POLL: A+ cut-off (Unit 4)
« on: November 11, 2009, 06:00:19 pm »
So, what do you think the A+ cut-off will be for this years unit 4 exam?

Did the straightforward "copy-off-the-cheat-sheet" style exam make it too accessible for the entire state? and will we have the same epic dilemma as the mid years?

I think it'll be around 78, because it required more reasoning than past exams, and there's a much higher potential to lose a lot of marks in the explanations.

Premiers Awards are going to be impossible to give out if both exams had the same cut off...

Exam 1 was 86/90
Exam 2 was 85.5/90

I would guess a premiers would require full marks for both.

I feel sorry for those who did Physics this year. Quite hard to get the high marks this year. This is probably why my friend only got a 41 where he was aiming for 45+
