SAC Concern

Hi guys,
Recently I've felt a bit concerned with the way my methods teacher has been handling SAC marking which has been detrimental to my marks. I feel as though my teacher is marking harshly/unfairly compared to our schools 3 other 3/4 methods teachers. Not only does he refuse to give back a criteria sheet so that I can see exactly where I lost marks but also he vaguely says where I could've gone wrong without any indication on my paper. My cohort is strong but I've found that a few people who got very high in the most recent sac had received it from the same teacher, who seems to mark more leniently. Also, these same students got about 8 to 10 marks lower out of a total of 50 than me on our specialist application task. I feel concerned that there may be inconsistencies with the way the methods teachers are marking. How should I raise this issue with my teacher/the other methods teachers? How severely will my medium-highs in a strong cohort effect my study score? i.e. I've done several practice exams already and have received more than 85% on each, harshly marking each one
Cheers guys  :)

Or if you can't be checking, in short, 'DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM. DO YOUR BEST FOR YOURSELF AND WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN SACS AND EXAMS.'. (Said from pi)

I'd talk to a year level co-ordinator or deputy principal (whoever is most approachable) if i were you. I had a similar problem in my school where some people were allowed to have different SAC conditions, and i think the best solution is to just talk to people in management at your school. It would help if you talked to students too, to see how many of them share your concerns.

Thanks hahah I read through it and it's pretty good advice. However, just more concerned about SAC marking not being equal. Also, I rechecked the mark I got today and it went up to a high without any explanation :/
