2006: 36.5
2007: 36
2008: 32
2009: 37.5
2010: 36.5

Considering this year's exam was pathetically easier than previous years and I actually don't know anyone that has dropped more than 3 and knowing there are huge amounts of kids that fullmarked it, I'm going with 38.

In 2009, 77 students (1.65%) scored full marks and 673 students (14.4%) scored more than 36 marks out of 40.

Honestly felt 2011 was on-par if not easier than 2009. And I already know about 77 students that full-marked that paper.

GG VCAA for a ridiculously easy exam where Spesh is now worse than Methods and silly mistakes are going to cost you.

I better see a good exam tomorrow, but usually an easy exam 1 usually means an easy exam 2 so I'm not expecting anything much...

I think there will be a whole question on kinematics, one on complex graphs, one on vector equations, one on forces and one on volume in the tech rich short answer.

And there must be a MC on slope fields.

Yes,

I'm disappointed as well.

I lost 5 marks for careless errors. It was ridiculously easy and as a result will cop it now.

I am going to be very angry if tomorrow's exam is easy, sadly, I think it will be.

I may as well have not studied for this exam.

A+ could hit 38 this year, but I'm thinking 37.5.

whats the dfference between 37.5 and 38?
there arent half marks, so it would just mean 38+ gets an A+? :S

2 people mark it, so the cut off may be 75, which would be 37.5.
