assuming 2008 paper was comparable to the 2006 paper, i thought this quote was interesting... does it surprise anyone else?
comes from someone who did extension one in 2006 [called Trebla].

"When I did the Extension 1 paper last year, I was pretty sure I got a raw mark of around 75/84, and that's assuming that I got everything that I attempted correct (I left out about 9 marks - and they were all from Question 6 lol). Unfortunately, I got a little too confident that I could possibly get 100 after getting out every question too easily and then I got to Question 6........
RIP my confidence...lol

Anyway, I ended up with 97 as my aligned exam mark with at most 75/84 raw mark last year...so go figure...."

I reckon the guy got lower than he thought. ie, <75/84.

*Looks around* omfg wtf thats me!!! lol

I still stand by that comment for the 2006 paper lol...But seriously, all the marks I screwed up were from Question 6. I pretty much nailed the rest without difficulty(including Question 7).

I'm not quite sure what you find so surprising about my estimated raw mark...

Do you have any idea what you got raw in 4u?

Lol hi. I just think usually we all make some mistakes we don't know of. And 9 marks lost is just what you are certain of, it may well be possible you lost more marks. And also I think the moderation was quite low if you got 75/84. Just slightly.

Well, the 2006 paper was supposedly "very hard", so there may have been this so called "special marking" implemented. I guess I probably did get 75/84 or very close around it, because any lower would have bumped it off 97.
I did have a lot of confidence in my answers though, more so than usual for that paper (I thought all the questions were easy except for Question 6 lol) which was a huge contrast to when I did the Extension 2 paper 2006, which was a bit of a nightmare. The paper was really easy (I managed to attempt every question with reasonable depth at the very minimum, but with less confidence in them) and I knew I had made far too many stupid mistakes....
