Moderation of English Sac Scores

In the hypothetical situation in which I receive scores of :
Unit 3: 92%  A+
Unit 4: 88%  A+
Exam: 39/60 B+

by how much do you think VCAA will moderate my sac marks down to?

My apologies if my question is vague or just weird.

Obviously this is only a guess, but if they were to change I would say only down to an A or a B+ at most? This also depends on your cohort and ranking but I wouldn't think they would alter them too much!

Gotta disagree here. I'm assuming that with such got sac results, you would be somewhere very near the top of your cohort with a high ranking. For such a low exam score in relation to your SAC scores, there are two possible scenarios: either you go much worse than you should (which means you have classmates who score much higher), or you have a weak cohort (meaning a B+ is as good as your cohort gets). In the first scenario, your SAC results wouldn't get scaled down too far, as your high sac ranking would save you. In the second scenario, your sacs would probably get scaled down quite a bit.

Overall, don't stress. A B+ exam mark will put you in the high 30's which is definitely something to be proud of.
