    Post your 2016 ATAR here!

    96.00 Literally my goal. Feels good. Considerably higher than ATAR calculator estimates from my HSC results. (If bonus points are included, 99.00 ATAR for a 92 Guaranteed Entry. A bit of overkill, I reckon.)

    [HSC mark , (Examination mark, Assessment mark) ] English Advanced: 85 , (85,85) Maths 3U: 87 , (84,89) Maths 4U: 73 , (72,74) Physics: 88 , (88,87) Software: 96 , (96,96) Estimate: ~95.00, and I was predicting 89.00 - 90.00 the whole time.

    Last Question of Section 1

    I figured out the torque (t=Fd) and said it was equal to work done (W=Fs, s=d) which is equal to some energy (I forget). Got 7.5J or 7.4J as well. Hopefully my BS pulls me through.

    Hardest / Weirdest syllabus points in Physics

    I was ok with that stuff (I enjoyed trippy flash games that messed with FoR). Motors and generators messed with me hard. Took me days just to figure out Lenz Law questions worked. I hope they don't ask about the pendulum experiment (1st page of syllibus dot points)

    Last year a 97 (adjusted and raw, apparently) said they got a state rank (on rawmarks.info). I reckon it will be higher this year.

    Estimates for the raw mark necessary for 80 or 90 adjusted? (ie. E3.5 and E4 cutoff)

    Carrotsticks is going to post answers later on (look for his post earlier in the thread) also FUCK FUCK I DID THE INTERNAL ANGLE NOT THE REFLEX ANGLE.

    I hope so. It's got the working down, so the method is clear. But 1 mark questions are hit-or-miss. If I scrape into E4, I'll be very happy.

    Ah crap. That means I probably got the parabola locus proof incorrect too.

    Mathematics Extension 1 Exam Thoughts

    I got, for the question before, a focal length of "(a-a^2)/4", or the other way around. Did I screw up? Couldn't get the last one out.

    Mathematics Extension 1 Exam Thoughts

    I don't think any specific 4u methods were helpful (or even could be used?). I think it's like asking if 3u methods help 2u questions. I believe it comes down to: 1) if you have 4 units of maths, you will (probably) practice more and do more questions of harder difficult. We get 3u questions in...

    Mathematics Extension 1 Exam Thoughts

    Did you try to scab some partial marks? I know for induction if you prove the "true for x=1" and "assume true for n=k" then I believe that's 2 marks without actually doing work. (maybe just 1?)

    Someone I was talking to at the train station said the same. They are easy marks.

    I'm sure it was. Hopefully the E4 isn't too high because of it.

    "BoS throws a student's dreams down a staircase with 10m high steps, with initial horizontal velocity of 2 m/s. Determine the velocity of the first collision with the staircase " I felt the same. However, the fact you are asking about a 94 and 97 makes me doubt that you aren't even top gun...

    I felt it was easy, much easier than previous years (but I think it was mostly luck, other people I saw weren't too happy with it). lol spent a whole five minutes on the part asking how high up the wall it was, because I kept subbing in 30cos30° instead of 30sin30° As long as all my silly...
