Title: What is considered a high A+/A and what is considered a low A+/A?
Post by: nat_1577 on July 05, 2013, 12:51:01 pm
I'm starting yeah 12 next year, and I just wanted to know what's considered a high A+ and a high A and what's considered a low A+ and a low A, since in year 11 it's pretty much different in every school.

In my school an A+ is 95% and onwards, and an A is 90%-95%.
In my friends school, an A is 85%-95%
Then in some schools I've heard that a 90% and onwards is an A+

In VCE, how does it all work?

I think it really depends on the subject (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
If you click on the this link: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/vce/statistics/2012/statssect3.aspx and click on the subjects you're wanting to undertake next year. You should be able to deduce from the grade distributions what marks are needed to receive a high A+, a high A and so on.

In short, it depends on the difficulty of the assessment tasks.

For example, if an exam is really easy then to get an A+ you might need 90% and the high end of that spectrum could be 98%.

However, if an exam is really difficult then to get an A+ you might need only 70% and a high A+ could be 90%.

The same applies to all the other grades.

This is how I see it anyway  ::)

Sorry OP,

I linked the wrong thing.

You have to go here instead:  http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/vce/statistics/2012/statssect3.aspx
Then click on a subject in question.

For example: Legal Studies
For unit 3 course work: A+ is between 92-100
From there you could break it into 3 different categories.

Ugh, sorry again :(

Also, just to let you know, this is the grade distribution from LAST YEAR. So, although it says 92-100 for an A+ this is subject to change.
