nah I don’t think the exam this year was rlly textbook questions. They had specific questions rlly such as the romer question like the speed of light which it wasn’t that hard but it may been pretty difficult to understand especially looking at the loads of unnecessary information that was given which could have co fused students. Another example is the last question 8 marker where it was a niche topic about conservation of momentum which we haven’t rlly delved into as much since yr 11. The 8 markers and 6 marker questions, they were good questions except the theoretical and experimental one idk how u can yap that much for so that’s that . The module 6 questions were less this year but that last module 6 question was definently not a textbook question. So like it was pretty much a lot of theory just 25 marks of long responses that’s why I’m thinking it’s harder than 2024 and 2023 and expecting a lower b6 cutoffA band 6 cut-off of 78 would be nice in physics, but this year's paper was quite textbook rather than any really challenging problems. Compare this year's HSC to 2023's HSC paper and you will see the difference.
Examples of some Moderately or extensively challenging questions (for 2023) were the energy and orbits questions as well as the 7 mark calculation question for projectile motion.
