A High SAC mark will get moderated DOWN - Crap School?

If I have 99.5/100 in sacs but the rest of the class is at below 70% and they all receive around C to C+ in exams and I receive top marks in the exam (high A+'s) will my SAC marks be moderated down to keep up with the class??? Like from 99.5/100 down to 90/100??

I was speaking to someone and they said this...surprising because I also heard people who go to top schools and the average is very high in SACs (A+'s) then they get scaled up or something around that...

Helpp!!

I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who show a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, this is still the common denominator that separates those who live their dreams to those who live in regret.

If you are top ranked in the subject for coursework, you won't be affected by the rest of your class.

No, you'll get what you deserve. Your SAC marks will roughly correspond to your exam marks.

Someone else most likely helped you out with a nice little exam score.

http://freestudynotes.com/VCEforum/viewtopic.php?p=12582#12582

Note that it's slightly different in this case with the 25% SACs (GA1), 50% performance (GA2 - I think), 25% Aural/Written exam (GA3 - I think) weighting. If you got A+ A+ C+, that means you scored an A+ in one of those exams which may explain the high SAC score.

Oh and Mystery, what the others have said is right. Only 3 of my IPM class of 25ish last year scored 40+... it's fine if you're ranked highly.
