i think minimus band 5 would be around 77/120, and band 6 88/120

awesome, i have high hopes now

anyone else think it would get a band 5?

In 2003, apparently a 72/120 alligned to 83%.
And am I right in saying this year's paper was by far the hardest in the last decade or two?
So, *Looks optomistic* Somewhere in the 70's.

haha cmon guys it wasnt that bad, was really an average paper, just maybe a little trickier haha....rollercoaster question tripped me out a bit but i figured out what u had to do after 5 minutes, it was actually pretty easy but it made u think

anyways, im not trying to appear cocky or boast but what range of aligned marks would 105-115 fall into?

thanks haha

i estimate band 5 cut off at 70/120...

lol definitely harder than last year....

That would be awesome, but I doubt it. We would be lucky if anything in the 80's made it to a band 6.

I hope so. Can kiss goodbye to hopes of a band 6.

mR sinister · 27 Oct 2009, 5:31 PM

BUT,
im estimating your internal maths mark to be around 66.
With a low band 5 mark in HSC.

You will probably have a total of low band 4 for maths

nah man, you will do good, i estimate 95+ ATAR

Considering the difficulty of this exam is harder compared to the other years, yes? This kinda gives me hope for a band 5 at least. I can say goodbye to band 6.

Don't exaggerate it's difficulty. Try looking at 2003, or q10's from 2000 or 2001.

najib__nicholas · 27 Oct 2009, 5:33 PM

so if i was to get like an estimated 93/120... what am i looking at ?

nah 01 and 03 papers were not that bad, I mean it was only question 10's... there were some weird questions in this paper, I was thinking of grinding through the first 8 then do 9 to make up for my mistakes and try 10a, but my whole planned was ruined! lol, I got stuck at 4, then at 6 and 7b, I was like what the heck I have no time arghh... + HSC,, they really destroyed us lol.

I didn't find this paper too hard except that fact that it took a longer time to complete than past hsc 2u

ashokkumar · 27 Oct 2009, 5:37 PM

I liked this years exam.

Every year the hard questions seem to be crammed into Q9&10, where I'd have little to no hope of answersing, whereas this year the difficulty was spread out between the questions, and made this paper unique.

The fact most past papers allow you to finish 1 - 7 in an hour made me paranoid on this paper, the time spread was so much different.

Expecting 95 - 100 / 120,

Any idea what it'd come out as?

arjiparji · 27 Oct 2009, 5:43 PM

95/120 = 93-95%
100/120 = 95%
