What do you guys think the band 6 cut off is for this year? I found this year one of the hardest out of all years. Same for my teacher, she said this year will scale very high.

Dw, it will be 80 or below. I myself, and my peers found this year to b alot harder other years. Usually every year, chem needs a raw mark of like 78-82 to get 90.

does anyone know where we can get a copy of the paper?

You have to wait for nesa to release it on their website it will take one or two days, otherwise I think some people have scanned/copied it so maybe try asking them for it? (idk who though so don't ask me who)

what raw mark would be needed then to be scaled to like a 78 or 80

probs a 68, can scale there

INDUSTRIAL: how to do you determine if the equilibrium reaction was at equilibrium? Isn't it always at equilibrium, just that it shifts left or right?

btw who else found MC way harder this year?

Nope not always. Look at my solutions here: http://community.boredofstudies.org/1255/chemistry/371002/hsc-chemistry-paper-answers.html

93-95 Probs. Some people found the exam harder than previous years (which i have no clue what part of it was genuinely difficult, apart from a few marks here and there which is expected), then maybe (MAYBE) 96 but idk if it's worth getting your hopes too high. Honestly I thought it was a very standard exam.

You can look at rawmarks.info for data on how past years raw marks were aligned

How many did you talk about? i thought u had to talk about 3 since it wanted improvements due to tech.

Sorry for late reply, I only talked about two (diaphragm and membrane) cause I was just comparing the technological improvements from diaphragm-->membrane but I sure did stuff up cause I didn't write about mercury and I'm pretty sure you had to talk about all three
