    Mathematics - General thoughts on the exam

    cut offs change roughly each year with how hard BOS sees the test and how everyone did. each year 85+ (102/120) will pretty much set you up for a nice band 6. so if you get 95ish youll be looking at a easy 83/84+ id say, this is going off past people i know and what my tutor did with post...

    Mathematics - General thoughts on the exam

    Doing badly in 3 unit Maths?

    Look at your rank more than your actual mark, are you in a big school or a small school? Does it do really well or not that great? This is because many schools have different skill levels in their test papers. I changed schools in Year 11 and was no lower than second there, at my new school im...

    Thanks for that! Yeah no offence to the drama and especially economics classes last year, but they didnt shape up too well. 3 people got 89 then it crashed from there. Teachers weren't impressed at all, and are relying on our year. We've got some definate freaky smart people, especially a boy in...

    Maths vs. English

    Maths shouldn't be compulsary, but English shouldn't be either. It is ridiculously unfair in the UAIs, where a person could be doing say 4u maths, physics, chem, economics, english adv (12units) and get a band six in all these subjects, except english which may be low band 5 or so, and it drags...
