What would I get with the following:

Exam 1 :33/40
Exam 2: 67/80

SACs: A scaled?

Also, what do you guys think the A+ cut offs will be this year?

What about rank 1 (100%) SACs in a medium-strong cohort, 38/40 and 76/80?

38-39?

That's a little generous tbh. Granted, I haven't looked at the exams yet, but if this year's exams were as easy as last year's, he'd be on closer to 35.

This will be determined almost entirely by how easy people found exam 1. If it was like last year with a 38/40 A+ cutoff, you might only make 45-47. I'd be surprised if you could get higher than 47 given that I got a 49 last year with 40/40 and 77/80, assuming once again this year's exams are around the same as last year's.

Exam 1 was supposedly easier - and having done exam 2 myself, it wasn't much harder than last year's exam 2 (questions were more even in difficulty, as opposed to some incredibly easy and some incredibly hard like last year).

You two would be sitting on low 40s, maybe even barely making the cutoff

Barely making the cutoff for 40


It really depends on how easy people find exam 1 though. If you got those scores last year, you almost definitely wouldn't make a 40.
