The HSC 2U maths exam is out of 120, so do you mean 88/120? If so that would prob get you about an 82-83. Im pretty sure that band 6 (90) usually equals about 100-105/120, and on a really easy paper (e.g. 2008) i think it would have been about 109/120.
I think 98+ is band 6

I did terrible - 78/120. But that's 2nd in my Adv Maths class (Out of 9)

For Ext1 I got 36/84....even worse :(
That's 3rd out of 4

Maybe I should study.
Hehe, I beat campbell in 3U ^_^ (I'll have to check for more errors which he would have made marking it!)

Yeah, even 60% raw for mxt2 could be a band 6 ;)
Seeing a few peoples results, I've noticed that 60% (not 60 marks) will just about scrape a band 6 in MX2... although of course... we'll all aim higher! :D

P.S. I start MX2 next week :) w00t.

Yes, scrape unless your mxt2 ability improved before the HSC ^^

Hehe, awesome congrats!

Most people are at a consensus that a 60/84 (approximately) will get you an E4 in Mathematics Extension 1. :D
nice =D
does that fluctuate much depending on what school you go to?
(my school is generally at the lower end of the top 100, and is quite small... MX1 class is 8 ppl)

wow, thats pretty darn good.
this year apparently, an accelerated kid toped our folks doing 2 unit, he got 118.
Isn't that normal for accelerants? I topped my CSSA Trial last year with 119 and the 2nd place was by fellow accelerant who got 112.

oh sorry i meant hsc mark (assessment and hsc result combined) 88 out 100. (raw).. would that increase?

Your school rank has nothing to do with it really. It's just about getting a decent internal rank and then going respectively well with the rest of the state! :D

This is what people have estimated their marks to be around and it on numerous tutoring websites which give rather detailed information about the aligning and scaling processes.

I'm still a bit unsure by what you mean there but if you meant :

-you walked into the exam and got 88/120 ( remember the 2U exam is out of 120) then im guessing you would get about 82-84 HSC MARK, something around there.

-if you mean, 88/100 (ie. 88% of the marks) or 105.5/120 (raw) then you would get anywhere between 90-92 HSC MARK on most papers.

So then the HSC MARK (external e.g 92) is summed with your internal mark (say 90)

and you get (90+92)/2= 91 Overall mark for the subject. Hope that helps

Yeah, it's sad in a way. But i don't think you'll be affected heaps. Just get a good HSC mark then see what happens.
