If you get an A+ for the exam, I sure you will be able to :). To get a 40+ at least, you don't need a high A+

I'm gonna sound really arrogant and I really don't want to, but how much would a 100% average + like 85% in the exam? Hoping for over 45 but these practice exams are flippin' finicky! I keep losing all these ridiculous marks everywhere

Yeah, I keep losing marks as well on silly areas. It's hard with the viscom exam because it might seem repetitive, but they always somehow tweak the exam to be more difficult...

Apparently you could lose around 13 marks and still get an A+.
I looked at the grade distributions for viscom last year and a low A+ was 74%.
But to get 45, you got to be the top 4% of the state, and for viscom, it's hard because you really have to wow the examiners. I heard, for viscom, you should get 95% for a 45...

It's hard because you have to be so precise and goddamn surprise the examiners with your designs that you come up with within a short time period.
Try and make sure you blitz through the worded questions so you have room to lose marks in the design/rendering/technical drawing because it's hard to check whether you are 100% correct on those :(
