ga 1 95
ga 2 40/40
what score would i need in exam 2 to get 42?
thanks!
Nice work on your GA2 score!
I'd say low 70's (71-73) should be good provided the A+ cut-off is in the high 60's (67-69). Obviously try to aim higher though since you're in a great position to do better!

pls respond
i gather 45 is about as high as methods can go? spec 47 still possible?
how badly can losing 3 marks on (either) paper 1 cook your SS?
apparently methods cut off is expected to be a few lower than last years?
Methods: ~45 is about the range you're looking at I reckon (Methods A+ cutoff will be lower for Exam 2 compared to last year so it gives you more leeway imo).
Specialist: It'll be very tough except I don't think a 77/80 will yield a 47 (I reckon 45-46 is what you could possibly be looking at if Exam 2 provided VCAA doesn't dish up something like last year for example but a higher Exam 2 can of course push it higher).
As for losing three marks, depends on the A+ cut-off and what you're aiming for... aiming for 38-43, it shouldn't do too much damage but aiming for 45+ will do quite a bit since it does get bunched up towards the top end.
