Title: Estimating the A+ Cutoff mark
Post by: danieltennis on November 15, 2008, 06:52:16 pm
Hey guys,
what do you think is the A+ cutoff mark for this years exam?

I'm guessing:
Exam 1: 37/40
Exam 2: 68/80

Thanks. :)

I hope I got up to your standard for exam 2 daniel :( I can't remember my marks.

Anyway, my estimation for A+ cut off is:
Exam 1: 37/40
Exam 2: Slightly higher than 2007's exam 2.

Exam 1: 36/40.

Exam 2: 61/80.

I think compared to last year, exam 1 was easier whilst exam 2 was slightly harder. Last years A+ marks were 35 and 63 respectively.

I agree. Methods was really hard in exam 2, but even I could finish exam 1 with almost 50%. :P

I don't get why people have it so much easier with exam 1... I mean, you have to do everything by hand, and the standard of questions is much like the questions in exam 2 in terms of the method you have to do.

In my opinion, I don't believe it will be that low. The 07 exams were much more difficult and demanding than this years one. I think 06's had similar difficulty to this years one.

Yeah, I agree. But a fly was annoying me.

I was breathing like Darth Vader too :( I had hay fever and had a stuffy nose. I didn't want to play my nose whistle so I had to breath through my mouth.

Hehe, I have this lady with white hair, who I've known since last year when I done my Psych exam. Scariest lady ever. And, when my eyes were tearing up because of my hay fever, she looked at me non-stop. God, was I scared she was going to do something to me. :P
