physics hsc

was the physics hsc hard? some people from my school finished it early and got out ... LOL

i am doing it next year ...

 

[Ozz^E]

most students found it relatively easy.

depending on option topic as well
generally, ppl thought Quanta 2 Quarks was hard, but the rest of the paper easy

Man i really...

want the Physics exams to be extremely hard lol, so we can get scaled.
I want it to distinguish between ones that are working on the subject and ones that are not.

One SMALL reason i chose physics was because it gave scaling.
Now they wish to minimise the scaling? NOOOOOOO
I understand that now PDHPE scales more than PHYSICS.
That makes me cross:mad1:

 

[Mathematician]

but..

Anyway i think at the end of the year physics will be a big scaler.

 

[Mathematician]

One more thing..

The scaling depends on the year , so the scalings are not always definite.

That is simply not the case, unless u work for the UAC's Technical commitee on scaling and know something I don't

In 2001, Physics scaled much higher than PDHPE, and for 2002, well we just don't know that yet, and we wont until mid-2003, when UAC releases its technical report of scaling for the 2002 HSC.

In any case, I wouldnt worry, Physics traditionally scales really well, as the majority of the canditure tend to perform well in their other 8 units

totally agree ...

and to comments about scaling ... scaling will be similar in terms of percentile and uac scaled marks no matter what the boardofstudies do with the hsc marks ...

isnt this subject of this post asking about textbooks ...
