Band 6 (2 Viewers)

[Deep Blue]

Band E4

How hard is it to achieve an E4 in Extension 2 Mathematics? What would be the minimum raw mark required? How much in terms of study is required?

 

[Aindan]

around 70/120. maybe 1 hour a day?

How much in terms of study is required?

Depends on how bright you are and your prior foundation. For those who don't have what it takes, maybe even 5 hrs a day won't help.

It appears you are doing both 3U and 4U this year, your yr 11 - presumably you are blindingly bright.

 

[Deep Blue]

So you only really need about 70/120? That's not too bad. Yeah, I'm year 11, doing 3 and 4 unit this year. I guess I'm pretty bright and study shouldn't be too much trouble if I neglect my prelim subjects a little, because really, they don't matter compared to MX2 and is thats the really advantage of doing it accelerated). Thanks for the help. It's good to have a general idea of where to aim for in the past papers and in the actual exam.

It's called a band E4.

 

[Deep Blue]

Thanks for the clarification. I completely forgot it was a E4 instead of a B6.

say swear?

 

[slyhunter]

Wut.

 

[x_cp3]

Thought it was the same thing bro.

 

[slyhunter]

There's only 4 bands for extension subjects.

It also depends on the cohort and the difficulty of the exam. As far as I know, the band cut-offs each year are decided by the examiners board after raw marking so that they have a feel about how everybody did and what marks demonstrate what skills.

Would you happen to know the raw mark cut offs from last year perhaps?

 

[slyhunter]

Wasn't it ~65-70?

Well no, lol. The Board of Studies doesn't publish those. The best data you can get is the scaling data produced by the UAC.

 

[slyhunter]

I'm going off raw marks posted by members last year. Any halp?

 

[Deep Blue]

Yes, I know. If the best estimate is 65-70 I am happy to leave it at that. Thanks for all the help.

 

[jet]

I can't say for sure but I'd say it's around that. If we had some people who have been given raw marks we could interpolate.

 

[Aquawhite]

Often the raw mark is around 70, I believe. I do remember some people posting their raw HSC marks of the years it is fluctuates between high 60s to mid 70s.

pretty easy if you can drill every formula need in your head.

Basically once you memorize every formula and can apply properly you'll get the band
