woo calm down, u didnt really have to have nine steps. But then again all sources are different. I just talked about screening, flocculation, settling, sedimentation and chlorination

lol
You should have asked for another booklet for that questoin
They had to staple it to the answer booklet
Hmm...lol, ah well. Hopefully I can still manage 7/7 for that question...I didn't really miss anything important that I can remember...talked about reflux, use of a catalyst etc. + conditions for fermentation + distillation.

Hopefully something under 75. (although there's 0.000000000000000000001% chance of that happening. :(

Top in the state usually gets 97 or 98 aligned, which is probably only around 95-96 raw...goes to show go strictly they mark the papers. I reckon 90/100 raw would get 95/100, possibly 96. You're doing pretty well just to get in the mid-80s raw - probably the top 3-4%.

You never know...conservatively I'd say ~77-78 though, but it wouldn't surprise me if the cut-off were 75 or 76, but that's probably the lowest it would go.

Has anyone ever gotten a 100? (In any of the sciences)

Not sure...try putting some marks into SAM for 01-03...it'll tell you. I'd imagine that getting 100 would constitute getting 99/100 raw and being rounded up - 100% is extremely difficult, as you would understand.

The only time ive ever heard of someone getting 100 in one of the sciences was back in the old syl. Back in like i think it was 89, someone spok from my school got 100 in EXT2&1 maths, 100 in chem and 99 for physics. But like i said i think hes the smartest person to ever go to my school i dont know what he got in eng or bio.

The Board's Consultative Committee has decided that the only condition from which a 100 examination mark can be awarded is if someone achieves 100% total weighted mark. Even if someone scores 99/100 and the Band 5/6 cut-off is 30/100, they will only get 99.

Didn't Keypad get 100 for MX1? He didn't get a total weighted mark of 100 though did he?

prob 80. I think it was a bit more straight forward but there was still some difficult questions. Especially in that stupid forensics option topic.
I agree.. Most of it was very doable, though I know i made some stupid mistakes.. Forensics was decent on the whole I thought.. Except that the only method I didn't learn was high performance liquid haha.. But i couldnt find a good description anywhere! Oh well, I did a good fudge I think.. Hopefully around 80 for me.

nice post mike, i would agree with u :)
yeh same, mike. i reckon prolly round 78-82 would be the cut off for chem.
there have been other threads on this. search for 90+ chem, and should find it.

and btw, finished HSC!! hahaha, don't do physics. YES!!!
