So in a situation lets say for Chemistry,
I am ranked at Number 3 in SACS with A+ for Unit 3, and Ranked Number 2 for SACS Unit 4,
come Exam time, and U3 Exam I beat The Ranked number 2 person and ranked number 1
ranked person, and same deal for U4 Exam.

Should I be getting a higher score?

Soz, this might be a stupid question, but how do you know how you a "Ranked" in SACs?

Haha, You simply go an ask your teacher for the subject in private...
they should be able to tell you.

This might explain why your SAC's were moderated down.  Shit system IMO, but it does reward hard work throughout the whole year, and looks after those who are ranked high up.

Or you can simply work it out with the SAC marks and all, but I've heard in some cases where some teachers won't reveal SAC rankings because they believe it's "unethical".
