Anyone know the A+ cut-off for the last couple of years?

Just did the '08, just want to know if I was anywhere near good enough for an A+


Thanks :)

So seriously, what do you guys think is better. Should i type up a pro cheat sheet and colour code it OR hand write it?

I prefer hand written for reasons I cannot seem to explain

I reckon typing is better. It will usually end up easier to read and depending on your handwriting, can squeeze a lot of stuff on there while keeping it easy to read and neatly formatted.

It will also allow you to edit it as you go through trial exams.

But really, a packed with information cheatsheet probably won't be of much help. I reckon it's better to try to keep as little stuff as possible on your cheatsheet. With every few trial exams I do, I've been deleting chunks of information on my cheatsheet off; the stuff I didn't use etc.

The best cheatsheet I've seen is probably Killerkob's one, which was uploaded here:
http://vce.atarnotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,33769.msg352403.html#msg352403
It's neatly formatted and has only the essential stuff on there.

It takes a while to type and colour code a cheatsheet. Especially mine :s

Thanks :)

I have a spreadsheet found from vicphysics containing the marks required for each grade. It's a shame it doesn't let me upload .xls!

But here is the download link for it, I believe it is from the chief examiner himself. http://www.vicphysics.org/documents/events/stav2008/Grades.xls

2010: Systems Engineering 44            

2011: Specialist Mathematics 37 | Mathematical Methods (CAS) 43 | Physics 39 | Chemistry 42 | English 41

ATAR: 98.50

2012: Eng/Law @ Monash

I am typing, printing then highlighting.

I'd usually handwrite, but by handwriting is large and atrocious.

The time put in is worth it. My methods summary is handwritten, colourcoded AND indexed with cut in tabs.
It's saved me on many occasion.
