anyways...

how are SACs standardised? my teachers are all noobs (most prob first year graduates...) so, um........

that is all =D

Eriny:
They look at the exam results of your cohort and go from there. If the top exam mark, for example, is two standard deviations from the mean, the top SAC mark will also be two s.d.'s from the mean. Also, if you're given the 3rd highest SAC score, the 3rd highest exam score will be roughly equivilant to your SAC score. They also use the GAT as well in moderation.

I hope that makes sense.

costargh:
Does that mean that if you don't get the highest SAC mark then you cant get a higher study score than the person with no.1  on SAC's?

yep, unless there are significant differences in what you get in the exam

Eriny:
Technically you can't, but I've heard of people who aren't ranked first getting 50's. You'd have to be in a pretty smart cohort for that to happen though.
