Lower A cut off this year?

given that the exam was apparently harder than previous years, is there a chance that the A cut off will be lower?
i'm pretty sure i got 5 wrong so i'm most likely looking at B+ but what's you're thoughts?

If you got 5 wrong, according to the Grade Distribution, you got an A

From discussion with people on this forum and friends/peers, it seems that this years exam has been relatively more difficult than the previous years, people have estimated an A+ cut off of 35/40, which you would just fit into. (A+ Cut Off)

Grade distribution =/= Exam distribution...?

I doubt the cut-off mark would be low.. Ur looking at 36-37 out of 40 as a possible cut off.. Though I did further last year... o wouldn't call ur exam an absolute hard one...

Yep 35 might also w achance for the cut-off:)

I believe that is only an estimation and only applies for 45+, <45, you can lose more than 1 mark per score.

i wouldn't call this exam hard. when i first did the 2010 i found it hard compared to this year, but thats probably because 2010 was the first practice exam i did and i was more prepared for this one. i would assume that the A+ range would be 36-40 like last year, but fingers crossed people did bad on it (none of you guys)
