Is It Still Possible to Get Over a 45+ In Bio?

Hi,
I recently got back my final SAC for unit 3 and it wasn't that great.
 
First SAC : 50/50
Second SAC : 19/20
Third SAC 16/30 -> This was my bad result 86% :'(

So 95/100? I don't know what they scaled to either. I don't know my rank, but i would think I would have been in the top 5, and my cohort is average to below average with only a few really high achievers.

So I know that it is still a decent score, but I am worried how it will affect my rank and study score. I am not 100% sure how it works and I know most of it
 is from the exam score but I am still a bit worried. I also don't know what my rank may be, and I wonder if I can go back to the top for unit 4 SACs, i really don't know how it works. So is it still possible to get over a 45 or even a 50?
Thanks

Ranks will reset in Unit 4, and you may still get a great score for Unit 3. 45+ is still possible, try as best you can.
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️

Hi Geoo, soz for the late reply, but it is definitely possible to get 45+ with those SAC scores as long as you smash out the end of year exam. One of my SACs for bio was 85% and the other I think was 86% (I think my overall average for both units was either high 80s or 90) and I highly doubt I was ranked in top 5 of my cohort (even though it was select entry) but since I did really well in the exam I got 50 in the end. So don't give up hope!
