So if you get the highest exam score you automatically get the highest sac score :)

Actually, if you get the highest exam score you DON'T automatically get the highest sac score. Your sac score will be based around your cohort ranking. If you are rank 1, then your exam score (if the highest) becomes your sac score. However, if you are not rank 1, then you get another person's exam score as your sac score.

So basically, SACs DO MATTER!!

I think you are not completely aware of the SAC moderation process. The reason I say this is because many people in my methods cohort last year were ranked somewhere close to the middle (in a large cohort of about 200), but achieved very high SAC marks (high 90's / 100) when ordering the Statement of Study Score. If the rank 1 = highest exam score process worked, I doubt the 60th highest exam score was moderated to high 90's/100 if you get what I mean.

After reading a lot of the VCAA regulations, I think that there is a further moderation process, which may potentially increase your SAC mark further. I sure hope there is, because my SAC marks for some subjects have not been ideal..

what i was trying to say is that you don't need to be number 1 in sacs, and that you should focus on your unit 3 exams as opposed to your upcoming sacs.

And i'm pretty sure that your sacs score do not moderate your exam score it just means that a higher exam scorer will have a higher sac mark in your cohort. For example

Student 1 gets 100% on unit 3 sacs and 85/90 on exam
Student 2 gets 90% on unit 3 sacs and 87/90

Then student 2 will be achieve the higher study score, because his exam score will reflect on his sac scores

You will achieve an A if you do well in your exam.
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

They say not to use ANY abbreviations unless absolutely necessary. The only acceptable one is "Acc. Dep'n" for Accumulated Depreciation and this is backed up by what is said in the 2007 Assessor's Report. The reason why they talked about it in that report is one of the questions had 'Accumulated Depreciation of Shop Fittings' which is absolutely ridiculous to fit into the details in the General Journal.

But if you're not sure, I'd write out the whole term just to be on the safe side.

I can back this up, went to the VU lecture that neville box spoke at he said if you can't fit it abbreviate but never abbreviate in a profit and loss stmt because they give you the room to write the whole title

my teacher said dont abbreviate in reports
but its ok do abbreviate in records. as long as its not overly exaggerated.. eg. GC for GST Clearing is NOT acceptable

If you can manage a 45+ with 6, then hopefully I can manage the same with 12..

You will achieve an A if you do well in your exam.

You can still get an A+, and smash your exam and you can get an awesome study score :)

Good luck tomorrow :)

Have started work on preparing a detailed plan for students that want to get ahead in Unit 4. If you follow it, you should be able to complete Unit 4 in a week :)

Looking for forward to the plan. Thinking about completeing Unit 4 by myself over the holidays and just do practice exams over Term 3 and 4. I was really underprepared for the exam, only starting reivision 3 days before the exam. Still hoping for an A+ though. If I can smash the end of year exam, maybe I get can get ss 45+
