smurf. you fail to notice the general trend of everyone talking about the physics exam here? most people say the exam was easy but then: everyone who has done q2q thought it was hard. everyone who did every other option thought it was easy. I doubt everyone that did q2q happens to be...

smurfwow the fact that people that did q2q went better in the main part and worse in the option does matter. because they have to standardise all non-common content. ie the options and the only way they can do that is by using the rest of the test. and it makes sense to assume the people...

macca i would put your experience down to bad skiiing technique. Your skiies tend to pull you around at high speed if you haven't got proper control and that sideways force of an edge biting is often thought to be your skies getting bogged because in the stiff boots it almost feels like its...

what i forgot to add in my post before was the reason why a lot of you guys might think they don't scale the marks. The new HSC didn't get rid of scaling it got rid of standardising to bell curves which is what they used to do. so marks will still be adjusted but they won't be adjusted to fit...

ummm they have to standardise the options. they don't make them all worth the same. they compare how you went in the rest of the test to how you went in your option and adjust the means and standard deviations accordingly. since its not common it must be standardised to ensure fairness. eg...

unless you are interested in putting all your eggs in the maths basket i wouldn't be particularly keen on doing 4 unit if you expect to go poorly and hope scaling will save you. the bottom marks in 4 unit is bad just like any other subject. if you get below 30% scaling won't help you much at...

raser: you left out the integration constants when you integrated twice. without them you get 0. with them you get 1/(N+2) which is the right answer

oh one more thing i forgot to mention. in question 7 a iii did everyone else get y = -ln([x+ root(x^2 - 4)]/2) the negative at the beginning being the important part. i added it after i'd done the question because i figured its the only way i could make the inverse fuction be negative...

well i got to the same school as blackjack and mclake. and if i guess right both of them are in my maths class :] sounds like you went ok guys. i found this test about on par to the 3unit papers i'd done before. i've done the test twice now. (i did it again when i got home) and so far i...
