yeahh thats true. well ill still keep it as a last ditch attempt tho bc a gamble is better than leaving it blank

 

[Dzeeshr]

can someone clarify: can I write graphs in pencil?

 

[Clai]

honestly im not too sure. i dont think u can for hsc but i think ur school would let you for internal exams. u should ask a teacher

yeah it says use a black pen for the hsc, so i dont think u can do graphs in pen for the hsc. but this is for finals

you can but it has to be 2b tho

My teacher said retrace in pen but if I don’t have to then I won’t

i posted these questions in the gc chat but no one saw it lol so:

yk how ur not meant to be using your calculator during maths reading time? you can look at ur formula sheet right?


also if it gets to that point, id probs be desperate and do it anyways but for questions where it tells u not to do any further working out and draw the graph or smth from what you have alr worked out, will you just not get the marks if u have to use more working out to do the Qn?

Just do the working out in the multiple choice section, they can’t stop you doing that I suppose

they will never say "don't do more working out" besides "Do not prove" which is just there so you don't waste your time

5 mark endkill? idk I no longer do advanced

They had one once which said ‘without any further calculus’

that's only there so you don't waste your time. It basically meant you don't need to find the turning points, just sketch with the correct intercepts. If you did use calculus, I don't think you'd lose marks.

I think that 4 marker ferris wheel equation and 4 marker financial math table question are to blame. the rest of the paper looks standard.

2021 still aligned better than 2024. however nobody got 100 raw mark in 2024 unlike 2021

Where do you get that info?

 

[bigupsanky]

apparently this paper is gonna be heavy on calculus and statistical analysis, with financial math and trig being the next 2 popular topics. Always count on an applied trig question, a present/future value question, and a normal loan repayment type financial math question. I think they can ask more questions like, "compare the scatter plots/box and whisker plots" like they did in 2024, which threw a lot of people off so be careful about that. calculus is calm not that much to do there, and same with normal distribution related things asw

 

[Dzeeshr]

anyone know what papers match hsc difficulty??

CSSA is pretty similar

 

[Trial&Error]

Does anyone know if you get marks in maths for "any relevant info". like if I didn't finish a 2 mark question but did half the working out? What if I only did like one line of working?

this is subjective and marker dependent

 

[tropics...]

guys if i get the same final result but i did a different wokring out with less steps, will i lose marks?

As long as your working is correct it should be fine. The only case you would lose marks would be if it is either incorrect or you skipped steps.

thank you , so even for a 3 marker thats not a show question, if i had 1-2 lines woring out and answer, i should be fine?

If that's all it takes to answer the question then yes, but just be careful that you aren't skipping steps.
