Yes, but you will have to get a high A+ on the next exam.

Thanks Eriny

I really thought I had an A+ for this exam. I put everything I had into it.

I am really disappointed, I don't know what else I could've done to achieve that allusive A+.

Yeah, the gap between A and A+ in work quality is quite small, but as results go up it's exponentially harder to get certain scores. What I mean by this is that few things differentiate A from A+, but in order to get the extra few marks that bump your A to an A+ is hard to get. I hope that's understandable.

In any case, remember that everything in VCE is graded on a curve, which means that you have to beat a very high percentage of people in order to get the higher marks. An A itself is quite an achievement, even though it's very frustrating to not get the A+.

If it helps, it's usually much easier to score higher on the end of year exam because by that stage, many more students have 'given up' and you know more about what's expected of you.

What if we miss the A+ mark by 1 mark? Do we still need to get a high A+ on the next exam?

  Your grade is arbitrary, it's the sum of your results over the 2 exams which matters

Really Bubble? That makes me feel a lot better. So if I went to the grade distributions on VCAA and added up both unit 3 and 4 for 2007, the range I would get for A+ is what I need to aim for in my next unit 4 exam?

i'm the same as you. i got an A but thought i gave it everything. at the end of the day you can't change your mark, you can only hope that you will score higher on the end of year exam. i still hope to get over 40 as well..
