you don't depend on anyone's exam mark except your own when it comes to getting your study score./

No if you're rank 1 and get the 10th best exam mark, then whoever is rank 10 will get your exam mark as their SAC mark. It will not affect anyone else (besides yourself)

It don't think it works exactly like that but that's the general gist of it.

no. you're exam mark is your own. VCAA simply adjusts the Sac marks of your entire cohort depending on how rank #1 did on the exam.
So if rank #1 screws it, s/he brings everyone down with them.
