ur a highschool student stop pretending you are smart or know anything about the way these subjects work at a higher level :)
whilst i agree physics should have more demanding calculations writing eloquently is an important facet of pure physics (not as relevant to things like engineering).

instead of being salty and complaining like a little kid "
This question really should be a 1 marker multiple choice with four paragraph options. There's no good reason this should be a 7 marker besides testing your writing skills. This would be a perfect multiple choice question, not so much a section 2 question. Not only that, these marking schemes are ambiguous for no reason. The sample answer uses quantitative analysis, even though it only asked for an explanation?


These questions do not belong in physics. Board of Studies (superseded by NESA) even acknowledged these topics "History of Physical discoveries" in the pre 2000s syllabus, as an optional topic for those who don't want to study physics at a higher level. " go practice writing the response. It's one thing to be able to think about how to answer a question and it's another to be able to actually write out a response --> it's like teaching a concept you can only do it if you really understand it.

And in general anything you do in highschool will be done in like 3 weeks in university, doesn't really matter anyway.

bro I'm hoping someone from like SMH quotes my posts soon. NESA needs to know just how miserable our science education is compared to other states in Australia and overseas. Nobody else has complained as vocally as me, however I'm sure many others share the same opinion on our science syllabus, i.e. too much writing and politics at the expense of course rigour and depth.

If someone ran a standardized science exam among most recent high school graduates, I wouldn't doubt NSW would come dead last. Who's fault will it be? certainly the failed education system. I find it funny how Americans say that their HS curriculum is so low quality, yet they haven't seen NSW's. Americans get to do AP courses in High School, which are much more rigorous than any HSC subject except extension 2 maths. Americans genuinely get a better High School education than New South Waliens.
I remember seeing a comp once for high schools students to submit opinion pieces to smh
