Is it reasonable to assume that this exam will be particularly hard, considering that the Unit 3 exam was so simple that the A+ range was raised up about 5 marks from what the minimum usually is? (ie. 58ish/75 to 64/75) :)

I hope it is going to be easy...stupid "homo" skulls

I think it may be harder than unit 3 because last year the cut-off for A+ was 60/75 (unit 3, hard exam) and 64.5/75 (unit 4, easy exam). So, if it's an easier exam the A+ cut-off raises. As you said, expect a hard exam?
(I hope I'm right and make sense) :)
-
I'm pretty sure this exam was set before the unit 3 exam was marked etc.
Either way it doesn't matter, everybody else will find it hard as well
-
They write the exam the year before it is to be used.

the content is easier, thus the exam will be easier. The unit is also considerably shorter. The unit 3 exam will not influence it as both exams were set back in march.

Not necessarily true. The Unit 4 exam often had lower A+ cutoffs (until 2010) - they were around the 56-58 mark from 2007 to 2009.

What order should we do VCAA exams in ? (@ DILMAH)

2011, 2010, 2006, 2009, 2007, 2008
A+ cuts 64.5, 62.5, 60.5, 58, 57.5, 56.5
You can see what I'm doing here :D

Really? Is this just for bio or other subjects as well?
-
For Physics I know for sure, for other subjects I would assume the same.
-
so the takeaway message is prepare for the worst (which is what you should be doing anyway) :P
-
Yup. But stay within the study design.
