Marking Feedback for Q11 MX1: All around a good performance on a question with parts of varying difficulty. Students should learn to try and manage their time well, so attempting the start of questions can easily help pick up marks. For 11(a), multiple methods worked, especially simplifying the...

Hi all, I marked Q13 of the MX2 and below is my feedback. Keep in mind that I will still have the question papers until the end of the week so if you want specific feedback send me a DM. Overall, a tough question at face value, but once the tricks are recognised, and if strong justification is...

QUESTION 12: A decent effort on a tough question. With an average mark of roughly 4.5/15, and a top score of 13/15, it is crucial to pick up any marks where necessary. The variety in topics combined with time restraints made this question difficult overall. Q12a could only progress if the...

QUESTION 11: Throughout the marking period, I found the answers tended to vary in style and methodology. With an average of 7.23, and a maximum of 14, it was clear that individuals struggled in certain aspects. (a) Students who successfully used 10^n = (7+3)^n and provided clear logical...

Good morning, From being a BoS student to now marking the exam 3 years later makes me really honoured to be a part of this community. Thank you to Trebla for helping organise this. I'll post my marker's comments in the next two replies.

Anyone know where I can get the exam from now that it is complete?

Pretty sure you need 95+ Raw for a state rank but it also depends on your internal mark.

anyone got a copy of the paper? wanna have a look over some qs

In general, the top of the state gets 93/94 raw. There is no way that 10% of the phys cohort will get more than 86

solutions from NGO and SUNS didn't show that |r| < 1 for 4 marker at the end. I think they would lose a mark

2 things, Looking for a copy of the paper, is there anything anywhere? With the rotation of the conic point thingo, i made it into a complex number and multiplied by i then converted it back. It got me the answer so I hope I'm not wrong.

Congrats to whoever got 74 and 70 thats pretty good on a fairly challenging paper

Honestly you can't tell. They could do probability again just a different style of question, seeing as 2016 and 2017 last question were from vastly different areas of probability. They literally could ask a hard question on halving the interval (was in my trial once), Pascal's triangle or even...

Noone from my school has ever seen balance. Everyone was very confused at what is exactly balanced? Is it another word for unity?

When are the solutions coming up, just out of curiosity?

Honestly if anyone passes either of them, they pretty much can guarantee a state rank. Thank god this is not the hsc lmaoooooo

Both the papers were challenging and orginal in their own ways. Questions such as the milk one in 3u and non-uniform circular which turned into a projectile were both creative and challenging. Thanks again for an amazing day, never gonna forget being humiliated that much!!!!!

What about more specifically in engineering, I'm doing 4u maths and aiming for 90 raw which is pretty solid. What's the difference between uni and school maths as well?

How useful is maths in real life? Please tell me it is

Anyone remember the questions or have a copy? My school writes their own trials and always love to see the Catholic ones as they are usually harder.
