hi there!
i received: 97%, 87%, 89%, 100%, 93% on my sacs throughout psychology, and walked away with a 43. in short - absolutely! 90% is not bad at all. the biggest thing in psych (and any vce subject, due to moderation) is the exam. you got this <3

Although they might be beneficial, I think it is important that students are aware of the fact that unless they put in the effort, their results will not improve. If you feel a tutor might help you, then go ahead, but please don't feel pressured to get a tutor. I did not have a tutor for psych, and if I ever needed feedback, I would clarify with my teacher. This was sufficient for me, coupled with my self-reflection techniques. I don't mean to degrade the quality of tutoring, I definitely agree that for some, tutoring is an option that allows them to grow and learn better, but it is not something that you need to do well. Ultimately, if you put in the effort, you can succeed and do well.

In an ideal world all teachers know Psych back to front keeping students on a level playing field.  :P

Not as high as whys' 50, but I got 47 in psych and also didn't have a tutor.

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

Welcome to the forums! :)

As everyone else said, yes absolutely - do NOT give up now :)

Although unlikely, strictly speaking you could get 60% on every psych SAC and get a 50. Doing well on SACs is important but the process isn't as straight forward as avg SAC score -> GA score. There's more info in the technical score discussion if you're interested (warning: can get a bit complex) but the basic answer is that this score might not have reduced your shot at a 40+ at all :)

hey just wanted to say that i was doing well in my psych sacs but then one of them i got a 60 and i am scared that my whole average would go down. This is because our class average was 73. So i am scared that it would put me down. I have 2 more sac's left can i still do better and improve on my scores?.

One of my cousin's friends did psychology, she averaged 80's and got a study score low 30's. My advice is to try and push it above class average (I mean well above, like 90+). Psychology is competitive especially if you want top scores.
