Screwed year 12?

Sigh. Been getting back disappointing scores for my subjects, here's a nutshell:
Psychology: 35/40 (sad that it was a really easy SAC as well)
English: 25/30
Biology: Only SACs I'm happy with, 24/25, 24.5/25
Methods: Somewhere between 50-75% I'm guessing? Screwed it up big time. Grrrr I don't even think copious amounts of study would have prepared me for that
Chenistry: Haven't got back SAC, most likely not 100%

Is it still possible to achieve a study score of above 40 with these SAC marks? I go to an average-performing school with small cohorts (except for English and psych). Year 12 is really starting to stress me out :(

Yes since exams are the primary factor in determining your study score. SACs are trivial in comparison.
2009
~ Methods (Non-CAS) [48 --> 49.4]

2010
~ Spesh [50 --> 51.6]
~ Physics [50 --> 50]
~ Chem [43 --> 46.5]
~ English [46 --> 46.2]
~ UMEP Maths [5.0]

2010 ATAR: 99.90
Aggregate 206.8

I hope so. I know people who go well in their SACs, A+ on their exams but their SAC marks are moderated to an A. Sucks even though they've done the hard work!

How strong is your cohort?

You'll be fine. Year 12 is not "screwed" because you lost a few marks in one SAC out of many SACs for a subject.

Man i wish i went to your school...

You'll be fine!

Those marks are still pretty good, im sure some people at your school would kill for them.

Remember also, its not the sac marks that count but your rank out of the cohort.

I'm sure you'll do awesomely well.

True! Haha do you go to a school where everyone is pressured to perform really well? That's got to be really stressful! And thanks, I hope I'll do well :)

 How is everyone else coping with year 12?
