Unit 4 Exam.

Is it reasonable to assume that this exam will be particularly hard, considering that the Unit 3 exam was so simple that the A+ range was raised up about 5 marks from what the minimum usually is? (ie. 58ish/75 to 64/75)  :)

I think it may be harder than unit 3 because last year the cut-off for A+ was 60/75 (unit 3, hard exam) and 64.5/75 (unit 4, easy exam). So, if it's an easier exam the A+ cut-off raises. As you said, expect a hard exam?
(I hope I'm right and make sense)  :)

I'm pretty sure this exam was set before the unit 3 exam was marked etc.

Either way it doesn't matter, everybody else will find it hard as well

They write the exam the year before it is to be used.

the content is easier, thus the exam will be easier. The unit is also considerably shorter. The unit 3 exam will not influence it as both exams were set back in march.

Not necessarily true. The Unit 4 exam often had lower A+ cutoffs (until 2010) - they were around the 56-58 mark from 2007 to 2009.
