Ok sweet onlooker. So i just gotta smash this exam. And hope all top 5 extension kids smash it aswell.
Say i come first in my school for the exams by a substantial mark? Would i get that mark or would i still get the 6th place mark?

Your final HSC marks is the average of your scaled exam mark and your aligned internal mark. So no matter what you get your exam mark. It also affects your internal mark in how it is scaled. How much by will depend on how the rest of your grade goes (not just the 5 extension kids, surely there are some other reasonably good kids), and how close you are from rank 1. If rank 1 is way ahead of everyone else then your aligned assessment (internal mark) won't be affected that much, assuming your mark is the number 1 mark. But say you're only a few marks back that it will have significantly more impact.

Really though, you want everyone in your grade to ace the exam as well, because then you will be scaled up more. You don't want to be the only one who gets 100-105+.

Also the Gosford High trial was the independant schools trial, which was pretty easy this year. Just random fact for person above.

because i am slow! my maths teachers have taught me so that i basically write down EVERY line of working, and it takes me forever to do plane geometry and trig.

JUST GOT 113/120 for 2007 HSC! :drink:
that's gotta be a mid to high band 6?!

WOW!:uhhuh: i found 2007 really really easy. probably because i didn't do any work in year 11 but worked my arse off in calculus.

bring on a 2009 paper with calculus for 9 and 10.
