I haven't dropped a mark yet;

SAC 1: 25/25
SAC 2: 50/50
SAC 3: 25/25

But this does not automatically mean I will get a amazing result. Strong marks in Unit 4 and the exam ultimately are needed. I'm lucky in a sense that my school is infront of my friends schools and is already powering through AOS1, unit 4. Hoping for a good result overall this year however.

My schools cohort is quite mixed to be honest. There are alot of people sitting on 70%- 80% and one other person on high 90's. Unit 4 is harder in my opinion to do so well in, for the simple fact that there are only 2 SAC's and therefore more chances to make little mistakes along the way.

Thats true becuase there are less chances to make up for mistakes made in unit 4! But if your doing so well in unit 3 there is no reason unit 4 won't be the same with the same level of work!

Only 3 more SAC's until the exam for me :S

Have been dismal this year, really disappointed with Unit 3 considering I want a 40.

AOS 1: 17/25
AOS 2: 24/25 & 19/25 = 43/50
AOS 3: Haven't completed.

Due to exam week, we've been screwed over a bit in regards to time. Out of the three SACs we had, the first one was just a careless brain fart, whereas the third one had me studying for things which I didn't need. I base all my study notes off the study design (It's my gospel), which is complimented by my teacher's content reminder before each SAC. Long story short, I assumed it was the same as the study design but worded differently (as is usually the case for both his Legal and Business SAC notifications), and he required us to remember a couple of cases covered in part one of the outcome.  :-[

I feel really confident about this next area of study and truly believe I can achieve full marks.

Best case scenario is a 85/100. Not much you can do about that, just going to try my hardest in Unit 4 and hopefully get 185/200  ;D

It's not the end the world if you haven't achieved the marks you desired in Unit 3 (those marks are actually good)

As you said just try harder in unit 4!

I hope you do achieve full marks in AOS 3  :)

Sac 1: 28/30 (Second highest in my cohort)
Sac 2: 19/22
Sac 3: 18/20 (Equal highest mark for this sac)

In total I've only dropped 7 marks

Am I on track for 40 so far?

I'm ranked about 3rd or 4th in my cohort.

Well done your doing well so far, i think your ranking is more important your actual mark.

With a high ranking and an a+ on the exam you should get over 40!

Thanks.

Last year's paper was out of 70. What was the A+ cutoff exactly if you know?

Over 60.5 was an A+ last year

Over 55 was an A

So it isn't overly hard to get an A+!

Unit 3 - 91/100

I'm fairly pleased, ranked about 3rd or 4th but I've been lazy and haven't been putting in as much effort! Will definitely try harder in Unit 4!

Got my last SAC back! Lost a mark, so now I'm on 98/100 for this unit.

I think our teacher said we can email her about rankings, but I'm not sure I want to know after all.  :-\

Either way, Unit 4 soon! :D

Last year was the first year of the new study design for VCE Legal Studies. The main difference from the previous study design is the 10-mark question in the exam. In previous years, there was the option of either 'A' or 'B' (Unit 3 or Unit 4 based question) - however, VCAA got rid of that. Now, there is only one question which can come from Unit 3, Unit 4 or be a combination of both units (as was last year's). Unit 4 is more applicable to what the law actually is. Good luck for Unit 4.

Well done - you seem to be going very well. You are lucky your school gives you your exact mark! Our school only gives us a 'range' for VCE Year 12 subjects. We don't get to find out our exact scores, but our work gets put in a range: Excellent, very good, good, satisfactory and low.

So far, for legal studies, I have been placed in the 'Excellent' range for every single SAC. So, I'm hoping that's a good sign! I'm looking forward to Unit 4 as it is definitely more my area of strength.

Good luck for Unit 4 everyone!
