So 98 is my aligned mark, and as Drdusk said, my raw mark would be around 95%, I'm not sure what my exact raw mark is though

Standard doesn't affect your atar too much, I got: Standard English - 87 Maths 3u - 99 Maths 4u - 98 Chemistry - 89 Physics - 91 and I ended up with an atar of 98.70. Getting a 90+ atar with standard english is pretty much as doable as getting a 90+ atar with advanced english

Prairiewood is in the area as well, and their rankings are not too bad

Hey everyone, Ngo and Sons have typed up the solutions for the entire MX1 (3U) paper that was conducted today. The link to the worked solutions is here: ngoandsons.com.au/hsc-solutions Maths is finally done for all of you :) I hope you all did well!

Hey everyone, Ngo and Sons have typed up the solutions for the entire MX2 (4U) paper that was conducted today. The link to the worked solutions is here: ngoandsons.com.au/hsc-solutions Good luck everyone :) I hope you all did well!

yes it's possible, i know many people that have got 99 & 100 without tutoring

14 units is definitely a lot, however, if you genuinely enjoy all 14 units and have the time to study for all your units, then it is okay. I knew a people who have done extremely well in the HSC with 14 units.

can't do the question right now but i assume that this is how you do it: since x^3 + 3ax^2 + 3bx + c = 0 has a double root then this means that p(x) = x^3 + 3ax^2 + 3bx + c has a double zero. let this double zero be y. then p(y) = 0 and p'(y) = 0. this means that y^3 + 3ay^2 + 3by + c = 0 and...

$\log_2(\log_3(x)) = 5 \Longrightarrow \log_3(x) = 2^5 \Longrightarrow x = 3^{2^5}$

Around 30%, as I needed to study for English, Chemistry and Physics as well :(

don't worry, my school's rank was 250+ and I still managed to get a decent atar, just make sure you get good rankings

Without 95+ there is little chance. Someone I know got right below 95 and didn't get an offer

In my year, they dropped the ATAR requirements by 4 points (to 95) for guaranteed entry into optometry for EAS

^ If you underperform in trials, but your overall ranking is still fine, then you will be okay

Not doing well in your trials will definitely impact your ATAR, but you can still work hard for the HSC exams, which may result in an 80+ ATAR.

If you don't have enough time to memorise all the content and do multiple past papers, you should definitely consider trying to do as much of a past paper as possible. If you are stuck, only then do you get out your notes and then answer the question

English and Physics - I did better in the actual HSC Everything else - I did better in the trials But I didn't do a lot better, only better by like a few %

I deactivated during trials and during the HSC exam period, it definitely helped as I procrastinated less

98.5

tan(pi/4 + x) = (tan(pi/4) + tan(x))/(1 - tan(pi/4)tan(x)) (tan expansion formula) = (1 + tan(x))/(1 - tan(x)) = (cos(x) + tan(x)cos(x))/(cos(x) - tan(x)cos(x)) (multiplying the top and bottom by cos(x)) = (cos(x) + sin(x))/(cos(x) - sin(x))
