MA11 - Mathematical Methods (CAS)
   GA 1:    C   
   GA 2:    D+
   GA 3:    C+
     Study Score: 24

Bump that D+ up to a C and you'd probably get a 25

Thats bullshit, If 30 is supposed to be average I'm pretty sure B+B+B+ will be at least the high 30s given that B+ is meant to be pretty above average,

Study scores are distributed like a bell curve. Yes B+ B+ B+ would be I dont know roughly top 25-30%, that's not even standard deviation out from mean yet (=37 = top 16%ish)

It doesnt work like that. There will always be a certain amount of people who get A+'s .... if for example the VCAA issued the hardesr specialist exam in the world and the highest mark was 60/90 (i dont know what the exam is out of)....
that person would get an A+

As said before.... its a bell curve... not your usual school decided A+ cut off of 90% or so
