Study Score Question

Hi guys, so i would like to know what type of information your school actually sends to vcaa? Do they only send your sac percentages to vcaa or do they send much more detailed information?
For my first sac i got 90% and the cohort average was roughly 63%ish. Would schools send the average to vcaa to put other scores into perspective? I am really aiming for a high 40s study score and sac marks are kinda stressing me out. I go to a fairly strong school which usually ranks in the top 10 so would my marks be generally scaled up and would u be able to tell by how much? Lastly, would being ranked in the top 5ish compared to being ranked 1 at a strong school such as MHS affect your chances of getting a 50?

Sorry if these questions are stupid, I don't really understand how the sac scaling works :(

Your school sends the raw percentage you get and MAYBE the ranking of the cohort. Your school DOES NOT do the scaling of SACs, that is done by VCAA after exams. Just smash the exam, you will do well regardless of being rank 5 or rank 1. I've heard people get like 50 or close to it when they were not even ranked in top 5 or 10 (?) but it's purely on doing really well on the exam.
