If the highest mark was 16, then how can the average be 53.33%? Unless there's something that I'm not seeing.
no no, youre not. 16/33 is about 48.5%
=D gotta love topping general maths.
chill out, last year (when i was in the mathematics course) my class literally only had 4 people pass the preliminary. we had all the kids who didnt do extension.
i got 50%(yes, i was one of the 4). i changed states(qld->nsw) midyear and theyre different. so i dropped, but that was more to do with the fact that i find maths incredibly boring and im really much more interested in arts subjects.
but the main thing is, as long as you try in year 11, they let you go to grade 12, pretty much regardless of your result(at least in public schools). and year 11 has no impact on results in grade 12. (thank god) so if you get on top of it by your prelim, youll be absolutely fine.
