Title: Conversion of Percent to Letter Grade ?
Post by: monkeywantsabanana on June 07, 2011, 06:23:35 pm

Hey guys, I've been wondering what percentile will you need to obtain on the exam in order to get a grade of A/A+ as well as other grades, B,B+, C etc.... ?

I've read the assessment reports and they don't seem to contain this information.

Varies each year, for an indication: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2010/statssect3.html

How do you actually read one of those graphs, where does it say what percentage for each grade?

And does anyone know how the study scores are calculated? What gets you what study score? :-S

That's a bit low considering how well people did on exams o.o

If anything, the A+ standard IMO will drop quite a bit this year with the 15 mark question; although it depends on the type of question they ask.

I mean sure on an ERA or something, getting 10+ isn't a problem, but the fact they can ask on just about anything may mean its an absolutely insane question, something which most would struggle to even come up with 15 marks worth of an answer.

This is just my opinion though :S

I predict an A+ cut off of 75.
