yeahh it would be good if people could list trial papers they have found hard so that others can give them a go. tbh i find the ruse ones the hardest

Sydney Grammar 2010 - Q 6 (the 3 mark question)
CSSA 2007 - Question 7 (binomial theorem question)
2010 Sydney Boys

those are sum good papers off the top of my head. sydney boys was not hard overall but it was a weird paper.

What did you guys get in the 1996 HSC paper?
I went really badly.

Also, what do I need for 97-98?

I was thinking of doing something similar if I get the time.

Here's a nice 3u question if anybody is up for a challenge.

Need advice for 3u. My marks are usually around 63-70, but I can never break that 70 barrier. Although I reckon I could push it past there with some more practice, does anyone have any exam tips that will maximise marks?

Thanks

Where are you losing most of your marks?

If it's silly mistakes then find ways to type answers into the calculator for double checking.
If it's time practice to get quicker.
If it's a specific topic I guess go back to the textbook.

I usually make 1-2 marks of silly mistakes (is this too much?)
It takes me about 50 minutes to get up to question 5.
And I think the main source of error is not knowing how to do some of the questions, but then I look at the answers an I'm like "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

 

[alstah]

I get 64/84 on my good days lol and it usually takes me the whole 2 hours

Whats the raw mark cut off for a band 6?

 

[hscishard]

I still haven't sat down and tried one. Hoping for 95+ hsc mark, what raw mark is that (percentage or x/84)?

1-2 marks of slip ups is fine.
Just sit down with a few Q7s and work at them till you get it without the answers. It will drive you insane but they will start to get easier.

In 2010, 74/84 --> 96.6 HSC. http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=254094

93-94

Hey not trying to call you out or anything, genuinely curious, are you sure of this? Does anyone have some legit data on what raw marks are normally required for 93-94? Just because 65 seems kinda low...

Cheers

If you don't believe us then don't believe us. It says in all the raw mark threads.

No I do believe you! I'm looking for links etc
