How's everyone doing for maths? (1 Viewer)

Doing past HSC papers, started from 2011, now at 2005 for both 2u and 3u. Am I behind?

It really is subjective as to the amount of past papers an individual does, I started at 1988 and worked my way up to 2011 for 3u, 1999-2011 for 2u and a crapload of trial papers from a multitude of schools, Maths is just so relaxing to do in comparison to other subjects

Your post just made me a pessimist

How are your marks and what mark are you aiming for?

Got 98 for 2u and 91 for 3u in trials, aiming for maybe 95+ if not 90+

Raw or scaled? If so, isn't 96-98 a state ranking?

Lol for me, doing 2u maths is not the best allocation of my time haha. A lot of people (including me) prob use doing maths (2u/3u) as an excuse for not focusing on other subjects =D

My school doesn't scale trials (if that's normal). I don't think 98% gets you state ranks though, prob way too many people getting 100 across nsw, for 2u at least

i would think you'd need like 100 for state ranking lol
i've done 2002-2011 and probably 5 from 1990-2001 so far. i procrastinate by doing maths papers... you have plenty of time to get through some more papers but i'd focus more on the harder questions

That is true, you're right.

I can only get up to question 3 for ex.1, then I give up and move on...

Wow, I am so screwed.

I've completed 2001-11 for the HSC MX1 papers, I've gotten fairly decent results hovering around ~80%. I'm aiming to re-do all of them and get at least 95%, although really I should be getting about 100% since I've already gone through the solutions when marking.

For MX2, I've gone through from 2000-11 but I'm not getting results that I'm hoping for. I'd say my average over the 12 papers is about ~50-60%. Q7 and 8 are killing me.

I'm aiming to go through the MX2 papers again, then start going through some trial papers.
