may i ask how hard is it to get a 30 study score in lit? as people at my school say it's really hard but it's only a 30.. as in an avg. can't be that much of a difficult task

Well, it really depends on your ability i guess. It depends how strong your class is and where you are ranked and how well you perform on the exam. And you're right, the average study score is 30. If you look at the grade distribution, for semester 1 and 2 sacs the median mark was a B+ and for the exam it was a B, so if you got roughly around these marks you would be looking at about a 30.
Here is the grade sistribution for last year to give you an idea of what sort of numerical marks correspond to each letter grade (remember that the scores are doubled).

Yes that is true. It can be seen that Sophocles is contrasting the two sisters. We have Antigone, who is defiant and fighting for what she believes in, ignoring her "place" (she is a woman and considering the historical context of the play this would have been extremely controversial at the time) and following divine law. Then on the other hand we have Ismene, who subordinates herself to Creon's mortal law, and does not wish to act out of her place for fear of punishment.

thanks for the link! i just added my whole year's score and i'm only sitting on a high B.
well yeah maybe obtaining a 30 would be difficult as our school's lit proformance is shocking
as half of the class barely pass and no one has ever gotten a A+ before.. :/

Try not to let that bother you. Just do your absolute best on the exam and your study score shouldn't suffer too much. If your class lifts for the exam, you may find your sacs get moderated up, so they are higher.
