Alignment has nothing to do with difficulty of one subject vs another. It is more to do with whether you meet certain standards/criteria for a certain HSC mark band. This is done so that the marks are comparable between years for the same subject. Don’t confuse alignment with scaling. They are...

Bump. Had put up a poll.

Hi all, With the HSC exams done, just want to see if there is interest in having an in-person meet up event (in Sydney area). For background, this was something that used to happen regularly many years ago on BoS, which helped build a strong sense of community and even some friendships...

Generally I would avoid this type of structure because it is susceptible to logical flaws and it is not really a well argued “proof” if you start with the statement you are trying to prove in the first place. In fact, some arguments in the converse direction may not actually be true. A classic...

I think what he means is that it is technically problematic/sloppy notation to multiply the vector by i (e.g. it is notationally problematic to say i*PQ) because you’re not actually multiplying the vector itself by a complex number. You’re actually multiplying the complex number representing the...

Yes. The exact mark is stored in the database, but in the HSC report it is displayed as a rounded whole number.

It will "visually" appear as 37/50 on your report. However, the underlying mark is actually 36.5/50 (i.e. it is treated as lower than someone who actually got 37/50).

I see what I sent to nsw.wollongong was shared around. Perhaps worth clarifying to everyone that if you actually read the whole thing properly, I said this was about the non-school forums. Just thought I would clarify this since the above was quoted out of context. The school forums are subject...

Apologies for the delays behind the scenes in getting this out, but finally here are the marks for the Physics BoS trials! Congrats to the two students who tied with the top mark of 59! The marks were very close and bunched up with very small gaps between the bulk of the students. I just want...

... and finally what you all have been waiting for 💥 Here are the marking guidelines and sample answers for Physics! Thank you for your patience. Please also note that the question paper has been updated (which these solutions are aligned to) with some minor adjustments to a few questions...

Yes, we all get the meaning of

Stop derailing the thread guys

You do realise that a lot of 2023ers have already uploded stuff in our Notes and Resources section? https://boredofstudies.org/resources/ Also, current HSC students can also upload their resources there as well.

This looks really bad out of context (PS: look up a South Park episode called "T.M.I")

Yeah I organised a BBQ last year. Was great to meet a lot of people on person (including jimmy)! We used to do BoS meetups more frequently in pre-covid years. Happy to organise something if enough people are keen to meet up post-HSC.

Boom! Business Studies results and the marking criteria/sample answers are attached below! :) Thank you to everyone who attended to the event and attempted the paper. Congrats to the top student who scored 88 in the paper! Thanks heaps to @jimmysmith560 for helping to write the paper and...

Let me be very clear here. This forum obviously has a lot of unpopular opinions and we have no issues with having diversity of opinions. I could not care less which side of the argument you are on. You all have your own personal biases and this is very obvious when viewed by an outsider (whether...

It depends on whether we (still) have people who are prepared to write and mark them. These events are supported by large volunteer efforts. As long as that is sustained and there is student demand for it then we can keep this going in future years.
