    Maths Ext 2 Predictions/Thoughts

    I don't think it's usually available this early after the exam; it may become available a few days after.

    Math Advanced Prediction/Thoughts

    You won't get your raw marks for the HSC exams unless you want to pay to view your exam. I think it's about $50-70, so not the cheapest in that regard. I don't really see any benefit to it, as universities will consider your HSC mark (if you are looking to get bonus points for specific courses).

    Maths Ext 2 Predictions/Thoughts

    I had a feeling that since last year's exam was quite easy, they would bump it up this year.

    Math Advanced Prediction/Thoughts

    Wow ... seems like they decided to ramp up Standard 1/2 and Advanced this year, hopefully 4U isn't as bad (although I'm assuming that as last year's exam was probably the easiest one in a while, they may make this one more tough).

    Help please

    I won't be able to give you specific feedback on those subjects, but I can give you some general feedback. 1) Try not to worry about your maths performance; easier said than done, but it is now in the past, and all you can change is your preparation to maximize your marks in Biology and...

    new vs old syllabus past papers

    I believe the old syllabus had topics like circular motion and conics, which has been replaced with a heavy focus on vectors.

    Done ... definitely a very interesting concept you have chosen, especially considering that today's society is pretty much enveloped in social media

    Doesn't sound good based on the thread so far ... what were the hardest topics in the exam?

    Maths Ext 2 Predictions/Thoughts

    Don't underestimate how important working out is ... if you can't get the final answer for a 4 mark question but can show your logic and significant progress, you can get 2-3 marks for it, which is much better than spending more time worrying about it and losing out on other potential marks.

    Illiness misadventure period pain?

    I'd recommend reading this document --> https://smithshill-h.schools.nsw.gov.au/content/dam/doe/sws/schools/s/smithshill-h/localcontent/hsc_illness_misadventureformnesa.pdf (the official NESA illness or misadventure application) as there's so many different scenarios and I don't want to give you...

    Help probability

    So with c), you obviously have to use part b), as stated in the question. So now, you have the lengths of the 3 sides of the triangle (1000m, 2000m and whatever x is from the previous part; MAKE SURE to use the exact value of x though). Using the cosine rule, given 3 sides of a triangle, you can...

    Help probability

    Oh yh, I see my mistake. I thought he was playing the game and had to pay $3.50, but he owns it, so people pay him $3.50 instead to get average returns of $2.85.

    Help probability

    If he is paying $3.50 per game and is getting a payout of $2.85, wouldn't that be a loss of $0.65 instead of a profit?

    Help probability

    I'm getting $130 loss, but that doesn't seem right. Do you have the answers on you by any chance?

    This should hopefully address your question: The Top Achievers in Course List shows the students in the top places in each course, provided they have also achieved Band 6 or Band E4, as appropriate. The number of students reported depends on the course candidature (see table below). Students...

    Dual State Ranker Tutoring: English Adv (98), Extension 1 (50), Extension 2 (48)

    Having gone to a selective school, I think only 3 people out of ~215 didn't do Maths or any sciences, so this takes a lot of dedication and rote-learning. The amount of words you would have to write would literally kill me, I reckon, if I had to do these subjects.

    maths tomorrow

    94% is a very good internal mark, and being ranked 2nd internally will only be beneficial to you. Although your final exam mark will remain with you (and of course, there will be scaling), you are looking comfortable for mid Band 6 territory (if you can get 85 raw in your exam tomorrow).

    Math phrasology

    As has been said above, I also got 16/28 (excluding 5 who don't play either instrument and 7 who play both). The question asks for EITHER, and I would assume as the previous part was BOTH, you wouldn't include the 7 who play both.
