Same here, I want to ace all my SACs - I'm not going to rely on my cohort. My cohort this year isn't that good - we have like 6 or 7 students who are good and that's about it. We only have ~25 students doing Legal next year.
The highest score this year from my school was 43, no one at my school got above 45 for Legal (I don't think).

Rank 1 ftw! I think we can all do good on the exam, i realised a lot of things from doing a year 12 in year 11, mistakes i will not make again.

Yeah, 98/100 and 99/100 for my SACs, second in the cohort, but got the highest study score. I've ordered my SoM, I'll let you know how many marks I lost on the exam for a 45.

Ditto. I was like in the top 5 students in our year level - though that's not saying much. In my school we get the not so bright kids for Legal. Legal 3/4 is like Legal 1/2, most of the concepts/ideas are repeated. Best of luck!

That would be great! =)
I suppose there isn't much difference in terms of grades to get 45~50 for Legal.

I didn't learn the Mabo case and didnt use it in the exam and still did ok.
You guys should aim for 50's all around.
Just a few tips:
-Dont get hung up on SAC's. Sure they are important to get rank 1 in if you go to a disadvanaged school and for glory but its not essential to 100% every SAC. I ended up on rank 1 with ~90/100 for Unit 3 and 94/100 for Unit 4. It obviously comes down to exams as my scores must have been mopderated up because if they hadnt i wouldnt have gotten a 49. And yes I did go to a crappy public school whose median SS was 28 in 2009. It goes to show that school shouldnt impact you.
-Knowing the course is great but if you cant answer the question in the way the examiner wants you are in big trouble. For example in one of this years questions I accidently stuffed up the age brackets for fingerprinting, but all was not lost. You have got to interpret the question in a way that allows you to show great depth. People say that case examples are essential to set you above the rest but I can honestly say I did not use a case for every question. Probably only 3-4 at most.
-One of the worst things in legal is TIME!!!! I had a tendency to spend forever on shorter questions and then be strpped for time in the last few. This is the absolute wrong thing to do. Spread your time according to the weighting of the question.
I'm definately available to help you guys out next year and these holidays so pm or email me or contact me in whatever way possible (if you call me that would be creepy and i probably wouldnt help you then :D ). Also Ive ordered a statement of marks for legal to find out exactly what I got in the exam.
Once I get my sh*t together I will start advertising tutoring also if anyone is interested.
eeps:
One word... LEGEND.
Thanks for the advice/tips andy456 and congrats on the Legal score! xD
