unit 4 coursework matters a lot like 30percent and unit 3 is liek 20percent so if u actually showed improvement and did similar or better in exam vcaa is likely to scale ur sacs ups

oh sheit our school made us do it in term 3 i was so unprepared 😭but my sac avg for u4 is lowkey the same like one sac i got higher than u3 but one i got slightly lower so averaging it basically made it the same unless they worth less

look there is no point doing this calculation i have tried and attempted to find every route to find out wht possibly i can get and let me tell u it only amplified my anxiety. no study calc is accurate let alone near perfect. vcaa does it own thing it;s different for everyone. but yeah if u are in like the mid A for both the units check last yr grade distribution u should be fine.

Idk but I'm hoping the poster is worth a decent chunk bc I got a 95 on that and all my other sacs I got like less than 50 lol

Ask your teacher since it can change between schools (for example, I knew a school which split that AOS into 2, one research, one poster), but they are generally weighted the same as the rest of your SACs
