Legal Studies SAC Scores and Scaling?

 :D So I've been getting MOSTLY 100% on my SACs, but I have lost a couple of mark here or there (4 marks so far)
We are into the 4th Unit now and my marks were 96/100 for Unit 3 and 100% for my first SAC on Unit 4, assuming I keep similar marks and do well on the exam, what kind of study score am I looking at? And how much will ranking affect my score?

I am not rank 1 in my class, probably about 4 or 5, as a couple of people have gotten 100% for every SAC.
I heard that they might get marked down and I might get marked up? How does that work?

Thanks for helping out  ;D ;D ;D

It is the SAC rank that counts, not the marks. This is because some schools may set easier SACs than other schools.

If your cohort does well (namely, the people ranked above you) then your grades will be pushed up and vice versa. Legal is 50% exam so if you do really well on it then there's no reason not to expect a high SS.

VCAA determines scaling based on how the entire Legal cohort fares. Usually the scaling is -1.
