Is it true that the exam will boost up sac marks?

[tarnstud]

I've been hearing from my friend that his teacher told him that if he gets an A+ in the it-apps exam he'll get 40+ study score. Also his sac marks is at B+..and i tell him that its impossible, and he'll get 39 max.

cheers guys

Depends really.
Also depends on the school he's at. Where he's ranked in the class.
ITA sacs are worth 50% so therefore it does play a big role.
However the exam can significantly boost his sacs. Providing its a decent A+. I don't think a low A+ would do much.
Anyone have experience with this?

firstly it's study score not ENTER score. Also, as said above, it depends on his ranking. If his ranked first than he can get 50. As you go down the ranking, you need your class to perform well so that you get good SAC scores. Nothing is impossible.

The B+ is only the score that the school has submitted to VCAA. This is adjusted inter alia on the end of year exam depending on the strength of the cohort

Yeah if the rest of the class does well in the exam then the SAC scores will get dragged up.

From what I understand the school does not submit SAC grades. They only submit ranking within the moderation group (i.e., your class) and indicative exam grades.

I was ranked around 10th in my cohort (of ~40 or so). After the exam, looking through the Herald Sun list, I could only find 4 names above me from my school.

Point is, it's up to how you perform tomorrow, not your peers.


My only piece of advice at this point in time is that you've done all the study you can - get some sleep and have a hearty breakfast; for
