I could have gotten an A+....
« on: August 05, 2010, 03:48:15 pm »
When I came to the drawing the circuit question, I thought I'd leave it until later. But because it was on a back page before the detailed studies, I missed it when checking all my answers afterwards, and it cost me my A+.

what are my chances of getting 45 now?  :(

45 is more or less the highest mark you can get with an A on a midyear.
vce: english, methods, spesh, chemistry, physics, geography.

Sorry to say, but chances are very low; especially in physics. A friend of mine got an A for midyear and A+ for end of year but still ended up with 37. However, there may be a possibility if u get like uber high 90's in the end of year exam.

remember it's not just the grade but where you sit in that grade - i.e. a top A compared to a bottom A+ probably isnt that drastic of a difference.

Hey yea thats all I did. Practice exams, like a whole pile of them. But don't just do them, learn from them and don't make the same mistake again.
