Grade Distributions?

Just like to know what range each grade is in?
eg: A+ for 90s.
Though, i like to know exactly the range for each grade.
The Grades VCAA uses.

Here is the grade distributions for the last few years, they can change dramatically each year though!

Just click the year, and then grade distributions

The grade distributions/ranges change each year for every subject.  It is dependent on the cohort's performance.  You won't know what exactly will give you an A+ till after you get your Study Score, but past year's grade distributions might give you an idea of what you might want to aim for!

An example is the physics mid year exams in 2007 and 2008.

2007 A+ Range: 76.5/90
2008 A+ Range: 82/90

That is a 5.5 mark difference between the two years!!!

For getting an A+

Biology 2006 midyear: new study design introduced: 54/75
Biology 2007 midyear: one year into the study design: 60.5/75

So if you are doing a subject that's in the first year of a study design this year, then be careful not to assume they will give you an easy exam.

Oh crap does this mean the physics exam will be easy? Since they took out transistors?

thats not necessarily true. Take chem for example, they had a really hard exam last year and it was the first year of the new course...
