This. The rounding happens later.
The raw marks are added up (including the 0.5s) to form a raw total. Marks are then aligned based on the band cut-offs (see...
Let your teacher know that schools no longer need to buy a subscription for RAP, it's available at no cost. It was announced to schools early last month.
'P' appears to be incomplete as well. Unfortunately my scraping script is not working for the redesigned format. I am hoping someone else may have a complete list.
Hi @carrotsss, I had a quick look and this appears to be missing the last ~1000 entries for family names starting with K? There may be other gaps, that is just the one I noticed.

And 14 tied equal first in Mathematics Standard 2.
Multiple choice data is available to schools as soon as the results come out. It was (C) - individual identity. If it makes you feel any better, it was the hardest question with 46% of SOR2 students getting it correct. 41% chose (B).
Here is the distinguished achiever's list as a searchable file. https://ufile.io/9tfiyb2e. Apologies if it's already been posted. For best ease of use, copy and paste into a spreadsheet.
Is it possible that student applied for illness/misadventure and the aligned exam mark was an estimate based on their assessment mark? It would explain the discrepancy.
I don't think there is a point to be made based on skew.
Considering characters, there are 18 of them aged 14-15, and 15 of them aged 17-18.
Considering actors, there are fewer at both ends (below 18 yrs, and above 26 yrs), and more in the middle.
I looked at the 3 sets of solutions posted for discrepancies, and also looked at mine.
* Q15: I got 5/18 for 15a and 3/5 for 15b, which is different to two sets of solutions posted. I have verified both with 500,000 trials in a spreadsheet.
* Q28c I agree with John Drake's answer: 2ln2-3/2+pi/4...
No, the Distinguished Achiever List is based on Bands (Band 6 and E4), and Bands come from HSC marks - which is the average of the exam mark and assessment mark.
Hi Matty, here are the most recent 3 files:
2021 DSA list: https://ufile.io/of2hzzie
2020 DSA list: https://ufile.io/w8fb2oda
2019 DSA list: https://ufile.io/fi0574kh
I wrote that more than 11 years ago, and yes, it's changed!
Those reports are still available, but NESA keep adding more useful analysis tools for schools. https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/11-12/hsc/results-certificates/results-services-schools/results-analysis-package-hsc...
Something else to consider ... when NESA updated the syllabus for 2012, Sam Davis was the only SDD textbook author (as far as I know) to update his book to reflect the new syllabus. There is not a big market for SDD textbooks, so it showed a commitment to SDD students and teachers to do this...
I had slightly different answers.
In part (a) use the graph to find the x values corresponding with A=30000. They are x=100 and x=200. x=200 is the larger of them.
Part (b) the largest value for A occurs at the vertex of the graph. This is half way between x=100 and x=200, i.e. x=150. Substitute...
I don't think so.
There was a simpler answer I read on facebook that a teacher posted there.
Split the triangle OAB down the middle.
You can then use right-angled trig to find the height of that triangle. (tan 18 = 4/x)
This gives you x=12.3107...
You then find the area of triangle OAB as 1/2...
