Well apparent high "A"s in both exams can get you 40.

Yeah I'd be saying close to the 40 mark, depending of course upon the cutoffs.

I guess that's okay. Could i get anywhere near 45 if this exam is a low A+ and next exam is a high A+?

Yes - you most definitely can.

I speak from experience - Last year, I got a technical "A" on my methods exam 1 (check GA scores below). However, I managed to get a high A+ on exam 2 and came out with a 47. So, if you got a low A+, the top scores are still open!

It will be very hard... ur exam 2 A+ must be very high (losing 1 or 2 marks) 45 IS the top 2%

Yeh I was wondering the same thing. What if you get a low A to B+ for this exam and get a high a+ to a. Is 40 raw still a possibility?

You did only lose like 8 marks over the whole year though ;)
