stuffing up sacs but doing well on exams

[vce01]

so, some people might say its not possible but lets just say if it was...say you average C's for your sacs in the year, not very well ranked in school, around the middle of the bottom half maybe. but then you score an A+ on your exam. how does VCAA calculate the SS in these situations? do the sacs get moderated to an A+? and what kind of SS do these people get?

Based on what I've noticed: No, the SACs won't get moderated to an A+, however they will rise. It's unlikely they will get a score over 40, also.

Note that I have a severe lack of evidence here.

If you do something like literally ace the exam it could happen though.

I got B+ A A+ for my graded assessments in one of my subjects (with 1 exam)

If you are ranked 17th in Sacs, you will get the 17th best Exam score, that is why our teachers always tell us to work together, to ensure that all scores get marked up, and are good. I'm pretty sure

how can that be right? that means it almost doesnt matter how you do in exams because your mark will be determined by your ranking.

lol, so you may not be right? :p hope not cuz im hoping you can still get 40+ even with crappy sac scores.
i dunno if this is true, but from what ive read, it goes like this...if you get the 2nd best mark for the exam in your school, your sacs get moderated to the second best one in the school. is this correct?

Your EXAM mark stays the same no matter what. Your ranking in SAC's means a little. In this example, if your 17th best in SAC's, your SAC mark will be moderated to the 17th best EXAM mark, or close to it. That's what I believe it is.

is this just in your class, or everyone doing the same subject at your school?

I believe it's the whole cohort. Which is all of the students doing that subject in your school.

its about the ranking. it is possible that you still ranked fairly high with those scores.

that is true for the SAC component of your SS, it is indicative of your performance for the year. To the best of my knowledge, two things are constant in your assessments: your exam score, and your SAC ranking.
