    My solutions to the 2019 Mathematics Extension 2 Paper

    Yeah, it's a perfect combo. It's 97.5 guaranteed entry. You can either do actuarial studies combined with science (major maths), or actuarial studies combined with advanced maths (extra honours year of maths).

    He literally carried our school from the late 400s to the 300s. So hopefully he gives you hope

    My solutions to the 2019 Mathematics Extension 2 Paper

    Fair enough. I was hoping actuarial studies with maths at unsw. And If it helps, last year there was only one guy in 4u and he was similarly expecting really high marks. Unfortunately he bombed (for his standards (I don't mean to insult anyone) - he got 93 I believe) the exam because he knew it...

    I go to a school in the 300s. I've had the exact same experience. If you don't mind revealing, what do you plan on doing after school? Maybe we'll see eachother at uni

    Moderation??

    You still don't know enough about your peer's marks to predict your internals. Don't lose hope

    My solutions to the 2019 Mathematics Extension 2 Paper

    When trying to look at it from an outside perspective, we should be glad. I don't know about you, but when I first started all I wanted was a band e4, and now I'm disappointed with a mid-high e4 because I was in the mid 90s raw range for most past papers (not trying to be arrogant here). Whilst...

    I know exactly how you feel. I literally didn't see an entire 3 mark question, in addition to me making significantly more silly mistakes than I have made in any exam prior.

    Moderation??

    In cases where students have performed very poorly (compared to their rank in their class), nesa excludes them from moderation and rather considers them as outliers. Although the fact that 3 students performed poorly is a little worrying. It all depends on the rest if the class I guess, but if...

    Moderation??

    In my example, second column is the school (un-moderated) mark, and third is external if I didn't make that clear enough.

    Moderation??

    Where did you hear this?

    Moderation??

    What is the distribution like across your whole class. A 3 mark gap between you and 5th sounds promising but there's no way of knowing what that means without comparison to more people. I'm going to speak very roughly here, but say it goes like this Internal (school given mark)...

    Moderation??

    You also need to consider exactly what your internal marks were (not just rank). They calculate your internal mark based on how far off of other people you are. So despite being 8th, and 9th getting 80, is your school mark very close to 9th's or is there a big gap between you two? If you guys...

    Hoping 96. As long as it's not 94, I'll be happy.

    Maths Extension 2 predictions/thoughts?

    The way I did it, was finding the probability that B wins, which is the sum of (A loses the B wins, A loses the B loses the A loses then B wins etc). Then you taking the limiting sum of this geometric series and set it greater then 1/2. The result follows.

    Maths Extension 2 predictions/thoughts?

    Turns out I somehow didn't see a 3 mark question. Rip. Now looking at high 80s. 97 still achievable?

    Maths Extension 2 predictions/thoughts?

    What do you guys think the raw cutoff for 95, 96, 97, 98, and 99 aligned? I think I got 88-93 raw. I was going for 98 aligned, but I stressed a lot in the exam, and so now I'm thinking I'll get 96/97 aligned. What do you guys think?

    English Advanced Paper 2 Exam Thoughts

    Anyone remember the actual question for mod c (advanced)? Lots of people seem to be worrying that they didn't add titles but I though we were continuing the excerpt and thus did not need a title (not to mention I didn't even know we generally need title in the first place)?

    HSC Standard/Advanced Paper 1 Exam Thoughts

    Wait. I do advanced. Is it possible you guys got a poster and we didn't? Edit: After seeing the poster, I realise we definitely did not have a poster. I guess it was unique to standard.
