our recent data analysis sac was out of 40 marks, where i know i dropped at least 3 from a careless rounding error. like the title says, do i still have a chance at a good study score

I think you should. I dropped way more than 3 marks throughout my SAC's (ended up with 48 because I dropped 2 marks on the exam).

If you maintain a high rank and your cohort is strong your SAC scores will probably still get moderated up

Yeah it is still possible but you need to maintain a very high rank in your cohort and basically full mark both exams (maybe drop 1 mark) if you want a 50.

It's probably unlikely to be a 50, but as long as you ace both exams you're set up for a high 40s.

depends on the school. For some schools only rank 1 would be considered high in others it might be rank 1-15 are high ranks.

A lot of factors taken into consideration, but if your school has a strong further cohort then you should be able to pull it off.
