HSC Extension 2 Mathematics Predictions / Thoughts (4 Viewers)

[turtle67]

I'm feeling confident. Been getting my speed up to finish unseen trials in ~45 minutes so I should have more time on the day to take things slow and steady. Hoping to have plenty of time for the last question - aiming for a state ranking as I missed out on the Ext1 one last year and need that little bit extra to get into med.

45 minutes lol this man is insane

Scope out the last questions in the reading time. If you manage to find a path through (and it is looking like this year's exams may be easier), consider slow down and stop those careless errors.

Yeah that's the goal. Just making it so 'slowing down' for me can still give me maybe an hour at the end to go back over responses

Yes, 2hrs working sounds reasonable. 45 minutes vs 2hr 15 checking would be crazy though!

Yeah haha. That's just working on speed drills, in the exam I'll be going a lot slower hopefully

Does anyone know what raw mark in the exam will land you a band E3 or E4?

rawmarks.info has a weird trend for 4u marks, and some marks seem fake...

Kinda depends on the year... but i have heard numbers for E4 from 65-75+.

Oh dip that's seem achievable. So would a 50 equate to an E3?

Usually it equates to around 80+, but if its a bad year (i.e. everyone did really well) then prolly mid 70's.

I found it pretty difficult - took 2 and a half hours just to finish it and I ended up with mid-90’s
