Grading Matters

[martinjm]

What actually constitutes an A+ or an A, for example, I get 95%, is that an A or an A+

And if it is an A+, would that be a low A+?

Are you talking about SACs or Exams?

If SACs it all depends on your cohort's performance and your teacher will standardise it...

If Exams go to the statistical distribution site and find out what the A+ cut off was for that year for whatever subject.

Sacs,

As in, my school has A's at at least 90 % while i believe other schools have them at 80 or 85? Does the VCAA have it's system?

You have SET gradings? :S

I thought it gets standardised depending on the difficulty of the SAC?

I mean if the top mark is like 80% the A+ cut off should be 80%....I think?

Oh... so that's how it works. (Curse my stupid friend who i trust too much)

Thanks for the help.

I'm new in Australia by the way, so that's why I'm so confused.
