Easy paper = Higher mark needed for band 6 (2 Viewers)

[Glorious]

No half marks. But let's say a question is worth 4, and you get through some or most of the working, you might get 1 or 2 marks out of four.

But if the question is worth 1, you don't get 0.5 for working. The HSC is whole marks or nothing.

Yes, I was seriously going to stab myself. I can get parts of question 10 right but I couldn't apply the cosine rule properly, despite the fact that I've always applied it right in previous exams. Yes, me the idiot sat there trying to prove the equation whilst forgetting the (x2) ... yes, that's what not writing the equation FIRST does to you. I even put a question mark because me, the genius, thought there was an error! LOL.

As if this was easy... It was harder than any other papers that I did.

You definitely didn't do the 2003 then

Probably 119-120/120.

Probably 119-120/120.

Aw man. I know I dropped at least 1 mark and there'd prob be a few others just based on my practise papers, so there goes that. Still happy, expecting 115+ anyway

lol weh Got Q5 prob wrong awks...and the decibel. Fail weh

Should get around 104/120 without any silly mistakes. IMO its up to par with last years paper, so hopefully cut-off will be ~94 (Y). For the last part of the intensity/decibel question i found how much it increases whenever intensity is doubled, would I get full marks for this?

Guys, the Band 6 cut-off will be just about the same i.e. 94-98/120. Just because question 1-8 were relatively easy to most of us, it doesn't mean that the cut-off will be higher. I mean question 9-10 definitely would have threw off A LOT of us. Expect around the same cut-off.

uhm would 82-90 be enough for a mid band 5?

Hope so

 

[Awkward_Ninja]

Do you reckon 93-95 would be enough for a band 6?
