There were my marks (weak cohort, rank 2/125)
Unit 3: 92/100
Unit 4: 94/100
A A+ A+ 43 (raw)

Like everyone has said 90% is a great score, and as long as you have a solid rank you will be fine. Just be sure to do well on  the exam

that's so cool (and you're studying my dream course!) i had unit 3: 92/100 and unit 4: 94/100 as well!!
VERY strong cohort, maybe rank ~10/60. we had about 8-10 students get 40+. not sure of the exact number. i lowkey flopped the exam though due to family stuff so A+, A+, A+, i can only assume all low A+

I'm in Year 11 and doing Psych 3/4. We just had our first SAC and I received a score of 90%. I was really hoping to do a lot better, so I will definitely study more for the rest of the SACs.

My question is: will this decrease my chance of a study score of 40+? I'm not sure what SAC marks I should be receiving in order to culminate in a 40+ at the end, so I'm just worried that 90% isn't enough.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated <3

firstly, a 90 is great! you can definitely improve your average as unit 3 is composed of 2 SACS I think. for my class, we did our nervous system and stress SACS separately and the average of that will act as our first score and then we did the learning + memory sac as one whole thing.  I think it depends on how many SACS your school does because that means you have more chances to redeem yourself in terms of average.

An A+ for psychology is a 94 so I think you can definitely get an A+ average if you push yourself in other SACS. you've set up a good base for yourself by scoring a 90 so there really is not much pressure on you to do good. As everyone else says, the exam is super important + ranking and scaling so make sure you try and stay high up in your cohort! At the end of the day, the exam acts as a moderator so as long as you smash it, that 40+ SS should be within reach!!
