what mark for a 98? (1 Viewer)

[LostAuzzie]

I just finished doing the 2001 paper then started looking at the standards package for 2001 and noticed that for questions 6 and 7 (in which I only got 5 marks for each) even the Band E3/4 students left out the larger parts of these questions or only half answered them.
I got stuck on those two questions but when I looked over the answers afterwards they weren't that bad. So I guess it all just comes down to timing and the fact that it's harder to think straight under these conditions.

Although the HSC doesnt seem like the hardest exams available, and you will undoubtedly do harder ones, theres a huge difference between doing trials at school and practice papers at home and doing the actual HSC exam.

So would you say subtract 5 or 10 marks from what you get when you practice to get a better idea of how you might go in the HSC?

Ummm then why do people get 80+ in trials while only a few get 80+ in the hsc? I don't think it's the difficulty...

in schools sometimes ppl get replacement questions or change certain questions which could make things a lot easier
and also some teachers don't mark things properly...

i dont like that
that is just stupid, it should be how individuals go
what if u have a shit teacher or shit classmates, everyone goes down.

yes your mark depends on how well youe class goes

but if your class is shit then you mark will be higer abover the adverage than it would be if you had a good class

so in the end, it all works out fair

if you have a shit teachure, and dont learn as much,, then your not as goos and that is why you wont get a good mark. nothing the bos can do then

Although the HSC doesnt seem like the hardest exams available, and you will undoubtedly do harder ones, theres a huge difference between doing trials at school and practice papers at home and doing the actual HSC exam. I could normally finish 3 unit papers well before the 2 hours, but unfortunately in the actual HSC exam i didnt get up to the last binomial question and I had to rush the SHM one, so that was like an auto minus 5-6 marks there and then. The fact that I got 75 was pretty surprising, because it meant i only lost like 3-4 marks out of the questions that I did, which wasnt my impression when I left the exam.

how u know u got 75 then?

Just like they can ask for the answers with the dictatorship of BoS act.

no, theres many clauses that help maintain the integrity of Examinations.

I got 96 course mark last year and I estimated mine to be about 75/84 at the very least... so 98 i would be thinking 76+
