I'd be very appreciative of any trial papers as well. I have Ascham, Wenona, CSSA and Independent 2025 to offer but I imagine most of ya'll have done those

Any chance you can send through? I have a document with over 200 possible questions.

Anyone else have PDHPE tomorrow as well as Geo? I was pretty happy with how I went with the trial (86) but I was hoping to lock in for a band 6 for HSC but have not done any study because of PDHPE oops... locking in this weekend ig

 

[cbeebz]

Also anyone know why there isn't a trial database for geo on THSC? Seems to be one of the only subjects without?

 

[Dresden]

Yes will send all of you those papers. Any chance you could send me your school's paper?

 

[cbeebz]

I'd be happy to in return - if I can get hold of a digital copy, my teacher hasn't uploaded one but just emailed her about it.

 

[Dresden]

Do you guys mind sending me your email unless there's a way to send a file through BOS cause if I upload they'll get taken down for copyright I think (at least the Independent trial)

Sorry we did CSSA so I don't have anything to send through

guys idk how to do skills i give up

istg if there is a question where they give you a map, and a photo, and they say to find the scale of the photo, i might cry

 

[sakinluvo]

i'm gonna start studying fir geo now

 

[Dresden]

Ok I sent my papers to the people who gave me their emails! If you have any of your own please send them to me as well!

Im starting realise that Geography might be cooked. I wish we didn't have a new syllabus ngl

I like it bc the scaling should hopefully be better, historically subjects during the first few years have had good scaling if you do reasonably well

you can be asked to orient a photo or find the time of day, or compare the scale of photos (e.g. which of these photos in the stimulus has the largest scale) but I don't think you can be asked to find the scale of a photo

 

[Dresden]

You absolutely can be asked to find the scale of a photo but it's quite rare. Here's how you do it:

1. Compare the photograph with a known distance within the topographic map they give you (e.g. a straight bit of road) - use the given scale to determine the distance
2. Measure that same distance in the photo in terms of cm e.g. 4.7 cm = 50 metres (known from the topographic map)
3. Convert to cm and that's your scale --> 4.7 cm = 5000cm-> 1cm : ≈1064cm

Also, Geography surprisingly scales well (on the high end), my geo teacher was showing us an article by the geography teachers' association and it stated that a HSC score of 95 correlated to an ATAR of 99.00. Which, whilst a high mark, I would say that is pretty good considering it's not the most demanding subject. Clutch factor!

WTH, Geography alignment is so good! That's better than chemistry damnnnnnn.

omg maybe the new syllabus might scale even better, they might be more lenient this year
