it was actually 0.39. A lot of people got .53 which was basically the correct solution but forgetting a line (had to account for ions in solution)

ohh ok thanks for letting me know

ffs I didn't subtract the mass of the CO2

same in gonna kms rn

have you guys estimated + heard any estimates about scaling? it was a pretty difficult test right?

I'm estimating a raw 60.

is a band 6 possible for me? i am ranked fourth at school, 4 marks behind rank one (raw internal marks) and i am predicting a raw mark of 91 from today's hsc

 

[haw_flakes]

also nobody should kts you're almost/already free? should've done it b4 or during the test to give an advantage to your cohort lol

 

[Ishi081]

in significant figures how many marks do u lose coz for the 4.92 moles question I got it but I did not see the 1 L and didnt round it to 5 moles

most probably

Yeah really not sure how they are going to mark all of those long explain answers. And I think I did stuff a couple of the calculations, dont know how though. Also for Q29 I got it completely right but in the last step I calculated the reciprocal of the Keq fraction, rather than Aq on top (I put Aq on bottom)

Im ranked first and think i got maybe an 86-67. But could also lose a couple more depending on how cruel they are with the written stuff. Possible to get a B6?

 

[hellopenguin666]

is it possible to get band 6 if i got around 80 to be safe? worst case is 80 but hopefully i got around 85 - is that band 6 ish please I'm actually so stressed

please don't stress i'm sure you will be fine, and for band 6 i'm not too sure but it also depends on how your cohort does as well that can boost you up

Thanks! This year's scaling would be lower than 2022 and 2023 right? 86% for band 6 last year was crazy, hopefully its around 80% this year...

What is raw for 60% or 65%

 

[Ishi081]

does anybody know if the hsc markers are lenient about significant figures if u got the working out correct and were just one decimal off the sig fig

 

[wait...what?]

i think they dedicate 1 mark to sig figs throughout the paper. if you messed up in that one question than you lose the mark but otherwise they dont care.

ohhhhh okay coz I did that in three questions and was extremely annoyed with myself for that thinking that I lost three marks.
is it also like how they dedicate only one question for equations having states so u just do it in all the equations u write?

Bro how tf do teachers say physics is the hardest science with a straight face. Chem looks horrible

I'm estimating a raw 60.

Probably 70s max 75

Same, but why did Q2 option B say low solubility toxin, I thought cycasin was highly soluble?

That’s what I was thinking but I wasn’t sure how well the first option fit either so I just went with B
