Hey Jelly_Fish! Welcome to ATAR Notes.

I didn't study Literature specifically, but like, general advice:

One SAC won't make or break your study score. That's true either way. Like, if you scored 50/50 for this SAC, that wouldn't mean you'd instantly get a 50 - and equally, this 20/50 doesn't mean that your study score is at all unsalvageable. I'm sure you know that already, but it's important to be reminded once in a while haha - it's easy to lose perspective during VCE.

And further to that, it's pretty hard to tell from raw scores alone. 20/50 doesn't really mean that you scored 20/50 (sounds weird but stay with me), because SACs are mostly used to determine ranking within your cohort. So if you can improve your ranking over your next SACs (which you definitely can), you'll be laughin'.
