Fail all sacs + ace exam =????

Hypothetically, what would happen if someone were to fail or miss all their sacs for a subject, then turn up on exam day and get an A+? What would their study score be? (I'm not asking about me by the way I'm not that bad haha)

if you were to fail/miss all your sacs you wouldn't pass that subject.
you need to have an S for the units 3 and 4 to be able to pass the subject..

but if you mean, getting all low grades and not actually failing (since you can't technically fail aslong as you sit the sacs) such as all low D's and then all A+ for exam, your study score would be somewhere around 30 probably.

Depends on your cohort. If your cohort is so amazing that even the worst exam score is an A+ and you 100% the exam I think by some strange twist you could get high 40s, even 50, because your SAC mark would be moderated to high hell.

Oh and you'd screw the rest of your class up big time

What if hypothetically you get 50% in your SACs in a weak cohort, but you get A+ in the exams? (And the rest of your cohort performs badly)

Then your pretty much screwed as your sac mark, presuming your bottom ranked in SACs, will be calculated from the bottom exam mark, which would be < 'D' if the cohort performed "badly". But then again SAC mark can be moderated if Exam score is incredible and SAC score is shithouse! (I think)
