Hey guys , I just did the last question for 2010 hsc ext 2 paper and I was wondering a) what the average mark people would have gotten and b) how many people (roughly) would have gotten 15/15 or maybe even 14/15?

Thanks in advance

 

[Axio]

I'm guessing you got 15.

 

[seventhroot]

not many in general.

iirc that was the one with the funny integrals and inequalities? I think i got like 4/15 for that

 

[faisalabdul16]

Only a few will manage to get all of question 8

Dw about others.

 

[Carrotsticks]

About five or six people at most would have gotten 14/15 or full marks.

The state rank cut-off was lower that year compared to others.

 

[Carrotsticks]

Oh and average mark was 2/15 iirc.

Oh and average mark was 2/15 iirc.

yay! I am above average

Imo, i reckon when students saw question 8, they probably didn't even bother attempting it. They probably skimmed through it and tried to scab any marks and then probably left it and fixed the rest of their paper.

basel problem

If your strong at integration and can deduce inequalities, then it should be a piece of cake

What is usually the state rank cutoff?

What is usually the state rank cutoff?

Roughly 95% raw upwards.

the average at a top 5 selective school for that question was 1.9 out of 15.

source = teacher at that school

I still don't see why it was so low.

below state average

I still don't see why it was so low.

Probably because people were like "wtf" and didn't even bother doing the question. Plus little time to do it maybe?

It actually wasn't that bad of a question, but yeah like you said today "Don't be scared" hahaha

Pretty funny tho considering they tell you to use IBP twice which should by itself net you 4 marks .
and the last q ~should~ be easily picked up

actually my bad, our school's average was 2.9 and state average was like 2 iirc (trying to remember what my teacher said... :/)

I still don't see why it was so low.

people got scared by the question and in exam pressure, barely attempted it, and thus went back to more easy to grasp questions which they hadn't got out yet.

they told you how to do it, but people were still intimidated.... esp. after doing preliminary thingo that needs to be done before actual IBP process....

One could at least get 2 marks there, marking would have probably been lenient a bit.

It's pretty crazy that only a handful students managed to get the question as carrot said
