Sure. Due to difficulty (and possibly other factors, but almost entirely due to difficulty alone), different HSC courses scale very differently. It basically means that an aligned mark of say, 80, in two different courses of different difficulties would yield very different values contributing...

Yeah he's right. A mark of 75 compared to a mark of 90 would barely make a difference to your ATAR because that's how good MX2 scales. Definitely try to improve your shit subjects (I kinda wish I did because could've gotten a much better ATAR, but I didn't need a high one anyway).

<3 Stop stressing. I know exactly how you feel because I had INSANE exam anxiety throughout all of year 11 and 12, especially leading up to the HSC exams. I know it sucks, but I reckon it is worth cramming and studying super hard right now. It's only a short time left and it could help you a...

As long as you've already wrapped your head around the the most important parts of the topics throughout the year, you can get a lot done in 2 days. If you're worried about performing poorly, you could avoid going into great depth into each topic and just make sure you know the basics and...

93 raw (96 aligned) for MX1 and 79 raw (91 aligned) for MX2. The 2015 MX2 exam was a little bit on the easy side, though, when comparing it to the average exam over the past 20 years. Also I come from a rural school with heaps smaller cohorts, too, so that probably had an effect. I reckon the...

I'd be really happy with the syllabus if they didn't remove circle geo from 3u :( Besides that I really like it.

I liked the exam but I'm disappointed by Q14. Solid exam.

For Q15-16, I'd maybe expect circle geo, insane induction, and possibly an unnecessarily long and tedious conics question. Good luck to everyone today!

Man I really don't like much about what they're doing to the maths syllabi. The only things I like are: adding vectors (I would also add matrices alongside them), putting 4u graphs and volumes in 3u, removing conics and adding Euler's formula to 4u (which should've been in already). Are they...

Wtf tell me they didn't remove circle geo! :(

I got an email from UOW and a phone call telling me I'm guaranteed acceptance as long as it's my first preference on Jan 6th (main round). No official offers until then

What would 48/70 scale to?

Anyone got an idea of the E4 cut off this year?
