i hate people who brag too...

my opinions: everything wasn't that bad, except i must admit that it was a hard test compared to 2004 hsc and catholic trials.

and 10 wasn't that bad even though i know i got all of b wrong.

overall, i was aimimg for a high 90, but i guess i'll settle with anything in the 90s snce it was a pretty hard test.

anyways don't worry...i am sure everyone thought it was a bit challenging than usual... but i think everyone will be pleasantly surprised!

**my maths teacher said that the statistics from a recent year showed that to get a band 6, you need a raw mark of around 86/120
86/120 from past years? well since this one was harder, that should mean you'll need less to get a band 6 right? ?
i agree, it was soo much harder than catholic. i got 97% in catholic and in this one im thinkn ill get 100/120.
Well that's great! I hope we all do well... Its almost over guys!!

yeah 2u maths was ok- i worked well until question 10, which was probably only difficult because i ran out of time. in saying that im not overly confident like some people out there-good for you's,but i did find it was a challenging test!
on the note of what you said holla back girl, i also worked through 2004 hsc, and did really well in it and generally found it easier, hence my conclusion that 2004 paper was easier than our one. and im not debating whether that is true or not but i thought that maybe i found todays exam more difficult because of the added pressure of an exam room, time constraints, etc. like i know i didnt time myself properly when doing the past papers, so maybe its the same case with you? and that is why you find the 2004 paper easier?

anyway not that it really matters! just acknowledging your experiences! back to today's exam- whose a 3u kid that found the test hard? im a 3u kid, and admittingly it was a challenging test-but that not to say i think i failed or something!

ROFL I don't consider getting only 9 q's right making the test easy =P

Sigh I found it bloody hard- I left out one bit from q10 =( ... fortunately everyone (EXCEPT HIRAL- so if you ever read this- stuff u~ jkjk) found it really hard; and I usually gauge a test's difficulty by how people in my school go~ if we find it hard, it probably was. *phew*

Did any of you guys get random ppl talking to you at busstops/shops about how you found 2u? I had several randoms ask me >_> My reply- "**** hard."
And me Jeff, and me........

yeah i do 3u and i would say a hard test is one that gets top marks of round 80%. This one, challenging definitely, especially compared to past few hsc's maybe theyre trying to dicriminate a bit more or something. I went over the test now and im looking at getting about 100-110, If it wasnt for that volume question and question 10 i would have done prety mad. How about everyone else

good thing at Marcellin we got 10 minutes extra rofl, the lady was too old and cudnt read our clocks :D

Yea right, we didn't get 10 min extra, they said pens down after 3 hours and 5 min, cause of the 5 min reading time, mabey you didnt put your pen down

Yeh, i agree. if it wasn;t 4 Qu10 i would be set, like round 110. but with added loss (if that makes sense) of marks in Qu10, i rekn 100ish mayb. but we'll c wen the results come bak..

lets not ever speak of that test again, in fact lets deny its existence, so when they hand results everyone says 'what is the meaning of this, i never did such a test in my life (in english accent)' and everyone lives happily ever after without a shot uai

I shit you not. I expect to get all 9 questions right, except maybe about 3/4 marks, and at least half in the 10th question right. I was expecting everyone to say it was about 'average', but instead EVERYONE said it was hard.

You guys, you've really made my day, I thank you all.
Am I the only one who found it ironic he claims it's so easy but is only expecting about 75%?

Haha, what? Do your maths kid, he's expecting ~92%

That test was really easy; straightforward bookwork - ofcourse with the exception of question 10 - I'm NOT trying to be snobbish, but I'm thoroughly perplexed how people can say that its harder than all the past papers - maybe you guys took 9 hours to do them with your books open? I dunno, I'm just incredibly surprised at the reactions, I thought the test was average and fair.

Exactly, the only reason it was "harder" this year is because you didn't have the solutions lying open next to you when you did the test, the BOS doesn't design the test with the objective of making it deliberately much harder than those of the last few years.
