112/120 (i.e. did not attempt Q8b)

That would be assuming of course that the board doesn't consider any of my proofs false, my reasons invalid, and that I made no arithmetic mistakes.

So let's say 105.

I see a lot of mixed reviews about whether it was easy or hard. I think it was just different, no? I mean it had that inconsistent and 'weird' vibe that usually independent trial papers have.

After looking at some solutions, I'm going to knock this down to a nice 100-105 ;)

That's a bit disappointing for you, isn't it?
going into the exam, probably yeah. but granted, the questions in the exam were really odd and unlike anything i had ever seen before, especially some (8c,d, some parts of 4 and 5). not to mention, there were so many questions which annoyed me in that so much working was required for so little marks, so it didn't really work out well. even if i don't do spectacularly (i think my exam mark will be 96), my rank coupled with the fact that the top person says she got basically everything, will help me bring it up to a 97 hopefully :)

I found the test impossible. I am expecting 40 if lucky. From Q 2 onwards, I was shattered. Am I looking at a E2 or E1 for that?

apparently someone got 39/120 and ended up with 73 HSC mark.. and 73 HSC mark in 4unit still equates to a 40+ scaled mark, which is preety good, and will go along way for an atar aim of 90+

I'm thinking (and hoping really hard) that I got 100/120, although there were probably a few silly mistakes that I didn't see. But whatever, I just want to get a mid-high or something E4.

Probably around 75-80, depending on how many sympathy marks they give me heh :p
annoyed with myself, because I'd done a very similar mechanics question before and that conics question was in one of my assessments. :(
I'm not happy as I know I could've done much better, but one makes stupid decisions under pressure running on about an hour's sleep... fuck you insomnia :(

You have as your sig : Ext 1 Maths // Ext 2 Maths // Adv Eng // Chem // Bio

ATAR AIM: 96+

My eldest son did the HSC in 2008 with the exact same subjects, failed MX2 (pobably got around under 50 raw but got a 75 aligned).
BTW he got (reported/HSC) marks of : Eng A 84/86; MX1 92/92; Chem 91/90 & Bio 88/90 and scored a UAI of 96.40. If you put those figures into the Einstein calculator available now it comes to an ATAR of 97.25 so it is possible.

Best of luck.
