The paper is very doable, writing wise, for three hours. If you work non-stop, you can finish writing the entire thing down in less than two hours, leaving over one hour of thinking time.

Just letting you know, Carret, that I was only joking haha!

but yes thinking time needed by us students for a BOS 4u paper needs to be much more than an hour lol.

So that comes down to 36 seconds thinking time per mark. (assuming you don't check your work in the end :/)
By the way, will you be giving us reading time?

I believe she will break the 70's, though a lot of it boils down to time management

i second this.

 

[JustReality]

Wooo

 

[QZP]

Looks like this will fill up very fast...

 

[Kurosaki]

I'd like to join MX2 if there are still any remaining spaces.
A bit undecided for MX1.

What marks would be equivalent for band 6 for 2u and ext 1 in these exams cos I'm getting raped with the previous papers.

Putting BoS trials into perspective (when comparing with the HSC exam)...

I got like 40% for 3U BoS trials (I got like 95%~ for 3U school trials in comparison and ultimately ended up with a 94 hsc mark for 3U and 90 hsc mark for 4U)

I think getting rekt by 3U BoS trials really made me more mentally prepared for the 4U hsc paper~

So don't worry guys if you do terrible in BoS trials. Here, the outcome isn't as important as the actual experience of doing the papers (getting rekt for most people).

Highly recommended!

Quoting from other thread.

Hey Carrotsticks! Got any shortlisted questions that you could post?

I can confirm this.

If you know how to do every question then it can be done without much problem. It's just the knowing what do part that is time consuming.

 

[seventhroot]

Can I do the general one?

Still probably get rekt

 

[fundownsouthi]
