Thoughts on raw mark needed for an E4 (3 Viewers)

Im not saying ur wrong. Just that I think that statistic needs evidence...but surely NSW isnt stupid?!?!

64/84 aligns to...? silly mistakes FML!

For your information, I DID provide evidence from BOS.

You seem to be overestimating the state's ability, also you're forgetting that this is the 2nd highest level mathematics this state has to offer.

any idea what an E3 would be??
Think it is touch and go if i passed (44/84) would i have a chance??

 

[meilz92]

35-45/84...... would this be an E3???


i hope so!!!

Iyounamu and the derivative. My apologies. thank you for clearing that up.

hm ...
i'm not sure, but our head maths teacher is a 3u HSC marker and on the committee that determines the cut off marks for each band.
i'm pretty sure she said that 70s out of 84 would be E4 no problem.
i don't think it would be as low as the 40s.. or even the 50s to be honest.
maybe 60s?

plus, i thought the exam was harder than last year's paper definitely.
i suddenly realised how to do the two one mark questions in question 6 as soon as i got home !

daayuuumm.

 

[kwokie]

Some ppl reckons cut off would be at least 60/84 this year.

 

[ryanskies]

i believe 60s would be enough for a low-mid E4, maybe not really mid, but yeah enough for 45-46/50

Now, I don't think the exam was easy, it was a little different to other years' papers as well... >_>

I can't imagine the cut off for an E4 will be >64... I would say that the cut-off lie around the 54-58 mark. Depends on everyone's performance

I agree.

It'll just depends on the rest of the state but from what i gather, everyone most people got screwed over by the "different" style of questions asked.

+1
I think this occurred in all levels of maths (not sure about general)

 

[lyounamu]

different style of question? like what? :s

Sorry Namu,

but this made me lol.

 

[study-freak]

I heard general had different types of Qs too.

Why are we getting weird exams?

To let people learn off by heart that they should study the subject, not the questions. (IMO)

 

[annabackwards]

Usually questions 1-5 are nice and easy, then question 6 is fine and question 7 is challenging. This time around questions 1-4 were easy, then questions question 5 was fine, question 6-7 was challenging. The questions themselves also required different proofs/working out to the usual exam questions.

LOL no idea, hopefully the science exams are fine and i don't think they can really screw up my modern exam XD

From what i gather from my research of Bos it appears that at least 20% of BOS scored over 75/84 in terms of raw mark. So i suppose cut off will be about high 60s to low 70s this year... FML

all sorts of crap happens behind the scenes in the board....just ignore it and worry about your next exam

 

[math man]

this test was pretty easy, i shoulda got at lest 79, but coz i rushed i made heaps of silly errors, and that pisses me off, i reckon i got about 70 to mid 70s, would that scale up to 47/50 or not ? ps, q 6 b ii) was a stupid englishy type question
