damn, was rooting for you

Agh sorry to let you all down. Hopefully you’ll see my name in the physics state ranks instead ahah

just gotta put the maths behind me and do as well as I can, who knows

 

[YonOra]

how did you check your marks? are the solutions leaked somewhere

I assume teachers will go through the paper and give answers. That's what my friends did, at least.

Hey, I checked my marks and it looks like I'll end up with a 96 or 97/100 depending on how generous they're feeling, so sadly no state ranking for me.
Cheers for asking tho

still smashed it! good job mate. good luck for all your other exams!!

Cheers! Not sure if you’re sitting this year, but if you are, good luck too

...and SMH has another article on the last question of the Maths Ext2 paper just like last year

It's the hardest question in the HSC. Could you solve it?

This year's brain-teaser was an "integration" problem: the technique used to figure out the area or volume of unusual shapes or curves. Whether you could crack it determined 11 per cent of your total mark.

Since when did Question 16 get such a downgrade.. Literally questions almost exactly like this have been asked in many trial papers..

Yeah standard textbook question really. Should have been either vectors or proofs.

should be, i cant imagine the e4 cutoff being anymore than 81-83.

83 just scrape a 90 or could i get a 92+

Maybe, 83 will likely get a 90-92 so it’s possible

It all depends on the nesa judges on each question. But I reckon roughly counting there are 9 marks that would be difficult for a student at the borderline between bands to complete + 1 miscellaneous question + 4 careless mistakes, so I'd say the most likely outcome is an 83 alignment to a 90 mark although it is possible for it to be a little higher.
