how the hell did u get 46/50 if u didnt answer q7 and others.
Isnt each page worth, on average, 15 marks?

 

[Nelly]

each page? Each question is worth 12 marks, 46/50 is a scaled mark, not a raw mark.

 

[Minai]

exactly

if they used raw marks, everyone would b getting like 50 to 60 in 4U math

 

[Nelly]

50? HA, more like 30-40. The HSC questions are so bloody hard, and it's so hard to pick marks.

It takes so long to complete a single year HSC Paper, if you try hard, you could complete about 2 a day!! Whereas with the same effort you could complete about 7 3U papers

 

[Minai]

is it really that long?

the guy coming 1st in 4U at my school reckons he should b able to finish the paper in the exam...would that b possible??

 

[Lazarus]

Possible, yes. Probable... ? well.

 

[Nelly]

Finish the whole thing, HAHAHHAHA. Just take a look at a HSC paper, it's HUGE, and bloody hard. Anyone can go in their, and write a bunch or crap for every single question, and say 'yeah I finished the entire paper'. But it's incredibly hard, if not impossible to get it all right. I think the highest mark of all time is like 95% raw. Could I get some confirmation???

 

[Morgues]

I know a person in 2000 got 97% raw, not sure how he found out though unless they tell you if you come 1st in the state

 

[Nelly]

SWEET MOTHER OF CRAP. Was he like the great great grandson/daughter (notice the non-sexist remark ) of Einstein? 97% raw is insane, most people struggle to get over 60%

 

[Minai]

jesus christ
97% in 4U!
they r prolly geniuses

did u kno the youngest person sitting HSC 4U math this yr is a 12 yr old Year 7 kid??
now theres a freak!

 

[Morgues]

son

if i remmember correctly he came 1st in 4 unit maths, 6th in english, 2nd in physics, 3rd in economics and in his own words "screwed up chemistry" in which he came 17th

btw those rankings are in the *state* also he got full marks for the maths comp everytime he did it betwen year 7 and 12.......everytime

The board of studies used to have rankings of those in band 6 for the hsc, not sure if its still up there though, check year 2000 for the subjects i mentioned cause this guy is unbelievable

 

[Minai]

well....I have nothing to say.....

 

[Lazarus]

The BOS had rankings for those in Band 6?? Are you certain? When was that?

 

[Morgues]

I am positive, I am sure I was checking them last year about the 2000 HSC
For every subject they would have the students with the 90+ HSC score and they were ranked

This year they instead released the % of people in each band I assume due to the new HSC

 

[Morgues]

Their still up there
you can check the rankings between 1991-2000 here

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/ebos/static/EBOS_STATS.htm

 

[yeh]

do they have a DUX of the State? it'd be interesting to see who the smartest person in the state is.

 

[Morgues]

it wont necessarily be the smartest person but u can work it out from that url

 

[Lazarus]

Ahh... yeah, I didn't think they had released a set of rankings for 2001.

There were a few people who could be considered Dux - take a look at http://lazseeker.cjb.net/meritlist.csv - for example, Lit Hau Tan. (save it and open in MS Excel, then you can sort by whatever column you want)

 

[Morgues]

LOL

band 6 in economics, advanced english, ext1 english, ext 2 english, ext 1 and ext 2 maths, physics, chemistry and top it off cosmology as well

Thats just scary,,,,,,,band 6 in 16 units and i bet he got band 6 in something in 2000 because he had to accelerate in something to do cosmology

 

[Lazarus]

He also did philosophy in 2001 but wasn't in band 6 for it.

I think he topped the state in 3u agriculture in 2000 or something along those lines.
