Oh thank goodness everyone's found it hard!

I usually get raw marks between 80 - 87, but this one - 60's fo sho.

I say congratulations to us all for maintaining our will to live!
how the heck do you get a raw of 87 in a paper out of 84??

That was unbelievably hard! and i agree, there wasn't enough time to finish it!
i couldnt answer about 30 marks of it.
so if everyone does badly, do they just do a lot of scaling? coz id say my assessment mark is quite a bit higher than the mark i got in that test!

bos should go jump.

hahaha....im pretty sure not everyone found it hard....just talk to some Ruse
kids and you'll probably find 100kids that found it easy... so you cant really expect the BOS to mark easy if even 90% of the candidature found it hard.... cuz there will always be ppl that get RAW 90%+...

FUCKING HELL THAT WAS FUCKED!!!!
the actual qs werent that hard, the methods were just really longg!!! not enough time to fucking finish.
left out fukn 20-25 worth of marks i could have done.
the circle geo WTF were there even any thms in it??
thats was FUCKED in the sense FUCKED.

theyll mark easy as in, since everyone found it hard, itll scale higher, eg. a 50% might scale to an 85% instead of 80% or something.

yeh i agree the aligning will be better for us, to account for the difficulty and lower marks achieved overall.

but that circle geo was pretty straightforward IMO, I used the alternate segment theorem, and then straight line.

They dont mark easy, the marks are just aligned by those hsc band judges.

yesss i found it heaps hard - they threw in lots of tricky ones all the way through
that, plus the total lack of time made it really challenging even if some of the questions were pretty straight forward...

alternate segment thm? as in angle between tangent and chord? :S
i wish theyd asked for a normal hardish circle geo Q.. finding all the angles and using heaps of thms.. the ones i could actually do, not this rubbish... :(
what a waste...:(
