Usually about 8-10% obtain an A+
top 8% = standard deviation of 1.4
top 10% = standard deviation of 1.28
The mean for Exam 2 was 95.8
now with an A+ of about 8% =>95.8 + 1.4 x 48.2 = 163/180
or with an A+ of about 10% =>95.8 8 + 1.28 x 48.2 = 157.5/180
approximately 9.3% obtained an A+ on the midyear so the A+ cut-off will probably be around 160/180
hope this helps :)

I faxed mine yesterday morning (SoM and statement of study score), and got it today. I actually though they would take at least a week, but I guess not.

I can't believe the Biology Exam 2 cutoff was 65/75, that's ridiculous!

O.O no... way...

people seem to be getting better at biology... i thought the exam was very vague near the end, and i was sure tonnes of people would get the human evo questions wrong (myself included). i thought cutoff would be ~ 62ish/75

Kinda surprising, especially with all those 3 mark "explain" type questions. And we thought the cutoff for the midyear was ridiculous :P

Yeah, I actually just made it on the A+! It's so stupid how in 2012 we were set exams (both) which had cutoffs so high because they were so much simpler than previous ones, I did so many practice exams and questions but they were all unlike the simplicity of these 2 exams, still got higher than I expected so I can't complain  :P

I totally agree. although i dont think it was actually intentional on VCAA's behalf, because they write both exams before the midyears... i think it was just a coincidence that most people found both exams relatively easy imo :D i was just happy it wasnt like some of the previous end of years... some of them were actually evil.
