What mark should i be getting on the exam to get an A+??

Hi Guys :)

I'm a bit confused on how to achieve an A+ for the exam on japanese. Around what mark out of 75 should i be getting to get an A+, considering i feel as if i did pretty well on my oral? I'm just a bit confused because somehow on the VCE Statistics it says i need 340/400 marks to get an A+. But how is the japanese exam worth 400 marks??   :o

Thanks in advanced  ;D ;D

If my calculations from 2014 are correct, the exam is 75 marks, but is double marked. That gives 150 marks of the exam. The rest should therefore be attributed to your oral exam marks, where each assessor you sat in front of gives you a mark too.

I just checked the VCE Japanese study design and pages 39 and 40 show you the weighting of the exams. I can't remember the number of marks you must get for an A+, but I think Jibba's left that on the forums somewhere, probably on this thread. Just do the best on your exams and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Well the oral exam is worth a quarter of the exam mark, so that would be 100/400
I'm assuming that therefore, the written exam is /75 but then multiplied by 4 to achieve a total mark /400

Yep, the final exam is out of 300. 75 x 4.

If 340 was the A+ mark from last year, you need 85/100 from both your oral + final exam marks (ie: 21/25 for oral + 64/75 for final)

So if I got 92 on the oral and 67 on the written exam (total of 360/400), what kind of score do you think I could get? Cheers :)
