I reckon physics will be like 78 or something it was harder than last years and previous years but it’s not gonna have the crazy alginement as 2019
Chem seems like an 85

what do u guys reckon the pdhpe cutoff is

I’m the one who predicted that I’m just wondering if anyone else think it’s higher or lower

OH HELP SORRY I DIDNT REALISE

Actually, I think legal studies would be 82 or even 80. There was more application of knowledge than last year's.

A band 6 cut-off of 78 would be nice in physics, but this year's paper was quite textbook rather than any really challenging problems. Compare this year's HSC to 2023's HSC paper and you will see the difference.

Examples of some Moderately or extensively challenging questions (for 2023) were the energy and orbits questions as well as the 7 mark calculation question for projectile motion.

if legal scales up then why do i always here that business, pe and legal are the worst scaling subjects
do they mean in terms of atar contribution?

nah I don’t think the exam this year was rlly textbook questions. They had specific questions rlly such as the romer question like the speed of light which it wasn’t that hard but it may been pretty difficult to understand especially looking at the loads of unnecessary information that was given which could have co fused students. Another example is the last question 8 marker where it was a niche topic about conservation of momentum which we haven’t rlly delved into as much since yr 11. The 8 markers and 6 marker questions, they were good questions except the theoretical and experimental one idk how u can yap that much for so that’s that . The module 6 questions were less this year but that last module 6 question was definently not a textbook question. So like it was pretty much a lot of theory just 25 marks of long responses that’s why I’m thinking it’s harder than 2024 and 2023 and expecting a lower b6 cutoff

Your probably right. Maybe a 79/80. My initial 81 is likely wrong.

@jane1820 I think you are confusing scaling with alignment. These are two different processes for different purposes.

You HSC marks (marks received) are from NESA and are a conversion of your raw marks to NASA'S standards. For example, a raw 80 in some subjects is considered as a band 6 mark or "extensive knowledge" of thd course. Alignment involves a piecewise function with 4 to 6 linear equations for cutoffs for each subject so that each year, students receive marks to the same standards rather than being advantaged or disadvantaged due to change in difficulties from year to year.

Scaling is done by UAC and we do not receive this mark. Scaling is a fair process to compare the marks across different subjects and set them at an equally conversion. Think of it as converting all you currencies (such as Japanese yen and Australian dollars) to one currency (such as the United States dollar). In other words, a raw 80 in Mathematics Standard 2 is not equal to a raw 80 in Mathematics Extension 2 due to the competitive difference in each subject. It is a complicated process involving many mathematical methods such as percentiles and what not.

Hope this helps

PLEASE BRUH THIS IS MAKING ME HOPEFUL

What are we thinking about the cutoffs for English adv and math adv

99 and 98 probably bro, I'm so terrified they'll kill us with the marking for English adv

 

[Study to success]

guys is flopping all ur year 12 task 1 exams normal? Aren't they supposed to be the easiest ones? I did so bad in business

depends on ur school tbh and how prepared u were

I'd say I was decently prepared but I did worse than when I was unprepared

 

[lolcti]

Is first in course calls coming tmrw?

Math advanced probably 73-75 English advanced wasn’t that bad so like 85

does anyone have predictions for ancient??
