Exactly, this test will have an incredibly large number within 65-70, and the major differentiate-or will be stupid mistakes, not mathematical knowledge like it SHOULD be testing
^^ I'm surrounded by very hopeful people...
Last year was incredibly hard compared to this year, and that was the equivalent of a 50 cutoff for a band E4
In order to keep the scaling that 3U works to hard to enjoy, it'll have to be lifted to at least mid 50's, maybe reaching 60
69/70... The paper was too easy, not hard enough to distinguish between people
I mean, the only reason that's not 70 is because of a lost minus sign, the scaling of 3U this year is going to suck.
1-2 most nights will get you through prelim... it needs to get bigger a few weeks before exams to get the marks
like 3-4 hrs for the 2 weeks leading up to an exam block etc
Class Of 2012
Atar Aim: 97+ but happy with anything above 93
Prelim: Physics, Economics, Business Studies, MX1, English Adv, Chemistry
HSC: MX2, Physics, Chemistry, English Adv (soo much easier)
just putting it out there, you're making it pretty hard on yourself doing standard english and general maths with business, you're going to need to go very well in everything to get a 90+
2-3 hrs a day seems sweet, but to get a 95+ even you need to enjoy what you're doing, and then be bloody...
Herro,
Doing the boring combo : English Advanced (cause it's the only way to get an a decent mark), 4U maths, Physics, Chemistry :/
atar aim : anything above 90 but hoping for 95+
