I've done 2 SACs:

#1 : 35/40
#2:  32/39

At this rate does this mean i got no chance of getting 40+ for my Psychology score? :(

How are the scores calculated exactly? From what i know Psychology is very competitive therefore losing 1 or 2 marks will also affect your study score heaps.

On the exam, but not in SACs. Work to get a good ranking in your cohort, then a good exam score.

All depends on your rank. If heaps of people have higher scores than you in sacs then that's not a good sign and it'll definitely lower your score. Just try to make up for it in the next sacs by studying + working harder. Either that, or smash both exams and you'll overcome a crappy sac ranking. Depends on the school you go to as well, if it's a really good school that always gets high scores your moderated sac score will probably be A+ anyway.

Don't worry about 1+2 Psych. Research methods is pretty simple, + noone pays attention in 1+2 Psych :P

Yes, our school does reduce the mark to 25

therefore:

#1: 22/25
#2: 21/25

Well done Dr Lector, and ATAR from the amount of work it seems you put in i think you will be fine, probably not you who brought the class average down, I have another SAC not this tuesday.. the next, this time short answer on chapters 4 and 5.. i think that will be much harder than the previous SAC.
