Worried..

I am worried about the study score that I will get at the end of the year for Psychology. I want to get a study score of atleast 37-40, and with my marks, I'm not sure.

For my SACs, I am averaging about an 83%. With my mid-year I got a B (kicking myself for it).

Now, I am going to try hard for my end year exam and hope to achieve an A or an A+. If I get a good mark like that in my end year exam or I get good marks on my SACs, should I make it up to get a study score of around or above 40?

To be brutally honest 40+ is practically impossible. Aim for a high A+ on the end of year and you could get a 38 possibly. Sorry I didn't have better news for you but it's better you know now then getting your hopes up for nothing.. 38 is still a very good score, although that score will require a lot of work to get as well.

Thanks :) The truth beats a bunch of spoon-fed false information!

I was in the same position, similar SAC average and midyear mark. I got a very high A+ on the end of year exam for a 37. Make of that what you will :)

Ahhhk. Hopefully I get a 37 then, ahaha.

The VCE system is a lot harsher than I thought x.x
