How hard is it to get above 40 SS!?

[Teba]

Hey guys!
I am doing Spesh, methods, Chemistry and English this year and I was just wondering how much work do I have to do in order to get a high study score. How many hours per subject?
Do I have to always be ahead of my class??
Do I have to always ace my sacs??

Thank u!!

Although you would like a nice answer to those questions, there unfortunately isn't one. I was lucky enough to score 40+ raw in all of those subjects, and how I studied would be completely different to the next guy who achieved the same 'feat', and then different still to the next person, etc.

You've really got to try your best, that's the secret. Don't get caught up in a 'bad' score (whatever that means to you), don't get caught up in class rankings, don't get caught up with the one kid who finished the course in year 4 and feels the need to let everyone know every minute they're awake. Just do the work at a pace you deem appropriate (I'd personally refrain from falling behind or studying too far ahead, but up to you), strive to improve at everything, and somewhat arrogantly back yourself to perform on the big stage. You don't always have to ace every assessment, you just have to do well enough.

Funnily enough this is pretty much most people in my spesh cohort, hahaha.
