Rumours are going around my school that the A+ cut-off will be around 65!
I pretty sure I got higher than that, but what do you people think? Personally, I think it is a bit high... But then again, it was pretty easy.
-
My mate (prems in 09) and his mother (assessor) said ~63 should be the cutoff. Any higher and we'd be studying chem, not biol :P.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if it was around 65 this year. Thought it was way easier than 2006, and the cutoff then was 61.

i hope its a bit lower
-
a 65 cut off?????? that is huge... lol
i found the exam alright i think ill get around 62ish give or take 2, so i hope A+ cutoff is around 61...
65 is damn high!
-
Oh i hope you're right 'smashem' :)
-
wow you guys realy think that the cut off will be that high?
i initally thought 62...
-
I say anything from 119 to 126; it was easy yes, but as always assessors are anal, and there were a few tricks in the exam and a few questions from left field (eg. that centromere one). There were also more synthesis questions (3-4 markers) so it'll be easier to slip one word and lose a mark.

I still think more like 126-130, but I agree with the points that you made (except that assessors are 'anal', only because my friend's mum is an assessor and she is really nice)

I hope your right :) Dec 13 cannot come any sooner...

Hmm...130 to me is too high...the highest A+ cutoff ever (correct me if I'm wrong) was 125, and this exam was relatively simple, but was not unusually easy

I found this one the easiest of all the past VCAA exams of the current study design
-
Fair enough
I personally found it similar to 2006
-
what you guys been smoking,
cut off will never be 65,
highest it will be is 62 im guessing around 61
-
If this thread is right then I am in trouble, but I doubt it will be that high.
-
Does anyone now know the actual cut-off?
-
wouldve been highish im guessing cos i got an A :'( maybe 62-63.... dunno just guessing, or might have just fvcked up the exam....
-
^^ just like me in unit 3... I should have tried more :(
-
lol i did horrible in unit 3... mainly becoz i didnt know the expectations of a year 12 subject xD i was getting As and A+s for sacs so i decided to just cruise along then got a B+ in the exam :(
Tried a lot harder in unit 4 yet only got an A :(
B+ A A = 36 for me :'(
-
I didn't cruise my SACs (only cruised one of them) and I didn't study at all for the exam (unit 3)...
As I said, should have tried more :( Got more than I expected though...
-
Meh, im not too concerned about it anymore. It was always going to be a 10%er with the other subjects that i do :)

Just interested (again)
-
Based on JDog's statement of study score (it didn't give the cutoff) I estimated it to be 64.5, but I'm getting a SoM so I can tell you later.
-
^^That's lower than I thought
-
to give an indication, of what cuttofs are
i got 47 with
199/200 in sacs
67.5 in midyear
and 67 in end of year
-
Cut off was 62.5
-
