SAC1 AOS 1: 90%
SAC2 AOS2: 96%
SAC3: still need to do
SAC4: still need to do

Im currently ranked #4

Thanks

Here's my stats
U3 AOS 1: 100%
U3 AOS 2: 99%
U4 AOS 1: 98%
U4 AOS 2: 100%
Rank #1
Raw 46
It is definitely doable, as long as you score a strong A+ in the final exam, to do this start exam revision early and preparing for those extended response questions.

Yes it is possible but raw sac scores dont really have much relevance. Your sac ranking is much more important and scoring a mid-high A+ on the exam is vital to get a 45+ study score.

So last year an A+ for HHD was 69% (refer to https://atarnotes.com/forum/index.php?topic=191582.0 for a detailed analysis of the 2019 examiner report).
This is because the HHD exam is marked quite meticulously which is not reflected in SACs (and the presence of higher mark extended response questions, including one 8-10 mark question).
I would believe that only a small pool of students would score 90% in the final exam, so yes a 90% will get you a 45+.
It is important to know, that despite having a 90 average in SACs does not guarantee a 90% in the final exam.
Therefore, it is important to be aware that a score of 90+ is quite difficult, and even scoring in the 80s can you get you into the 40s.

Awesome!
At the moment I'd say i will be finished with all the content in the next 30 or so days, so it leaves me a decent amount of time (roughly 60 days) . How's biomed btw?

And for the record, back when I did it, I had lower SAC marks than this (probably 95% average), though still Rank 1, and ended up with a 50.  As above, raw SAC marks mean fairly little.
