Methods cas last year, to get a B+ for exam 1 you could get a 29-33.5 out of 40.
For exam 2 you needed 54-61.5 out of a total 80 marks.

So you can lose about10 marks for the first exam and about 20 for the second.

Wouldnt be much higher or lower, because exams count for 66% of your SS.

That's not as bad as it seems...

The key phrase is 'everyone else'... 'Everyone' else aren't so good at Methods...

Yeah definitely, and the more people there are doing it, the less competitive it is for the high-achievers, as there would be more 50s etc. handed out ;)
