2005 paper 80/120 (1 Viewer)

[henry08]

I done the 2005 HSC paper earlier and got 80/120. I just wondered what sort of scaled mark would this have got?

 

[minijumbuk]

Probably around mid 80s?

Probably around mid 80s?

yer considering 64-66/120 aligns to 76 id say ur on the money

 

[henry08]

Ok thanks. Was it a particurarly hard paper that year as I was reading the in the 'Exam Thoughts' thread about it and people seemed to think it was.

 

[ameher]

mmm depends id say alot of the papers from 2001-2007 are similar in difficulty, aside from 2003 which was a horror. i did that same paper n got 105, which is around what im averaging so id say it was decent level.

But if ur gettin that now, n by hsc u lift another 5 to 10 marks ur gonna get a high band 5 id say.

Henry08,

out of curiosity are your errors stupid mistakes or do you just not know how to do the questions?

 

[henry08]

I made quite a few stupid errors (including the factorisation of X^3 - 27 !!!), and made a huge error on the Pendulum question (q4 I think). However I didn't really know how to do part of Q9, or Q10 at all, getting just 6 marks in Q9 and 2 marks in Q10.

ermmm, by mid-80s...do u mean like,

hes gonna get a mid-band 5?? or his raw mark is going to be 85/120..?

same thing, if he gets in the 80's, will be a band 5

 

[syriangabsta]

same thing, if he gets in the 80's, will be a band 5

same thing r usure?

so if 80/120 is band 5....90/120 is band 6...100/120 is band 7 @_@?

 

[axlenatore]

so if 80/120 is band 5....90/120 is band 6...100/120 is band 7 @_@?

Band 6 is the max,

 

[shaon0]

Does anyone know what a 93/120 would get on the HSC paper?

 

[Ali92l]

Band 6 is the max,

No shit :O

 

[dolbinau]

Does anyone know what a 93/120 would get on the HSC paper?

Complete guess, but based on the way everyone else estimates the aligning of marks here I'd say mid band 5?

 

[syriangabsta]

Band 6 is the max,

well duh its the max!

you're missing my point. if 90/120 is band 6

so 100/120 is band 6

110/120 is band 6

120/120 is band 6..

bit stupid?

80/120 becomes 66.6666%

and that suddenly becomes an 85% (mid 80's) or an 85/120 (70%?)

low band 6/very high band 5. you need about 96/120 to secure a band 6.

 

[Just.Snaz]

well duh its the max!

you're missing my point. if 90/120 is band 6

so 100/120 is band 6

110/120 is band 6

120/120 is band 6..

bit stupid?

80/120 becomes 66.6666%

and that suddenly becomes an 85% (mid 80's) or an 85/120 (70%?)

while 96*/120 would secure a band 6.. getting a 100/120 might only lift the band 6 mark by 1 or 2 scaled marks. 110 might be mid to high band 6 and 120/120 is obviously a 100. But you do realise band 6 is just a 90+ scaled mark. it gets harder as you go from 90 onwards. getting 5 extra marks won't necessarily mean 5 extra scaled marks.

Thanks. What would 94% or 113/120 in 2004 HSC paper get as a scaled mark?

 

[Knowingnothing]

Oh what the....That is some crazy ass method.

Before I was like....80/120, is only 67%. Thought I was screwed.

This will help my confidence. =P
