How to get 45+ in Further next year?

[34590]

How many marks can you drop before you go below 45?

I heard it's so hard to to get 45+   , and it's so hard to not loose any marks.  So it's impossible!??

Hi 34590,

Essentially, one mark lost in the end of year exams is one study score gone. As it is the easiest math component out of the three (Methods CAS & Specialist Mathematics) a lot of people do well in it. So.. drop 5 marks or more in BOTH exam 1 & 2 next year, and your study score will be lower than 45.

Of course it's possible, if you do well on sacs and then lose less than 5 marks over both exams, you will most likely get over 45.

hmm i have a more interesting question, hope some1 knows the answer
if i have gained like 77% from the sacs (cauz our school has hard sacs) and im ranked 16/41students... any suggestions on what i have to get in the two exams, so that  i can get a mark of like 43-42 in the final?

my teacher... coudnt answer this question

I also want to get 45+ in Further Math's next year since I'm doing maths methods this year and general as well I see how easy general maths is I wonder if it's any different or harder next year, btw I'm doing so bad in methods thats why im doing general math's.

its fairly surprising to see the cut off for an A+ on exam 2 was 52/60??

surely MUCH!!! more then 9% (which is how many ppl got A+) know how to very easily do every question, so how do so many ppl pull such stupid mistakes?
i'd expect the cut off to be up in 56/57 mark, as 3 or 4 marks off isn't that good for further

It depends on your mind. I really regret doing further. My head isn't for it; i can do olympiad stuff, but I don't have the interest to sit down and do something like simple interest calculations, its so draining and boring.
