Worried about SAC... Help!!

[nerdykitty28]

So I did my first Specialist SAC about 3 weeks ago and we got the results back last week. I did very poorly in this SAC (43%, I was about 3 marks of a 50% ) and I am really worried about how this will affect my overall study score. I know where I went wrong and where I need to improve so if I were to do really well in my other SACs and the end of year exam, would I still have the chance to do well at Spesh? I am aiming for a raw score of at least 35.

What matters isn't your overall SAC marks, but how high you sit in the cohort - the higher the better, but if the cohort is really strong, then it wouldn't matter if you're even the last in the class, and you could still get a 40+.

If this has put you behind everyone else, and your cohort isn't very strong, don't worry - in my first specialist SAC, I came dead last. By the end of the year, I was second to first in the rankings, and did get that score "of at least 35".

You can still pull through.
