i haven't looked at it closely enough to determine details but i heard through the grapevine that they may have copy-pasted some questions from western australia and south australia exams.

might be interesting to investigate further

copy-pasteing got some media attention this year for the biology hsc.

there was also copy-pasting this year and last year for extension 2 maths from terry lee and patel textbooks.

extension 2 also took questions from VCE 2023 Spec maths (derivative induction)

this is nothing new

im pre sure it was also in cambridge or mif. Very famous question.

only 6.7% scored a band 6.

six seven
btw i like ur new signature coolcat

Look how much nicer victoria's physics exams are - and no, they aren't just piss easy formula substitution questions like hsc physics

Only 3 marks in total out of 120 dedicated to historical experiment regurgitation (don't even have to bother)

Meanwhile the fucking HSC is 25 marks out of 100 marks dedicated to experiment regurgitation bullcrap.


The fact that they allow you to bring in pre written notes is a testament to how this exam doesn't favour retarded regurgitation - HSC physics exams by nature cannot allow this, as it will make the exams even more garbage dogshit (already is)

kinda crazy that you can take in notes to a hsc exam i wonder what people put on those things
is that true for all subjects bc in english u could jst write all ur quotes for example

they don't allow notes for english, however their assessment style is much different - not garbage regurgitation of a prewritten essay on some stupid text... unless you're doing retarded English Literature (highest english level like ext english), which nobody should be doing except a bunch of kamala voters.

50 sheets of A3 What a waste of trees just to satisfy engtards - so much for the environment, Kamala voters.

Notes?!

that’s diabolical

this + graphing calculator = every hsc physics maths question is trivial and year 9 work… one can only dream

that does look way more math based. But idk if it's just me the questions seem very yr 11 content for the first bit, whilst the second half was yr 12 content. However some of the math you had to do is questionable for an end of hs examination...
are these the type of questions asked in hsc aswell ???

finding gradient and using it to calculate something is actually pretty common for hsc phys, at least 70% chance it appears in any given exam? but usually its not explicitly asked and its up to you to realise you need the gradient for a calculation

 

[dillydally]

dont they also say that nsw has the hardest year 12 exams???

woah finally a hsc question that i can do lmao

that only holds true for mathematics extension 2 exams when compared to specialist maths exams

extension 1 exams might even be easier than specialist maths exams (though it varies greatly by year, since 2022 and 2023 had very hard exams)

math advanced and math methods exams pretty much have same difficulty

though the general maths (their standard maths) in victoria is much harder than standard 2, they do some weird pseudocode stuff and matricies



for sciences, especially physics exams, i'm sure that's not true.

Yeah I was confused that they asked it specifically

it aint hsc

 

[spiderlemonade]

it aint hsc

ohh right mb i misread

 

[coolcat6778]

it aint hsc

lol even year 7s can do a math advanced question it's crazy how they asked this question at all in the 2024 paper

genuinely the people who got this question wrong should be asked to repay 13 years of education money wasted
