Not much of an opinion on modules 1 and 2. For module 3 they seemed to go quite heavy on semiconductors and charged particles in magnetic fields last year... So prob due for something nasty on photoelectric effect/quantised radiation. Most people tend to like superconductors and theres only so...

Feedback for Physics Exam 4 There were only 4 participants. The average was 10.5/20. The highest mark was 16. The toughest questions were: Q4: Astronaut g-force (0% got this) Q6: Orbital period ratio given radius increase (0% got this) Q14: Calculating electric field strength from force...

Feedback for Physics Exam 3 There were 6 participants. The raw average was 9.3/20. Excluding marks below 5 the average was 12.4. The highest mark was 15. The toughest questions were: Q8: Tricky weight force/magnetic force/parallel conducting wire/voltage problem (0% got this) Q10: Tricky...

Feedback for Chem Exam 5 There were 10 participants. The raw average was 30/50. The highest mark was 42… Great effort. The toughest questions were: Q17: Predicting radioactive isotopes (0% got this) Q48: The water treatment process (10% got this) Q16: Properties of radioisotopes wrt to...

Ok thanks... point taken. I agree the superconducting question is probably a bit ambiguous. I will update Q20. I have also updated Q8 to make the answer more clear. Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated.

Q8: I think my answer is correct. You need to use the angle to find out the length of the wire which is in the magnetic field. This is similar to Q7 in 2006 HSC exam which caught a lot of people out. Q12: I have changed the wording of the question to “least likely” to eliminate this...

Ok cheers for letting me know... will take a look now.

Hi all, I have put up another 20 question physics exam (there are now 4 in total). I will put up feedback for Exam 3 tomorrow. The highest score is 15 so far.... Give it a go if you haven't already. Not long now... Goodluck!

Feedback for Chem Exam 4 There were 8 participants. The raw average was 32.2/50. This is the highest average so far. No scores below 10. The highest mark was 41… Great effort. The toughest questions were: Q1: Tricky bromine water experiment question (0% got this) Q23: Sources of NOx (12.5%...

There is generally a titration question every year as well...

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 6/7 mark question on a tricky galvanic cell of some sort. There were large short answer questions on galvanic cells in 2009 and 2011, but they were lightly tested in 2010 and 2012...

Feedback for Physics Exam 2 There were 12 participants. The raw average was 14.4/20. Higher than Exam 1 (where the average was 13.4/50). The highest mark was 19. No perfect Scores! The toughest questions were: Q2: Projectile motion (28% got this) Q3: Tricky escape velocity question (37%...

Cheers for the feedback... much appreciated. Let me know what you think of the exam and any additions/improvements you think could be made. 99 sounds right given your school and ranks. Though the ATAR planner's function is more help you break down your goal ATAR into percentile goals and then...

Hi hjed, Sorry only just saw this... thanks for letting me know on Q4, will take a look at the back end and see if I can find the issue. For question 20. These are my full notes on magnetic levitation: 1. Magnetic levitation occurs if a magnet is brought near a superconductor below its...

There is less difference between lower ranked schools. For example: A School ranked 150 will have approx 10% of units taken get a band 6. For a school ranked 200, around 8% of units taken will get a band 6. However, for james ruse (rank 1)- 69% of units taken will get a band 6. For the...

I get ard 60 assuming 200+ school... english hurting you. Focus on Bio

I get 75... english really hurting

Assuming your school ranks 90 I get around 82 ATAR. Maths and ancient the subjects that will lift your ATAR the most (all else equal). Goodluck tomorrow
