did the exam today and felt it was pretty easy.

however, after go through the exam paper after with other students, i realised that i had somehow missed 8 marks because i didnt see the question (dont even ask).

these were probably the easiest 8 marks of the exam i should have easily got them if i saw them.

with discussion, i have come to the conclusion that i am getting 84 (give or take a mark) and am angry as if i had seen the question that i missed i would easily have gotten > 90.

my school mark is around 95 and my rank is fourth.

can i still get a band 6?

im only in year 11, and am doing MX1 and MX2 next year so will this mark affect my atar?

cheers.

You should get a band 6. This won't even count to your atar if you're doing MX2.

If you do mx2 than all of mathematics(2 unit) doesn't count at all, mx1 becomes 2 units worth and mx2 another 2 units totalling 4 units of maths. If you don't do mx2 but do mx1, you will only have 1 unit of mx1 and 2 units of normal maths totalling 3 units of maths. Basically this mark or any 2unit mark doesn't matter for you.

you dont do 2U if you do mx2 because its assumed you'll get a band 6 in 2U if you do mx2 i think. 84 should be enough for a band 6 :)
