what if you get an A+ in one exam and like a B+ in the other, what score would you get?

The way it works is that the top 10% of students in a subject get an A+. However, to score a 40 or above you need to be about the top 8%. So those that average out to the lowest of A+'s will get a SS of a bit less than 40.

B-B+ for most subjects is pretty much around 31-35

You can find the mark on an exam needed for each subject here:

To my understanding you won't know your mark until they've done it, as they put the average as C+ and use a bell curve scaling. It's as Tony stated.
