Title: A+ Cut Off
Post by: Danielhogz on November 04, 2011, 03:32:21 pm
What do you guys reckon A+ cut off will be this year. Personlly i thought this exam was way harder than previous years. 35-35.5/40 Hopefully? :)

what do you mean by cut off?
Title: Re: A+ Cut Off
Post by: Deank on November 04, 2011, 04:58:17 pm
Cut off = the lowest score possible to receive an A+ for the exam. e.g. 35/40 is an A+, 34/40 is an A.

According to iTute's answers, I got 39/40, I should definitely be getting an A+ right? Ughh such a stupid mistake, I got question 2 in the core wrong -.-

Yeah, I'm hoping a lot of people did terribly, so my 38/40 and hopefully 60/60 will get me a 49

Yes, if the A+ cut off was 40/40, I'd probably shit my pants, you have definitely gotten an A+.

Also, if I get A+ in both the exams, and I have full marks in all my sacs, will that mean about a 49 for me? Even if I lose marks in the exams?

Nope, to get a 50, you're looking at losing basically 1 mark maximum if this year goes pretty poorly on the exams, considering an A+ in exam 1 last year was 36/40, Getting A+'s in both exams, won't guarantee a 49-50.

Which reinforces what I said, that you can only lose a maximum of 1 mark. From rebeckab's wording, asking that if she got an A+ (any score that gets her an A+), will she be guaranteed a 49-50, in which case I said no, due to the cut offs for A+'s potentially being around 36, resulting in a maximum of 4 lost marks in 1 exam alone.

What would double A+'s get you then? IIRC, double A+'s only guaranteed about a 40+ for Methods..Don't know how it differs to Further though.

I reckon majority of the state mucked up core q 12 and I guess I can't say much else since we all do different modules

hey guys,

if I got an overall SAC percentage of 94 and a 35/40 in exam 1, how much would I need in exam 2 to secure a 40 above scaled score?

A+ cut off is ~53/60. since u lost 5 marks on the first exam (~2 marks below an A+), you'll need at least a 55/60 to get above 40

well if i assume your sacs is close to 100% then probs 45-47
Title: Re: A+ Cut Off
Post by: davidle_10 on November 06, 2011, 11:08:12 pm
I'm not sure how sac marks work because from what I've heard, your sac marks can increase If you perform well in your exam. But if someone gets 100% for both exams and is ranked 30/100 will it ruin his chances of getting a 50?
Title: Re: A+ Cut Off
Post by: Danielhogz on November 06, 2011, 11:23:34 pm
yeah sort of. Unless all those 30 are full marks. To get 50 you pretty much have a one mark leway in all assessments
