what's a statement of marks?
Is that the thing telling you the range of what A+ is, what A is etc...

They process them in order of received, and so should have started doing this Today, some of us who sent it first will get it possibly tomorrow, but more likely later this week

Oh okay, well I only ordered mine today - cause I was really disappointed with my A.

Hopefully, I'll find out where I went wrong and whether my A was a low, mid or high one.

Yep it's pretty good, but it made me a bit annoyed with the "I swear i got that question right" type thoughts.. But goodluck anyways for the most-part its very helpful.

So turns out I missed out on an A+ by 2 marks - FML!

So it only took about 4 days to receive?

Get ittttttttt. And let us all know what you got.

Otherwise you might fall into a false sense of security.

I'm annoyed and happy with mine.

Annoyed with some STUPID decision i.e. TO change a few MC at the end. All of which I changed to the wrong ones.

But I'm happy cos my A+ is a mid one. Cut off was 85% and I got 93% all together so it's not that bad.
 I just want 45 or over. If I get the same on unit 4 I should end up around there I guess.

Hope everyone else is happy with their statement, I would recommend getting it.

you'll be fine... there is very little difference between a high A and a low A+.  letter grades actually don't mean anything.  they just cover a range of marks.

I would say with a mid to high A+ on the next exam and with good sacs, you should easily be able to get 40+.  :)

Considering the cut off was 85% I think 93% is like a mid A+ not a low one.
