For the statement of marks,

Do they tell you what you got for each question. ie 4/5

or just the total number of marks you achieved on the whole exam.

Cheers

They tell you both :)

My friend got

B+(midyear mark) A (SAC mark) A+(end of year mark) = 36

So aim for an A/A+?

Looking over the statistics,
For biology, the ratio of females to males is 1.93 : 1
For physics, the ratio of females to males is 1 : 3.22
For psychology, the ratio of females to males is 2.79 : 1

I reckon that's pretty interesting!

Not necessairily, it all depends on how High or Low your A and A+ was.

Even a low A could still get you around the 37-39 mark

I should've done physics instead of bio :P

Mao or Dcc, just wondering, have either of you posted your marks on VN or not?
Just can't remember seeing them.

O really

So you are telling me that I got a B without scalling in chemistry. Omg.

This is something.

To make sure I have understood this

Lets say the exam was out of 100.  I got 70/100 which is the B I got without being moderated against other people.

that is correct. exam scores are not statistically moderated.
however, also keep in mind that statistical moderation is not scaling.

statistical moderation is changing SAC scores (a GA) according to exam scores.
scaling is changing study scores according to competition and "difficulty".
completely different things, neither of which involve directly changing exam scores.

exam scores does NOT change.
