Are the sac scores you need for a particular study score before or after moderation?
The SAC marks and corresponding grades on the VCAA website are after moderation.
The raw marks aren't relevant for study scores, only the rank and corresponding moderated score

If the average study score for methods is a raw 30, but my school's average study score is a raw 34, does that mean that it will be easier for me to get a 35 raw in my school than if i was in a school where the average study score is a raw 30?
Would 35 raw need 30/40 and 50/80 on the exams?
Thanks

If your cohort has a higher average than another school it doesn't mean you'll get a higher study score. But if you're the median rank of your school you're more likely to get a higher study score than the median rank of a school with a lower average. As for the marks needed for a 35, its difficult to say, I'd suggest you not become obsessed with the marks you need and instead just focus on doing the best you can do. While its nice to speculate and try to set yourself goals, it shouldn't be the mindset you approach your exams with.
