Hopefully… we will have to wait and see.Yeah the 2020 was quite a breeze. 2013 wasn’t that bad at all, and 75 was scaled to a band 6. I reckon the cutoff will probs be 73 (maybe) but more close to 74-75 imo
It should be noted that 2013 was probably the same difficulty as today's exam. From a quick look at the questions with my old-syllabus hat on, it honestly seemed to be a difficult paper, back in 2013. I think we can expect very similar scaling as you said.
thats horrid
praying u r right
Q25 is the exact sort of mistake that everyone should be checking for after each answer by asking yourself "is my answer reasonable?" As several people have noted, turning $8,000 into over $60,000 in 8 years at less than 1% interest pa = unreasonable. Just like the normal distribution / number of babies question, where the given answer is also obviously unreasonable.
Is it just mean, or is the arithmetic in 26(b) wrong? isn't it
I find it leans toIs it just mean, or is the arithmetic in 26(b) wrong? isn't it?
Then by default, it has to beOops, I'm wrong... I read their working for the time as
but I have misread and it is actually

Yes and No.Then by default, it has to befor the velocity as the particle reaches the ground noting that the negative represents slowing down.
Yeah to add on to this, does anyone know if the HSC marks include error carried forward within questions. Like if we got a wrong value but used it in the right formula would we get 1 mark out of 2?
Yeah I think they do carry on if you get the wrong answer but still do correct working out (i.e they give you pity marks)
Yes, so long as you don't oversimply the question is so doing.
yea
