    Raw marks in hsc

    Feel free to use rawmarks.info to find this stuff out yourself! Approximately 70-75 raw goes to 90 80-85 for 93-94 90-95 to 96-97 I only used 2014-2015 stuff, as it's most likely a better representation than older years.

    Parametrics Question

    $In $\triangle ABC\\AC^2 + BC^2 = AB^2\\t^2+k^2 + y^2 + t^2 = y^2 + k^2 + 2ky\\ t^2 =ky\\y = \frac{t^2}{k}\\$As $OBPC$ is a rectangle, the coordinates of $P$ are$\\x_P = t, y_P = y = \frac{t^2}{k}

    I did the HSC paper, but not the BoS trial.

    How many of you will study 10 units only in HSC?

    Nothing happens at all --- only 3 people in my extension music class and 4 in my music 2 class, we're fine. The only time I see an issue is a performance subject that requires a group performance (Dance, Drama, anything else?). It becomes difficult to do a "group" piece with only 2-3 people.

    Forced to drop to Standard by School

    Look I fully ceebs reading the whole thread but you've got to stop just blaming the school and take at least some responsibility. You slacked off for a year and didn't do well - you can't just expect your school to accept "I promise I'll do better", they want something tangible and your...

    Official BOS Trial 2016 Thread

    If I remember correctly, there's no 2 unit this year as the large majority of the students who turned up in previous years were doing 3u or 4u and not the 2u exam, so it just wasn't worth it

    Encore noms 2016 hsc

    You should be able to record them all separately - every piece that was nominated is a "different" nomination. To be sure you should contact someone from BOSTES, though I'd wager you don't need to one take all of your pieces :p

    Best Calculator?

    Literally for what purpose The most you'll be doing is like 1 question of expanding a single multiplication for 1 mark, which by now you should be able to do easily anyway

    Moderate raw mark for extension 2 mathematics

    Going off the A3 tables and using rawmarks.info, the mean raw mark is around 60. "Good" is subjective, but defining it to be 90th percentile is around 85 raw.

    Best Calculator?

    Does it really matter? As long as your calculator has the basic functions (trig, logarithms, powers, etc.) and is easy for you to use it's great. :p

    Encore noms 2016 hsc

    Encore nominations are as simple as the markers going "this would be good for encore" and writing that on their marking sheet. It has nothing to do with any other performance/composition/unrelated task. I think 20/20 is also an instant nomination, but I'm not sure about that.

    HSC 2016 MX2 Combinatorics Marathon (archive)

    Re: HSC 2016 MX2 Combinatorics Marathon The way I got that was \frac{{27 \choose 8}{19 \choose 12}{7 \choose 6}}{27!} - i.e. choose 8 corners, 12 sides and 6 centers but I feel like I'm missing lots :p

    Rates of Change Question

    $It is given that the volume of the raindrop initially is $10^{-6}m^3$, so we may solve for the initial radius: $\\10^{-6} = \frac43\pi r^3 \implies r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{3\times10^{-6}}{4\pi}}\\$Using part i, we know that $ \frac{dr}{dt} = -10^{-4}$, so $ r = -10^{-4}t + C $ for some constant...

    How many of you will study 10 units only in HSC?

    I've just gotten really good at handling stress. Activities include Snapchat filter rants, rolling around on the floor, covering myself in chairs and making eagle noises Wow I sound like a Disney character
