Haha, while that is true, all I said was that redfield reminded me of him.

Oh ok. Is it all the lanuages?

Yeh, lol.

Cheers for the insight.

The quicker method, surely you're referring to the substitution method?

It's the "mental method" - a hybrid of the substitution and equating the coefficients (when necessary)

Say you have

Sub in x=2 to . Get this number and write it on top of x-2

Sub x=-4 to , write on top of x+4

So in partial fractions:



If the question contains repeated linear factors, like this:

Sub in x=2 to . Get this number and write it on top of (x-2)²

Sub x=-4 to , write on top of x+4

Now for the number on top of (x-2) I equate the coefficients of x²



So in partial fractions:

i think he is reffering to the "supa cool method"

suppose:

5x = a(x-2) + b(x)
what you can do is,
let x = 0
thus you can solve for a straightaway
then for b
you let x = 2
which will make a = 0 and you can get b straightaway again.

if you call this substitution method, then you are not doing this method justice.
get it right and call it "supa cool method".

Sometimes I use this, but usually the above.

Looking at your subject marks, I reckon that as long as your English is up there, you may actually get 99.95. Infact, you remind me of Laurie Fields.

funny that you mentioned that, I thought the exact same thing

ill be happy if i can average 80 thanks

its a pretty cool way, but if you were to think about it, you are just using the "supa cool method" but just skipping a whole lot of working out lines. which makes your method quicker.

i shall give you a few names to name your method, you obviously have the honour of choosing them;

supa cool method 2.0
supa cool method 2
supa lynch method
method of death
supa fast method
awesomeness
VERY NICE
and finally my favourite
partial fraction in 10 seconds.

(y)

EDIT: i see you already have given a name. :-(

what the fuck!@#$@%@

what raw mark should i be aiming to get 93-94 overall?

90+

Interesting

 

[Aerath]

90+

Hmm, no offense, I sorta disagree, 90, I reckon would be more than 93-94. =\ [I could be wrong though]

 

[Top Secret]

Imo, 90/120 would scale to 90-95.

Now to watch Two and a Half Men. XD

Is that it? 90+, how do you guys know the raw marks=scaled marks data?

 

[shaon0]

Well as you already know, Hugh Parsonage got 87/120 which equated to 93 HSC marks. Hopefully that gives you an idea.

Anyway, back on topic - 2004: 92/120

Oh ok. Seems reliable then. btw, got 108/120 for SGS 06, lost most of my marks on Q2 and the circle geo

 

[jackc91]

Did anybody else find the 05 paper fairly difficult?

I managed 81/120.

Yeah, i did this paper in the beginning. Got 97/120

 

[lychnobity]

I must say, it was much harder than the papers from the last few years, and prior to it.

 

[yibbon]

2006: 93/120

Marked it very strictly, however being easy on the errors my mark would have been 99/120.

 

[shaon0]

Just did HSC 1999 and got 114/120 but i found the probability to be hard and the last part of the circle geo.

 

[harry4]

i did 2006 last night and got 71%-would that be E4 orE3

 

[redfield]

Definately an E4. Anything over 70% is an E4. I'm pretty sure the person who sets the band cut-offs each yr for 4u sets them quite low (usually in the 60%s). I think last yr's paper was fairly difficult though, cause I know a few guys who got E4s and they reckoned they got 71-75/120. But anyway, yes, 71% would be an E4.

 

[UltimateSupremo]

wat hsc mark would equate to 70% raw mark, generally?
