mmm...dunno know- probably.

hey, but also keep in mind that we're speaking "relatively"

 

[worlds greatest]

you guys dont seem to understand
yes: its right to say that its relative
all ruse tests are hard
relatively

you get 90% and u still come last in the grade
i would call that hard

plus exam conditions are much different

I think there's way more competition between ruse students, but the exam conditions are the same as other schools - reading time, closed book etc.
The tough thing is that a 1% difference in marks is equivalent to 20-25 places at ruse. That's what happened in last year's 3u trial. If you got 98%, you came 5th. 97% was 27th or something lol.

Well, relative to other selective school 3U trial papers this yr, i gotta say Ruse paper 2003 was easier... in the sense it does not have any tricky stuff (apart from the encumbrance question that killed a lotta ppl.... and um, that interest question)... probably easy to lose marks for stupid mistakes here and there.

plus ruse people mark harder
one time we were all docked a mark for saying tan^2x=sec^2x - 1
(because thats not the REAL identity, its coz ur SKIPPING lines yadda yadda)

 

[mercury]

yes... half the grade got docked a mark for that. they won't do that in the hsc, well they??? they better not... it's absurd.

hehe i got that mark =p for the sec thingo.. .muahaha.. oh well .. the thrill is ova

yer but the paper isnt too difficult its the competition that sets it apart..
