Rank 2 situation

[pha0015]

I'm in a ridiculously weak cohort (school ranking used to be around 350 until lat year where it jumped to 200-ish) in Psych. I'm currently ranked 2 with average of 94% (just missed cutoffs), in which rank 1 is at 98%. Is there any way to get a better study score than rank 1? Keep in mind that rank 1 did an advanced study last year for legal studies and got a 46 study score. If not, is there a chance that I'll get 40+ study score, or even 45+?

I wouldn't be worried about beating someone else (although can be good motivation), just try to get the best possible study score for yourself! 
I'm just saying your success is not dependent on whether you get a study score higher than your peer.

Since you are rank 2 and rank 1 has shown he is a strong student I wouldn't be too worried, you are definitely still in contention for a extremely high score if you do well on your exam.

...........and yes it isn't too uncommon for rank 2 to get a higher score than rank 1

Good Luck!!!

Regarding ranking- I think we can all agree that they suck alotAC markd!!0
However, I'm actually in exactly the same position as you, same subject also!!!. I had a major stiff up on SAC 2 in which I completely refused to study. Now I regret that because I dropped to rank 2!!!!.

But what keeps me going is this: I do text and traditions this year, and my teacher was telling me that last year(for TT) rank 1 got a SS of 35 and rank 2 got a massive 43!!!! So it is definitely possible [however I still feel furious at the fact that if you do get the highest SS, rank one gets those awesome marks as their SAC marks!!]

For psychology the exam is worth 60% and that is not affected by your ranking, so yes, it is definitely possible!
