i got 111/120 but looking at the marking guidelines there was some stupid things like the very first question how u where supposed to write the whole number before writing it to 3 sig figures and the one on sec3x = x or something i lost a mark coz i didnt draw y=x...its not that hard to visualise

I dont think mine was CSSA, what other math trials are there? My school definately bought them they told us so and didn't let us take them due to strict guidelines.

well done bdogz! really solid effort there.
erm...i got smack bang on 90%...that's like 108.
Not terrible, but not fantastic considering I topped extension 1 and should be getting more like 114+ (i.e. 95%+).
My problem was that I got cocky and was like, "nar, I don't need to revise, it's 2U!! I got 96% in mid-yearly, so I should be fine"...

Although I will add that I got 9% above the others which will push me into second place with about a gap between first and I of around ~1-2% which I can live with I guess as 2U won't count for me next year anyway! :D

I hope everyone else gets pleasing results.

It's the number facing up on the dice ie the one you see in an aerial view of the dice rolled :)

When i looked at the 2U paper today, i had to read that question quite a few times before i understood what they meant.

It really depends on your externals, but if you got 100/120 for CSSA trials you should be able to get a band 6. If you got in the 90s you still have band 6 potential, just aim to ace the external HSC exams :)

I did terrible - 78/120. But that's 2nd in my Adv Maths class (Out of 9)

For Ext1 I got 36/84....even worse :(
That's 3rd out of 4

Maybe I should study.

wat would a raw HSC mark of 88 be scaled to.. and 90? in adv. maths????
The HSC 2U maths exam is out of 120, so do you mean 88/120? If so that would prob get you about an 82-83. Im pretty sure that band 6 (90) usually equals about 100-105/120, and on a really easy paper (e.g. 2008) i think it would have been about 109/120.
