How hard is it to get a 40+ raw study score in physics?
Thanks ;D

generally, mostly A+s (with the occasional A allowed if you get high A+s).

then again, it's mostly the exam that matters ;)

I'm not sure about the strength of my cohort but I flunked my first SAC (73%), ended up with a B+ for my Unit 3 SACS (scaled) at the end of the year (and an A+ for Unit 4), did pretty well on the exam (I did lose a fair few marks, mind you) and got 40+ raw for physics.

So I'd say - don't panic about SACs, keep as high an average as you can (don't stress too much over maintaining straight A+s) and come exam time, work hard!

Best of luck :)

Yeah, I have this new found awesomeness is physics (that sadly didn't affect my earlier SACs). What kind of exam mark would I need for a 40+ if I'm in the top 3 students in my class (I don't know exactly). These my SACs:

Motion: 60% something, I was like 8th in the class maybe
EPI: Equal first (Can't remember score, something like 90%)
Electronics: 80% (Second in class, this is when I started to get some confidence)
Electric Power: 94% (Just got my result today, and though "Maybe Physics can be my 45+ subject". I really need one!

If I continue on this path, where will I end up? Is 45+ achievable? What kind of exam mark would I need?

Thank you everyone!
