Can i still get a 46+ in business with my current sac marks?

CAN I STILL GET 46+?
I've had 3 SACS, got 87 for one and 83 for the other (decent study), I studied my ass for another we haven't gotten back yet, But i made a stupid error on it that i knew and its killing me inside , probably got around 90

I go to a good school that has some really hardworking kids and some kids that don't give a shit, the teachers tend to set pretty hard business SACS, e.g. for the SAC i got 87 on the class average was 23/40(roughly 60%), i got 35/40. I'm ranked equal 1 along with about 9 other people out of 40 kids
Business is easy peasy and comes naturally to me, however errors can always be made no matter how easy the course is.

Summary.. im averaging high A's, still have 3-4 SACS for Unit 4, if i get around 87-95 on these sacs and a decent A+ on the end of year(around 95%) can i still get 46 +? maybe higher?
hypothetically, whats the highest score i can get with low 80 average and low a+ (91-92%) exam, just to cure my curiosity i don't aim to get achieve low 80's

Can't answer your question, but I have a similar situation. I have similar SAC scores for Biology (80-97%), however my ranking is much worse. Approximately 10-20/70 students. Can I still get 45+? (I don't think my school is that strong because we have only had a couple low 40's in the last years)

I heard bio is really competetive so idk, i had a friend who got 95 on the exam last year and only pulled a 43(5th in year out of 40) she had an a-a+ sac average

If you can bump up those Unit 4 SAC results to 90+ and do well on the exam you should score a 45+

How did you go on your SACS and Exam last year man?

Honestly it should be made crystal clear in these forums and at every school that its not about the marks you get but the rank you are. If you have 5% frigging in your sacs but are rank 1 and you totally rip and smash the exam apart you will get 50.

To comfort you, the rank 1 for business management at my school last year had 85% and got a 49. Rank 2 got 46 with 83%.

Please:  Rank > Sac Marks

Can you please briefly explain this to my noob head and I'm sure you've heard this question many times, what happens if I'm rank 5 and get a better exam result than rank 2 or 1?

If you are rank 1 then your sac scores dont matter. Because rank 1 = hypothetical sac scores. According to VCAA rank 1s sac scores are what their exam score is.

If you are rank 5 and you do better than rank 2 or 1 then your exam score will be high however your sac marks will pull you down because sacs will be moderated down.

Pretty sure your SACS won't get moderated down, unless your cohort is really bad.

FYI dont actually know her exact score but it was most likely 92-95ish (mid a+)

I haven't read any of this thread apart from the opening post. I had similar SAC scores and ended up with 48, and I believe in you. Keep working hard.

The last line of your post (although probably facetious) was also a little concerning. ATARs are important, and probably feel very important at the moment, but they're just one of many means to an end. Your ATAR is not an end in itself.

Best of luck.

Just letting you know, 90% isn't the cutoff for an A+ in busman... it's a lot lower. Search "VCE Grade Distribution" on google, find busman and scroll down to the exam part, you'll see that last year's cutoff was around 46 from memory (70%). If you got 90% on the exam you'd be looking at 48+, no matter what your SAC scores were.

Last year, my unit 3 SAC average was around 80-85% and unit 4 was around 75% (with a solid 60% on the final SAC), I would've been around rank 20 in a cohort of 80ish. I did well on the exam and got a 47 (A+ A A+).

Anything is possible.

Hi there, are you sure this is accurate? 59/65 (90%) seems a little too low for a 48.

If, so, I think I got around 62/65 on this years. Would that classify as a 49?

Merely curious, THANKS
