you have enough motivation to actually study for Psych, you should be fine.
