And then we fall back to the argument of what intelligence is :p
Intelligence is the ability of the mind to create, recognise, understand and apply new concepts.

The HSC only really touches on one or two of these in almost all subjects except mathematics.

Not to mention that intelligence is a holistic thing; academic excellence does not make you intelligent overall.

"Although there remains a strong tendency to view intelligence as a purely intellectual or cognitive function, considerable evidence suggests that intelligence has many facets."

If you're not finishing 3u exams in 1:15-30 you're not doing enough of them I'm afraid.

CSSA papers take under an hour.
It seems that recent HSC papers are getting a bit longer towards the end...
