im thinking myself 82-83/90 since the exam wasn't hard but had a few tricks up its sleeve.
what do you guys think the cut-off would be? :angel:
-
I think it will be around that too. It was a straightforward exam, though again a silly error has prevented me from potentially getting full marks...
-
im saying 82
-
81/90
BTW what do you think will be the B+ cutoff? (Im hoping for a B+)
I actually think theres a lot of explain q's which ppl are gonna lose marks in plus all the various tricks :tickedoff:. Definelty harder than 09 and 08. but wasnt too hard.
-
i think it was super hard !!!!!!!!
-
81/90
BTW what do you think will be the B+ cutoff? (Im hoping for a B+)
65. somewhere along those lines. im thinking maybe A+ = 82-83, A= 74, B+ = 65+
-
I'm saying 80-81, if not less. because it was 82 last year, and last year was easier and this exam had a couple of subtle but nifty tricks.

i completely agree. but yeah im being fully harsh on myself for comitting silly errors.
-
I thought it was pretty easy to be honest. The only tricky question was the last x-ray question. In saying that, I thought it was harder than last years. So the cutoff will probably be 1 or 2 marks less than 09 I'd say
-
=.= FML the cut off will be like 93-95%
Gayest physics exam ever =.=.=.=.=

93-95% Are you kidding.
So many explain q's and heaps of tricks.
-
If lasts years was like 82/90, this years will be lower, don't worry.
and i'm kicking myself over stupid mistakes too...
-

Yep definitely. This exam was harder than last years and about on par with 08. I'd say the A+ cutoff will be 80-81.
Last years cutoff was 85.5/90 and 2008's was 81, so I think just about if not below 08.. 80-81/90.

Gay in a sense it was too easy or you made silly mistakes? ><

imo 09 has way more explain questions than this. It took me 30 minutes to finsih 09 light and matter section.
and 0.o wat tricks?

lol i was hpoing for methods equivalent for physics

Yep definitely. This exam was harder than the last two. I'd say the A+ cutoff will be 79-80.
Last years cutoff was 85.5/90 and 2008's was 81, so I think just below 08.. 79-80/90.
last years was 85.5? omg i thought i aced it with my 85/90! lol what a dumbass i am
-
was it comparable in difficulty to midyears?
-
way easier than midyears lol
-
twas was easy that's for sure, and I agree with kyzoo on the cutoff.
-
tricks like. parallell loop inside solenoid. Ie: Flux = 0. i got this wrong....:(
Maybe its just me lol...>.<
-
i did that too fml
-
No point gessing cutoffs too much guys. Remember that majority of people on this forum are looking at 40+, and if i remember right, after the midyear, everyone was predicting a cutoff in low-mid 80's; and it ended up being like 78 or something.
-
the cut off for A+ midyears was 162/180 so 81/90.
-
really..? i must be thinking of chem
-
chem midyears was 134/150 so 67/75 =D
-
probs 81/90 like the midyear
-
i agree
-
83-84/90 is my bet. Easier than the midyear by far.

Kyzoo, are you aware of how annoying posts like these are for other people? Or are you once again suffering from smart kid syndrome?
-
Ill say over 83

^Lol @Taiga

But if he is really disappointed or angry then he has the right to vent as much as others that also feel disappointed.

He has a right to do anything...
Does it fit social (forum) etiquette? No, not really.

x.x i type without thinking, sorry if its offensive guys
-
I agree. The cutoff will be high this year. 85+ ...
-
Sif man. Hope you're not being serious..
You really think it will be taken better by the state than last years?

what was last years cut off?
-
85.5/90 :buck2:
-
85.5/90 :buck2:
hmm thats going to be tight
-
nah I reckon lower than 09 now that I think about it haha.
-
Can I get 44 with 86/90 midyears and 82/90 for this exam?
-

Maybe a tad lower :X
-
I'd say that'd be 42-44 with strong SACs. Your exam scores are a mid-high A+ and about a low A+.
-
I'm saying 80-81, if not less. because it was 82 last year, and last year was easier and this exam had a couple of subtle but nifty tricks.
Yep definitely. This exam was harder than last years and about on par with 08. I'd say the A+ cutoff will be 80-81.
Last years cutoff was 85.5/90 and 2008's was 81, so I think just about if not below 08.. 80-81/90.
any estimates on the A cut-off?

If the A+ cutoff is ~84, then A cutoff would probably be ~76
-
if i get to b+ for both exam what study score will i be up for roughly
-
32-34
-
how much scaling does it do??
-
What do you mean? Scaling from 32-34 is ~3. So 35-37 scaled.
-
i got a B+ for mid year, averaging about low A+/high A for sacs and most likely low A+ for this exam. Is it possible for me to get 37 or 38?
-
What would a very high A (exam 1) and a very high A or very low A+ (exam 2) get me with an A+ on SACS?
-
IMO the x-ray question is enough to make the cut off lower than 09. I think a lot of people would have got that wrong. There were a lot of explain questions and it would have been pretty easy to drop marks on the flux=0 and force=0 questions. It kind of annoyed me though that for the force question it asked you to explain your answer. That made it pretty obvious that it was 0 and you had to explain why.

yea i agree , although people probably wont explain it well.
-
And that there was no box to write your answer in, pretty much gave it away.

Yeah, I forgot about that. Hate that. If they made it a little less obvious maybe the cut-off would be lower lol
