Title: Scores for 35+/40+/45+ in specialist?
Post by: para_llelepiped on July 31, 2021, 12:14:13 pm
Hey! Just wondering if anyone knows what scores I should aim to get in exams 1&2 in order to get 35/40/45? Sorry if this has been asked too frequently - all I can find online are score predictions from a few years ago and I'm not sure if things have changed in recent years.
Thanks in advance! :)

This website has it all: https://twmpublications.com/statistics
(Raw scores:)
35: E1: 77%, E2: 77%
40: E1: 87%, E2: 89%
45: E1: 94%, E2: 95%
Note: I looked at their methodology for this, and what they essentially do is get the A, A+ etc data from the grade distribution then interpolate the data. Hence, at the extremes this is likely inaccurate (as an A+ is ~40) so anything above that is 'unbounded' so to speak.

Thank you for the info!  :)

A rule of thumb for pretty much any subject is if you want a 40, you need to get A+ on the exam. For a 35 a B+ or A might get you there.
