How many marks can you drop before you go below 45?
I heard it's so hard to to get 45+ , and it's so hard to not loose any marks. So it's impossible!?? :(

Hi 34590,
Essentially, one mark lost in the end of year exams is one study score gone. As it is the easiest math component out of the three (Methods CAS & Specialist Mathematics) a lot of people do well in it. So.. drop 5 marks or more in BOTH exam 1 & 2 next year, and your study score will be lower than 45.

Of course it's possible, if you do well on sacs and then lose less than 5 marks over both exams, you will most likely get over 45.

hmm i have a more interesting question, hope some1 knows the answer
if i have gained like 77% from the sacs (cauz our school has hard sacs) and im ranked 16/41students... any suggestions on what i have to get in the two exams, so that i can get a mark of like 43-42 in the final?
my teacher... coudnt answer this question
-
I also want to get 45+ in Further Math's next year since I'm doing maths methods this year and general as well I see how easy general maths is I wonder if it's any different or harder next year, btw I'm doing so bad in methods thats why im doing general math's.
-
its fairly surprising to see the cut off for an A+ on exam 2 was 52/60??
surely MUCH!!! more then 9% (which is how many ppl got A+) know how to very easily do every question, so how do so many ppl pull such stupid mistakes?
i'd expect the cut off to be up in 56/57 mark, as 3 or 4 marks off isn't that good for further
-
It depends on your mind. I really regret doing further. My head isn't for it; i can do olympiad stuff, but I don't have the interest to sit down and do something like simple interest calculations, its so draining and boring.
