I think SACs matter when you're looking at high 40s.

I dunno >.<

My friend came up with this hypothesis, that because the number 1 SAC guy at our school ended up only getting low 40's, he pulled the whole cohort's SSs down. I wonder if such a notion is valid.

It's definitely true. A couple of the teachers at my school are exam markers and they've said that scores do get moderated against the person with the highest sac ranking. Obviously it would be ridiculously unfair if the top person got a C on the exam and everyone else was pushed down below his mark. But in general because internal sacs aren't standardised VCAA tends to moderate the study scores according to the performance of students in the exam - it's simply an assumption that if a high scoring student flunks the exam, the internal assessments must be too lenient.
Something like that?
Anyway, pressure's on for those top students. I'll smack them if they do badly :)
