my friends keep telling me it counts for almost nothing
u could get C's in ur sacs but if u nail ur exams, it brings it up so much since u take someone elses sac ranking

im sitting on 95/100 so far for sacs with 2 more sacs to come

yes, it doesn't mean much at all. 33% iirc, but it always gets scaled to exam mark so just nail the exams.

SACs account for 34% of your study score (66% from exam 1 and 2 [22% + 44%])
The process may not be as easy as doing very bad in the SACs (E's..) and nailing the exam (A+) and simply stealing a higher SAC rank from another class member. It is weighted depending on how well you do on the exam. So yes it is important to do well on the SACs but it is more important to do better on the exam

^ It's true that you can do 'okay' in your SACs and still do amazing overall.
My SAC average is not that high (for the score i'm aiming for) but it doesn't matter as if i absolutely smash the exams (only lose a few marks overall) then getting a top score is very possible regardless of my SAC marks.
