The average cohort SAC result is what you get
No, not really, if you look the example above, your final SAC mark is the exam score of the student who achieved the exam rank equivalent to your SAC rank

the exam is the same all around Vic therefore it shows true smartness
True, that is why SACs are standardised to the exams

So if you get straight 90s in SACs and 50 in exams, the SACs were obviously easy compaired to other schools.
Again, your SAC score does not matter, it is the SAC rank. 90 could be the lowest score in your cohort, which in that case, you could say the SACS were 'easy', on the other hand, 90 could be the highest score in your cohort, which implies that you individually found the SACs easier, but overall cohort performance will also depend on the distribution of other students' SAC scores.

Not entirely, by doing SACs you are given a rank within your cohort. As a "reward", whoever from your cohort gets the highest exam mark, you will adopt this mark as your SAC mark, while also keeping your exam mark as your exam mark.

So if you get straight 90s in SACs and 50 in exams, the SACs were obviously easy compaired to other schools.
That is exactly right.

UMAT: 69 | 56 | 82 | = [69 / 98th Percentile]

I didn't want to start a new topic so thought I'd just post here :) Anyway I saw this thing on the net about, like what's more important, actual sac percentage scores or ranking in class? and someone posted this:

"Your mark in SACS means ****, your ranking is what counts i.e how many people at your school you pwn in a given SAC. Though in the end they really don't mean anything, throughout the year in spesh I had a C+ or so average and was in the middle of the class. I ended up gunning the exam and topping the class with a raw 45"

is that possible? :-\ but then how do SAC scores on the results letter come up as grades (e.g. A+,A,B) sorry if this was asked before! =/
thanks
