Gettin a band 6 in maths :( (1 Viewer)

[ay_caramba]

What raw HSC mark would u need to get a scaled mark that lands in band 6?? (if that makes sense..)

 

[withoutaface]

I think it's somewhere around 100/120, but this is only an estimate.

 

[Heinz]

Id be more inclined to say mid 90s/120

 

[JamiL]

id say at least 100, that is about 83%... which may scale to a 90... but it changes every year

If that's true then I must've really stuffed it up last year.

 

[Wild Dan Hibiki]

i thought it 2u scales down at around mid 90's/120.... are u guys sure?

 

[shannonm]

depends totally on the paper
questions like this are stupid.

I'd have to agree with this, going by the 2003 HSC Maths exam. If you could've gotten 115+ / 120, you'd have to be a bloody genius.

 

[Wild Dan Hibiki]

wat was last years average?

I'm more inclined to think you'd just have to be a reasonably capable 4u student.

No idea about last years average, but it would have been less that 50%.

I guess this would also be true, however, a reasonable 4u student wouldn't be sitting 2u maths anyway (unless done in a prior year).

 

[absolution*]

i rkn even 4U students woulda been struggling to get over 115 last year.

 

[Li0n]

hmm 115
last years question 10 was pretty easy.. if thats what was meant to be the hardest
...

would anyone know what raw mark it is for E4 in 3unit?


shannonm , these are just approximations.

Try Laz's raw--->aligned marks thread and you'll see that it's about 50/84

Don't you reckon 50/84 seems too good to be true for a Band E4?
E.g. your 82/84 for the CSSA trial would've have got you a ~99?? Even my measly 72/84 (compared with yours) would get 93-94, which to me seems a bit unrealistic...

This person just wants a general idea, and 2u papers won't vary incredible amounts in difficulty with the exception of last year's.

It won't always be that way.

That was just the cut-off for the 2001 paper. The others could vary significantly. We have no idea.

ill do last years now just to see if its as hard as everyone says it is.

 

[withoutaface]

Most of it was pretty straight forward, except for parts of that interest rates question and parts of the rope question.

The first time i did the 2003 paper i think i wouldve lost a mark in the very last question because i found the value but had difficulty in proving the nature
