any last minute tips

Enjoy. Don't take it too seriously.

Re-read the questions, highlight important terms.

Make your mathematical calculations extremely clear so you dont waste trying to interpret them and by extension the marker.

Have time thresholds for each section e.g Finish MCQ by 11:20 pm, Finish section A by 12:10 pm .. and just make sure you're on progress.

If not on progress, skip the question and move on, your usually panicked by then and just coming back is helpful.

Do not waffle, always make sure you plan what you write before writing to avoid this.

I'll be rooting for all of you subconsciously, all the best

lol our deputy is a hsc marker/judge/writer for hsc and he called the entire cohort to give us a lecture on the amount of fluffing people did for the extended response.

Gets so horrendous when the 9 marker starts to look like an actual essay

At most its supposed to be a mini-essay, you should be more than fine given you cite mathematical laws, important caveats, diagrams etc. and use proper jargon. Always plan out your 6+ mark question and know what you're going to specifically address, how you're going to do it and by extension what you will use to do so (e.g Planck's law, rayleigh's curve...).

These questions felt kind of felt very doable if you followed this guide IMO, the problem is most students just get overwhelmed trying to think of something as they go which is a horrendous strategy. This isn't a calculation question, this is you showing the marker you not only know physics but you can communicate it.

All the best man.

Jesus Im scared for mine in two years

Edit: (2024 me) Scared for mine in one year

if we have a long response is it fine to split it into headings like in chem or should we try to make it one long response

 

[IDontUseThis]

Good luck guys we've got this

That’s fine, I sometimes do that

 

[carrotsss]

Good luck everyone

 

[Masaken]

Good luck to all the Phys students!!

wait i’ve always been confused, do i start my responses by rewording the question like in english, or do you just yo straight into the content ?

 

[natsnapshoot]

Good luck Physics kids!

 

[qldbulls]

Guys I haven’t studied physics all year and have done 0 past papers I don’t know any content do I still have enough time to band 6???

 

[scaryshark09]

how was it?

 

[Hudz777]

best physics paper ever !!!!!
so much math i loved it xx
mc was a lil unusual but it was great

 

[CHarmon]

Piss easy test. Why did I torment myself these past few week? Thanks NESA!

 

[notme123]

hope you guys made yourselves stand out

 

[Alamjot]

calm but I'm just pissed I messed up 7 marker, id still say last years was easier tho

 

[Interdice]

Piss easy
