[SPLIT] SAC Rankings Question

Ok, thanks for that. I will ask my teacher what her opinion of what the answer "should" be (even though I find people on this forum more knowledgable and reliable with answer).
Also, another question (this is more a general education question).
Does the only thing that matters with SACs is your ranking? Please only answer if you are 100% sure due to reading a report from VCAA or talking to an examiner?
If so, then does that means there is no different between averaging  90% and 100% on SACs if you go to a low scoring school?

If you are ranked #1 (or last, or at the first and third quartiles) then your mark doesn't matter. As far as I understand this, it can make a difference at other points.

Thanks for that.
That document did say that it also take into account the spread of the marks from the cohort so there would probably be a small differents in results from a 90% average to a 100% average on SAC (if you are stilled ranked 1)
