Do you have to be rank1 for sacs (coupled with a high exam score) in a particular subject in order to get 45+?? or do those at rank2 or rank3 still have a chance of pulling off a 45+??
Pretty sure you can.. I've heard of people ranked even 10 pull off a 45 or thereabouts. But yeah, decent SACs and excellent exam should do you good!
I go to MacRob, which probably changes things with ranking a little, but I was definitely not rank #1 in either of my 3/4's last year.
I was at best rank #2 in Indo (rank #1 got a 45 a there were girls who got 46-49 who were ranked below us).
I have no idea where I was ranked in Revs, but I'd say somewhere in the middle. I got the 2nd highest study score in my school (the best study score was a 47) for Revs, in a subject cohort of about 45-50 students.
