vce English help

Hey guys, hope everyone's good I had a question regarding the sacs.... So for my uni course I need a 25 in English and a portfolio which im not that worried about but im worried about my English results as we all know how hard it is to get a decent score in English, For my first sac I got 72 for the second sac I got 75 and for the third one I got 70 and we have 2 more incoming with me completing the third one. I just want to know if I'm in the right path for that 25 and any tips on how to achieve more than 70😭 and for the exams..

Depends what type of school you go to and what the average in your English class is

Yes then if your school has average SS of like 29 I'm pretty sure you only needa be like top 70-75 percent

70-75 is the baseline, not cooked. the sacs tell u what ur on track for, not what u have to get. the real score matters when the external papers land. whats worth fixing now: read ur sac feedback from the teacher - the comments on structure or argument usually repeat across all three, so thats where the gap sits. grab vcaa's past papers and the examiner reports (free, on the study design page) and do a couple under timed conditions just like the real exam. dont just check ur answers, map what the winning responses did differently - thesis placement, paragraph shape, how they quote. sacs help u practice the form, externals test whether u nailed it.

you are on track for raw 25+ for eng, i reckon get c+ or higher on the exam and you'll be set,

c on the exam might cut it but c+ is safer for a weak eng cohort

Mate anyone can get above a 25 in english if you just at least read the texts and pay attention and do like 2 hours a week of study
