Ranking: 1st
SAC: 98%
Exam 1: 38/40
Exam 2: 59/60

Can I still get a 50 with these scores? I think rank 2 and 3 did well on the exam, similar to me if not better. I'm in a decent cohort.

Thanks

Technically ANY study score is " possible" since it is how you do compared to others  (and we still dont have info on how the rest of the state went). However, by looking at scores from previous years, if your marking of your own exams are accurate your chance of getting a 50 is very low. I would normally say dropping 1 mark is the max for a 50. Dropping 3 will get you  a study score closer to 46-48.

Hey, can't remember what I got but I'm pretty sure I full marked exam one and dropped 1-2 marks in exam 2 with a lower SAC average (~95%) and got a 50 last year. Not a premiers but still there's a shot. But I never worried about my study score I sort of just hoped for the best. Best of luck :)
