I guess it only really depends on how you put it. Stop being a drama queen dude - a 42+ raw only needed an 80.8% score last year. You're fine![/url]

What do you mean to get 42 raw you only needed 80.8? How do you find that out?

VCAA publish their grade distributions at

This tells you what sort of scores you need for a certain grade.
It's not 42. It's "drop 11 marks in BM and get a ~40 raw".
This is very favourable. a 20% A+ range is MASSIVE when compared to other more competitive subjects.
Again, too many duds do BM, which is good for us generally (sorry to those that thought it was hard, don't be offended, I mean those that don't try at all).
I think the most easiest marks lie in the elements of an operations system. 4 marks for free! Inputs, Processes, Outputs. What's so hard?!

95% of people doing bus man would be duds. That definately was 4 marks for free! Bus man is embarrassingly easy...
Yeah I know about the grade distributions, I'm just interested as to how you can work out "40 raw" derives from losing 11 marks? Sorry if this sounds dumb but I don't understand how you worked that out.

You're not the only one Nick, I don't know either :oops:

This is like terribly nerdy... so here goes! (I'm turning into coblin)...
Odette, you do further. VCAA's Study Scores are normally distributed with a mean (average) of 30, and a standard deviation of 7.
If you use a calculator, the probability of getting above 40 is approximately 10%.
In most subjects, the chance of getting an A+ is also 10%.
So, we can similarly conclude that 10% of people get A+ and get 40.
Consequently, as the cut-off for a BM A+ is dropping 11 marks, hence dropping 11 marks almost assures you of a 40.
Unfortunately, VTAC rectifies that absurd situation though by immediately kicking you in the groin, saying "LOL!!!" a couple of times, kicking you in the groin again and then scaling you down three points for good measure.
This only affects about 51% of the BM population, however. The other 49% simply get scaled down three points.
