A+ cut off for mid-year

Will the A+ cut off change this year by much? or will it stay the same.

Last year's cut off was 131/146. So losing about 7-8 marks overall for A+.

How much should you be looking to lose to still keep 40 SS RAW in eyesight. (ranked around 8th in class in SACS)

It will be a bit higher because last year was an absolute shocker.

Yeah the A+ cut off will probably be similar to 2008s i'd assume.. but who knows, it may drop!

I just realised that my stats are wrong as I took mine from the 2007 grading. So the 2009 mid year was probably the hardest of the new syllabus ? The A+ cut off was 114-146. So you could have lost a huge 16 marks and still get an A+.

There are nine short answer questions, one less than last year. And two extra marks.
I have a feeling that it isn't going to be very easy this year.

Lol, you never know. Maybe since everyone is predicting they will make it easier, they would make it even harder....

I don't think it would be harder. Generally, when one year is hard, the next year tends to be easier

Maybe they did a similar thing that they normally do when they introduce a new syllabus, to make it hard and test to see how students handle it?

So now they know it was too hard
