There's life after the HSC but they didn't want to make a huge difference to the name, lest we confuse it for something good. It's called HECS

That would undoubtedly require 99+ in Advanced English thenSlide Rule said:
SC History was worse
...I didn't mind geography too much, but History was bad - memorise this date, memorise this guy and what he did...pfft. To be honest, I didn't really care about what Jack Lang did or what the Asian Invasion was (being Asian myself).

You worried about the SC!!! and studied for it!! wtf is this? It doesnt count for anything. Looking back now, would you?
Anyway I think my approach would be to take a little bit more time on questions 1-5
about 80 mins, that leaves roughly 30 mins for each subsequent question 6-8. and then perhaps 10 mins at the end for misc.
What was said earlier about most students getting 15/15 for question 1 and 1/15 for question 8 is true. Go to the HSC online site and there is a link reviewing one of the past HSC exams for 4unit and it explains everything there (not Jeff Geha)
Cannot afford to lose easy marks in 4unit. 1-5 should be around 90%+, ~70+/75 and question 6 should not be THAT bad perhaps 10/15 and that is already roughly 80/90 (say 75/90 to be on the safe side, even 70/90) with 2 hard questions left. And say you happen to scab5-10 marks total for both questions, that is 80+/120 and that i assume is a band 6!!
Too easy!! haha

There's no way to tell what 100/120 would align to, but my guess is ~95-96 given that something in the vicinity of 75/120 would probably align to a Band E4. Either way if you can get 100/120, you're doing very welllum said:
.I've done papers from 2000-2004, and based on my marks the most difficult was 2000 and then 2003, followed by 2004, 2001 and 2002. Nevertheless, my marks aren't really anything to go by
- I'm not too sure about pre-2000 papers though.

haha ok, yeah true. Im guessing quite a few of us here did a bit of work in the early days. But good times anyway. yr12 was sooo much better though!Slide Rule said:LaCe, nobody mentioned studying for the SC. Calm down.
And equally, I'm sure you'll look back at the HSC and think "wtf did I study for that?"
haha loved it

84/97/102/85/91 - quite inconsistent really, but I'd be hoping for at least 95/120 in the 2005 exam which should (fingers crossed) align to around 95/100. I was a bit disappointed with my result in 2004 and somewhat so in 2000, but to be entirely honest 2003 just plain drop-kicked meLaCe said:

I remember one guy posting on here who said that his friend got no more than 85/120 and ended up with 93. He may not be a credible source, but hopefully he's right. If he is right, then I think something in the vicinity of 73/120 would align to 90antwan2bu said:

I've done the exact same thing and I'd have to agree with those marks - 2000 was bitchy... as for the papers from 95-99 they are relatively ezy...~ ReNcH ~ said:There's no way to tell what 100/120 would align to, but my guess is ~95-96 given that something in the vicinity of 75/120 would probably align to a Band E4.

And id have to say for 100/120 ur looking at about 96/97, considering top of the state gets about 110-114...
