Raw e4 should be around 83% the more I think about it the more retarded that exam was. Maths is legit,the only exam testing intelligence in the hsc these days otherwise most subjects (not all) a dumbass could just rote learn the syllabus and get a band 6 but now the exams are just super long and less and less using your brain. I don't understand why the news makes it sound like a hard maths exam it's a terrible crime. Exams aren't meant to be completely undoable but now we're just at the other end of the spectrum lol

Yeah for a person who only did last year's paper as practice, this was easy AF except i got the last mc wrong because i am totally and utterly hopeless at perms and comb. But all my answers were pretty much the same as Ngo and Son's. Hoping for a 98! :) the only subject that will drag up my atar HAHA god bless

what would 63-65/70 align to?

not sure if i would lose marks in 14 c iii for not doing 2nd derivative and showing it was a maximum and for question 12 b i for not putting in the x=5 intercept of one of the absolute value graphs. They didn't have it in the solutions but I'm wondering if because it was such an easy paper I would get marked down for that.

Thanks :)

You might get marked down for the derivative since it was 2 marks but since it was q14 they might not take a mark off also you might lose a mark for x = 5 since it said show all intercepts
