What SAC scores should I aim for?

Hey AN,
I just wanted an idea as to what SAC scores I should be aiming for the following study scores.
My classes are as follows;
English - 41 ss
Further -  40 ss
Methods - 33 ss
Revs - 40 ss
Business management - 31 ss

All study scores are raw.
Thanks so much,

Bri MT

Your SAC scores %s don't actually matter that much to VCAA - what's important for the calculation they do is:
a) you well you score on your SACs compared to your cohort (people studying that subject at your school)
b) how your cohort performs on the exam


Because we don't know how hard your school's SACs are it's hard to tell you what to aim for. As un-useful as this may be, I'd encourage you to do your best and focus on improvement rather than an arbitrary percentage


Good luck! :)

I definitely agree with miniturtle. I also would like to reinforce that there is no way to talk about sac percentages since we don't know your cohort strength/difficulty of sacs etc

I am not a huge fan of aiming for a certain percentages- If you put your best effort in there is not much else you can do and you will put yourself in the best position to do well.

However, I do think it's useful to know what sort of percentages would translate to a study score to get a gauge in how you are going.
