I see. Say for Methods you have an ok ranking say 4-5th, but you blitz the exam, is a 50 or a 45+ grade still possible?

Of course, I had a SAC ranking of somewhere between 5th and 10th and ended up with equal 2nd highest study score.
Yay thanks for giving people hope! Your methods score is really really really good, I would dream of getting it :P But do you go to a high-performing school? I lose hope because my school ain't that great.. :(

SAC's dont mean too much

i was on 175/200 for History a subject where SAC's supposed to make up 50%

I was ranked outside the top ten and managed the highest study score in my cohort with 44

I regret not putting more into my SACs lol

I lost a bunch of marks on my last spesh sac giving me a sac mark of 94/100. However I was still rank 1 and so losing only half a mark on the exams gave me a 50.

For methods, the only guy in my class who got a 50 was ranked about 6th-7th in sacs. Pretty much it all depends on how well you do in the exam that determines if you get a 50
