Difference between a high A+ and a low A+?

If the cut off for an A+ was 65/75, what's considered a high, medium and low A+?  :-\

As in, where should you want to be to score 40 or over?

Hmmm, lets just use this real life example for psychology

Person 1
 SACS = A+
MID YEAR = A+
End of Year = A+
Study score = 50: this person barely dropped any marks throughout the year and ended up with a 50 :D


Person 2
SACS = A+
MIDYEAR = A
End of Year = A+
Study Score = 43: This person made lots of silly mistakes in the midyear, but got there act together for the end of year and dropped only one or two marks, ended up with a 43

Person 3
SACS = A+
MIDYEAR = A+
END OF YEAR = A+
Study Score = 37: Although this person got A+'s, they dropped a lot of marks and there A+'s in both exams were of the lowest quality, for this reason they got a 37

I would assume a 'high A+' would be around 73+/75

you would need to keep this level consistent throughout the whole year in terms of SACs and exams to get 40+

It also depends on the subject
eg for English you can get A A A and get into the 40s
for lotes you can get A+ A+ A+ and mid 30s
For the subjects that chop A+ for exams off at top 10%, generally the lowest you get with straight A+ is 39.

So if you do well in SACs, being just above A+ cut off on average will get you 40+.
