Heya, would you be able to upload one of the pdfs of the raw marks? I'm trying to decide whether or not to get them so I wanna know what they're like! Congrats on your great marks. :)

I don't understand the whole "science is being neglected" argument when Biology, Phys and Chem are all some of the most taken courses in the HSC, with around 10000+ in the candidature for the latter two and 15000 for Bio. Social sciences are a different story though - Geography has less than...

In all honesty, not a lot. I didn't write practice essays for anything except English (and only 1 for each module) and didn't do any past papers for anything other than maths and multiple choice in other subjects. Apart from that the bulk of my study was on maths because I enjoyed it. For me, it...

Maths Extension 1 (47) and Extension History (49). I'm kind of annoyed for some reason haha.

I was way surprised! After my results I expected like 99.8 but before them I was thinking 99 was almost impossible.

And I got 97 moderated this year and came 2nd in Geo if that helps at all!

99.90! 2nd in Geography, 14th in English Advanced, so happy!!!

English Advanced - 98 Ancient History - 97 Geography - 97 Mathematics - 96 Economics - 94 Mathematics Ext 1 - 47/50 History Extension - 49/50 So pleased, hoping for state ranks in English and geography!

I was so surprised by MX1 - I tied first with a couple of others but it still looks pretty. :D

What I noticed about this year's exams is that they were harder for the reason that they seemed to want you to think more; there was less "here's a syllabus dot point, enjoy" and more "here's something that isn't particularly hard but you won't have seen it before". Also, the tests seemed to...

Loooved Question 1 - it was kinda different so it allowed you to be a bit creative. I talked about Herodotus, Bede, Ranke, Renaissance historians (Machiavelli), Martin Bernal, Carr and Elton. Question 2 was shit for the crusades - not pleased haha but I think I got through it okay.

If you guys have the paper could you take photos of the MC section and upload? Thanks :)

Hahahaha 87!? Are you kidding me? That was a) a pretty hard test with a very narrow focus and b) a cutoff of 87 is so super high!

Sorry for intererting you man.

I'm sure they will allow either. The question was fairly broad - how did the country respond to the international business cycle, so it didn't stipulate either way - so you could answer it in terms of integration or counter-cyclical policies. Your teacher is very likely wrong. The BoS won't...

I don't think the difficulty of the essay questions for economics really changes much from year to year; it's just about personal strengths. For example, Topic 4 was my worst and so I didn't like the essays, but I love protection and environment, so I would have loved last years paper. This...

Your reasoning is correct but the sale of govt securities decreases the money supply, because the RBA is selling the securities and collecting the money (taking it out of the money supply), increasing the cash rate. You're right about Q17 BTW, I can't believe I got that wrong, urghhh! It's in...

Could someone explain why Q17 would be D? I'm at a loss here

Holy crap dude, how many words do you write a line?! And out of curiosity, what was the breakdown of your raw marks?

Hahaha we'll see! I got 95 in trials with HSC markers so I'd be disappointed with anything lower than a B6! I hope you did well too :)
