no one's talking about the crazy 3D trig yet... you guys found them easy???
i had 10 degrees and 40 mins as my answer. Anyone else?

i didn't get 10 degrees and 40 mins

i got 80 something degrees and something minutes lol....my friend got that too (my answer that is)...odd


<TABLE class=tborder cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=3 width="100%" align=center border=0><TBODY><TR title="Post 3649500" vAlign=top><TD class=alt1 align=middle width=125>Pwnage101</TD><TD class=alt2>uh, make the function: x^3-9 = 0
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

i got that right

oh and i'm really hoping uz are right about getting 50s-60s raw for an E4 in the HSC!!

Weird. Maybe you didn't minus the 80 from 90 (since that's the angle of depression)... OR we just got it plain wrong LOL

omgosh i think ur sooo right!!! i think i had to minus the 80 something from 90...damn! lol

but thanks aye

we have the best test marker ever xD... so we all got our 3unit marks back today -_-

got 77% (65/84 i think) raw so hopefully its enough for band E4 or around 95

*random emoticon i picked form the list*

I'm not sure, but i was always taught that with a question where they give u a dN/dt and u have to show that N satisfies it, then u have to integrate the dN/dt because they asked u to show, and that differentiating the N would only be a verification.

integrating dN/dt = N (200-N) would get you absolutely nowhere in terms of showing that N is a solution of dN/dt.

That's pretty awesome result.


I am hoping for over 80 though. But my bet goes to the mark around 78-80%.

 

[karnage]

I got 58/84

TBH im pretty happy with that.

 

[fahmy]

what you guys think the minimum raw mark for e4 would be ? like outta 84?

 

[dang]

I got 51/84 ><. Teacher goes 60%+ is good though since it was a hard paper.

 

[eddy11]

what you guys think the minimum raw mark for e4 would be ? like outta 84?

i asked my teacher based on my mark (56/84) if i could get E4 and she said i was pushing E4, high E3, said i would probably get one so long as i keep pushing and studying, she said over 60 she would confidently say E4

78/84 RAW/quote]

Lolz same as me. God damn stupid errors! cost me 4 marks!!!

 

[bored of sc]

Wow! 99% for you in the HSC then.

 

[steffiiii]

shit, you guys did well! (well done!). the median at my school was about 41/84 (ie a fail)... was everyone getting 78/84, or is that just excessvely good?

I got 61% (51/84) and was pretty happy with that but I'm thinking that I should maybe drop it / give up on it if everyone else was getting >80% for that exam...

oh dear ><

 

[lyounamu]

I got 63/84, which is a decent result. But I will definitely get two more marks so I am expecting 65. But I failed to break that 80% barrier...

But I have my maths result to cheer about, so I am not complaining.

 

[wogblogger]

anyone get more then 81 outa 84?

 

[lyounamu]

That would be truly ingenious, wouldn't it be?

The top mark was 76 for us, followed by 75, I think.

if u want 100 in 3unit... do u need a school and hsc mark of 100

Well, not necessarily. You can still get 100 with 99 and 100 combination (either internally or externally).

 

[wogblogger]

so if ur ranked 1st with 97 and u get a hsc mark of 100
and 2nd place is on 96 and gets hsc mark of 99
..all other ranks improve by atleast 3%

is it still possible? to get 100
