Judging by the insane alignment of last year's exam (raws got boosted more than phys or chem) we can assume it's gonna be a hard test (but very rewarding for those who do well). 😖
Yeah to add on to this, does anyone know if the HSC marks include error carried forward within questions. Like if we got a wrong value but used it in the right formula would we get 1 mark out of 2?
Dw dude last year only around ~6% of the state got a band 2 or lower, and considering some people I know didn't even attempt the second booklet I'm sure alignment will you push up.
I think you can though it doesn't get scanned. If you plan in the writing booklet it can help the marker get a sense of your argument briefly + extends your response by a page making it seem longer.
