Multiple Choice in 2U Maths HSC? (1 Viewer)

[desmol]

Someone in my class was told in his tutoring class that they would include a multiple choice section in the 2U Maths HSC Exam.

I asked our Maths coordinator and she said they hadn't been informed about anything like that, and years ago a multiple choice section was proposed but rejected.

Anyone else hear something like this or have more info?
Fact or false rumour?

Yes this is true.

You should be regularly checking BOS for updates.

Highlighted in red are the important changes implemented this year, have a read.


- Your school should already know about this and possibly making assessments have multiple choice to emulate the conditions in the externals.

I really didn't know this, and I don't understand why my school doesn't either :/

The BOS has put up a few (okay, more than a few) sample objective-response (aka multiple choice) questions -
