comparative "hardness" (1 Viewer)

[Rahul]

i did this for the ext1 paper aswell...

were there any past papers that were similar in terms of hardness?

i want to compare with the avg marks of those ones....from 88-98 preferably.

hahaha i have this huge tower of past trials from differnent schools and CSSA and independant and NEAP that i got printed before my trials... i was *supposed* to go through them for each subject, after ive finish the past papers for the HSC...

but i end up just finishing the 10 4U HSC past papers from the mansw book the day b4 the exam, didnt finish the 3U HSC past papers, nor phys, nor chem....

and that big tower is still there in the corner of my room ...

hahahahahaha so much ink wasted... and i love the trees too lol

past papers for 4unit, i didnt have many only 3, i know so little, i didnt know where to get on to more, but its over now and i did all i could yeah., but for 3unit i had about 20, but only did about 14 of them, i really dont think that doing to many was going to help me cause i already left it to the last minute, it would have been good to start early,(Yes, like they say we should) and do a few each week..

for 4u, i just went thru oldmans,review of 2002 hsc, and did the first 5 questions of 98 paper. dammit!

yeah, i shouldn't have bought the past paper (mansw) either...coz i never used it. :mad1:

[truly-in-bliss]

[smeyo]

yeah 147 papers, all i would have needed was like 10 of them and my tutor would have marked them for me, so it would have been fine....

well it doesn't matter now for me anyway, but why don't u just put soltions to like half of your papers, and then leave the other half for students to put up....

Looks like different people sees the difficulty differently..

I'd say that it's comparable to 2000, but it just happened that I flukedly had the solution flashing onto my mind. If I was just doing it at home, i probably wouldn't have got more than 90 raw marks...

anyways, probably the students that weren't expecting to do well found the "easy" questions "easy", hence they think this isn't as hard. Or people found that the "intermediate" questions easy. But the "hard" questions are definitely not easy..

I think the Q8 of proving pi is irrational was done b4, i think it's not as impossible as Qs on probability. i thought last year's paper was extremely easy, and this year's one is alrite
