A,B+ (exam 1 ), A (exam 2)  = 35
OR
A,A,A                               = 35

A, A+, B+ = 36

Not sure about the high/low/medium-ness of the grades though.

just a question directed at people who do specialist. if for example they ask a question in the exam and dont specify the method to be used can we use a method from the specialist course. example. second deriviative to find nature of stationary point.

no...especially since the second derivative as it is not part of the methods course. according to an examiner, methods must be shown which can be related back to what has been taught in the course.

harsh yes, and frankly the second derivative method should be in the methods course anyhow (hassle-free compared to some sloppy gradient table)

I was told you can use any method you want but if it isn't apart of the course then you won't get any method/consequential marks if you happen to get it wrong.

I got 35 in Methods last year, and I got:
SAC Averages: A+
Exam 1: B+ (completely stuffed it up O_o)
Exam 2: A (that's better!! :P)

SS: 35 (scaled to: 42)

All the best for your exams. :)
