Reporter: so how was the hsc physics exam? history girls: it was alright, but some questions threw me off (most likely the projectile motion and circular motion questions)

This genuinely pisses me off.

Don't fucking tell me you're referencing the projectile motion question and circular motion questions
These are legit surface level questions anyone with rudimentary physics knowledge should be able to answer. If you can't do them you don't deserve a band 6, maybe not even a band 5. Knowing how bullshit the majority of this exam is, you could still fucking get a band 6, despite being a fucking moron (legit all fucking history regurgitation essays, akin to hsc english).

At least it was impossible to fucking yap your way through for most of the theory questions in the 2024 paper, most notably that very nice "model A vs model B" gravitation question.

This paper legit has no fucking novel questions at all besides the very last one. Hence, this paper will scale fucking shit. Only the histards will score state ranks in this paper. Plus math extension 2 and 1 scaling is POTENTIALLY ruined due to a joke of a physics exam, favouring the hsie kids.

This exam is a complete fucking joke. NESA needs a reality check.

People didn't fucking choose physics to write retarded english-esque regurgitation essays (1/4 of section II).

In all seriousness though, how do you think they mark the longer responses? Easy 5/8 or 4/6 with basic understanding + use of key terminology and then each mark gets progressively harder? Or just like following a criteria and ticking boxes?

If you mention all the key details and experiments, you could get atleast 5/8 (like I did in the 2024). Then it's just based on fucking structure lol, legit.

But since there are like 3 fucking essays (31, 32, 33) you're gonna be losing so many marks cause of this. 2024 had some nice theory questions I could answer and score full marks in (question number 30s) to make up for the large losses in the history and essay questions, though I would've preferred a 2023 style exam (which I likely would've band 6ed). 2025's dogshit pile of a physics exam made me realise how lucky I was to not wait a year to do physics.

Damn ok, so it’s pretty must subjective after you hit like the 6/8 barrier.

Kinda worried as if I lose like at least 2 marks on each of those longer responses I’m getting low 80s which is prob not band 6 .

yup, there's genuinely no reason this should be in a physics examination. It's genuinely word play and garbage regurgitation crap.

coolcat lad I usually complain with you on this but it really wasn’t as bad as I could’ve been I’m thankful

bruh how, its 19 marks of pure essay regurgitation (31, 32, 33). You said that 2019 was too much writing, but the 2019 writing was mostly theory application, rather than historical experiments essays. 2025 is the MOST essay style response heavy paper

This paper wont even scale/align particularly good, since it's all regurgitation (NESA has some sense to understand regurgitation doesn't mean difficult). MCQ didn't look particularly interesting either

Personally, I feel the 2024 paper is much much easier than 2025. More application based theory questions, rather than memory tests and essay writing questions which heavily disadvantage you if your (petal style) structure isn't to their standard

It's genuinely word play and garbage regurgitation crap.

in one question i said 'scattering' rather than 'Deep inelastic scattering' i KNOW im losing marks for that even if they know damn well what i meant

this is why it’s not going to count towards my atar lol
