Quote from head of chemistry "The A+ cut off this year is 57/73"

WOW.

is that 100% reliable?

if so...I may be able to scrape A+

I checked with the current head of chem and he marked exams and says the cut off was that.

And I checked with the retired head of chem who also wrote checkpoints, he says it's confirmed.

lol, this reminds me of bio last year. Mid-year A+ = 61.5/75. End-year A+ = 56.5/75.

Would you be able to ask someone at your school about the cut-off for accounting?

That's a very low A+ cut off.  Definitely a "WOW" factor.  Thanks for the info TT.
Title: Re: A+ cut off ranges are out!
Post by: NE2000 on July 16, 2009, 05:42:14 pm
But is it a bad thing to have such a low cut-off? I much prefer this situation to the physics one (86.5/90). This is the reason why hard exams are really not that bad often once you get your results. As long as you do your best, manage to finish and limit your silly mistakes you benefit way more from a hard exam than an easy exam.

The exam is posted up, Mao posted up answers, I'm sure you can remember what you wrote if you paid attention to Chemistry. Hence it is possible.

borderline A/A+...but knowing my luck ill rip a B+ somehow lmao.
meh the aim was 35 at the start of the year so lets hope this man can be quoted!

I hope that means I can get a low A.
It will end up being a B+
Worst luck!

Now that the cut-off ranges are officially out. What sort of marks do people think are required to be on track for a 43? 45? 48? 50?
Title: Re: A+ cut off ranges are out!
Post by: /0 on August 09, 2009, 01:19:56 pm
Hmm probably if you get lowest A+ in all GA's then you get 39-40, so mid-range A+ in all GAs maybe 44-45, high in all GAs 49-50.

lol this guy from uni physics was so depressed that he lost one mark in the chem exam. RAGE
Title: Re: A+ cut off ranges are out!
Post by: Over9000 on August 09, 2009, 01:29:33 pm
What would you be looking at if you get high A+, low A+ (borderline between A/A+) and then high A+?
Title: Re: A+ cut off ranges are out!
Post by: TrueTears on August 09, 2009, 01:30:51 pm
43+?

I guess maybe if he had spent the last month or so in the belief that he had just full-marked one of the hardest chem exams in the history of chem he might have been a tad disappointed, siff be depressed though

But how many people do you reckon would be like that, losing 0-3 marks?
Title: Re: A+ cut off ranges are out!
Post by: TrueTears on August 09, 2009, 02:18:49 pm
I think about 7 people in our school lost around 0 - 4 marks.

lol and that's just one school, given that someone told me around 20 people get 50 for chem, I guess you can only afford to lose like 2 marks after all (to be on track for a 50), maybe 5 for a 47/48. Assuming similar performance in endyear. This is just conjecture though.

even in the easier practice exam the best students lost a quite a few marks
