    Explanation of HSC Marks (Moderating)

    When moderating assessment marks do the board of studies take into account the gap between internal assessment marks? For example, if at one school the top student (Bob) was assessed at 98 and the 2nd student (Harry) at 89 and they both got an exam mark of 90; Bob: Assessed at 98, exam...

    scaling

    Damn that paper was too easy! I got 97 raw in my trial and i thought it was a harder exam than this. Im worried that the state average will be too high and there wont be much separation between the good biology students and the outstanding ones. Hence, if u made a few silly mistakes it could...

    4 (c) Probability

    She chooses 3 "DIFFERENT" squares meaning P(white) = 32/64 x 31/63 x 30/62. It would only be 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 if she was able to choose the same square. However, i can see what the other people are saying and either method should obtain full marks if done correctly due to a fucked up worded...

    Mathematics - General thoughts on the exam

    Oh FUCK! I just realised that in question 1, I sketched y = [x] + 4 and not y = [x + 4]. Oh well im confident thats the only marks i'll lose besides 5-6 in 10(b) so i'm still looking at 110+

    Mathematics - General thoughts on the exam

    I smashed everything up till 10 (b) which then fucked me in the arse. Overall though, i probably should get somewhere between 108 and 115 so im pretty happy with that

    Length contraction???

    The answer is 0.3m, trust me. Whoever says it is 0.19 is suggesting that the whole cathode ray tube is moving at 0.6c. The length of the electron will contract relative to the scientists but it is the only thing moving inside the tube. No matter what speed the electron moves at relative to the...

    General thoughts on the exam

    I thought it was overall a pretty good paper. I had some trouble with a couple of multiple choices and the gravitational potential energy and distance between the rods question but i think im looking at 85-90 as a raw mark

    Length contraction???

    Hey yeah i got 0.3m too. Because the length contraction occurs in the electron's frame of reference so relative to the electron the distance will be shorter (0.24m). However, in the laboratory the actual distance will be 0.3m. I was stressing over this question cos i didnt know in which frame...

    one gene - one protein?

    The one gene - one protein hypothesis simply means that each gene on our chromosomes is controlled by a specific protein. Without this protein (or enzyme) the gene would not function properly. This was demonstrated by Beadle and Tatum when they showed that bread mould after being exposed to...

    Titration problem

    Question 17 (b) in the 2005 STANSW Trial Paper: A student used the titration process to determine the concentration of a potassium hydroxide solution. She found that 25.00 mL of a 0.1 mol/L sulfuric acid solution reacted with exactly 10.00 mL of the potassium hydroxide solution. Calculate the...
