What should i aiming for tomorrow for a 40+ in methods?

[mtDNA]

They really are. I feel like the exams just keep getting harder sadly i'll just wait till december 15th to make a final decision. Also what do you guys think I'm actually looking at with those scores. A 36+ish? such a disappointment for my school as well.

I personally think the A+ bands will be lower (imo both exams were so much harder than 2016), so your scores should get you a really high 30, if not a 40. And if it makes you feel better, I’m pretty much in the same shoes as you with the rank and scores

MtDna what were your scores on the further exam? I was told today that I'm super unlikely to get a 45+ with my scores.

At most dropped 2 marks over both papers (1 on MC, and maybe 1 on the SA - I really can’t remember if my answer was the same), so I assume this will give me a high 40

Hmmm I dropped 3 marks overall and I was told it would be super unlikely that i would get 45+... Now would this be true?

Depends if they were all in the one exam - I know a friend who did it last year, aced E2 but lost 5 in E1 and got 41. So if you are in that situation, maybe you could get a 44 or 45, just I doubt it’d be a high 40. However, if your marks were lost over both exams, then maybe you could get up to 47. Also depends on your rank.

Hey, can someone who did Methods last year and got 40 please give me an indication of what their SAC and exam 1 & 2 scores were?
I'm dying to know  cos my exam scores aren't that great

Honestly I wouldn’t stress, the exams were pretty challenging so be happy that it’s over, and you will most likely surprise yourself Dec 15

Last year, a 34/40 + 64/80 was a 40.

Exam 1 Score was 38/40 and Exam 2 was 59/60

Do you mean 69/80 ? Exam 2 is out of 80.

Last year, a 34/40 + 64/80 was a 40.

Hopefully its lower this year. This years exam is definitely on a higher level than last years. Praying and fingers crossed.

Thank you all for contributing, i feel a bit better about my situation now.

What do you reckon the A+ cut off for exam 2 is?

Wow that is actually surprising

[blehblop]

I know 2013 was 61.5 for Exam 2 which i think is one of the lowest cut offs. Idk if this years was that difficult though.
