it looked easier than it was, found it fairly challenging but not as hard as other trials, got mid-high 80s

ru referring to nesa sample?

Yep I am

U guys making me feel dumb haha

 

[Haruto_65]

The sample paper was actually pretty easy compared to school trial papers and stuff. There weren't any surprises and it was straight from the syllabus.

 

[beetree1]

Yep I am

U guys making me feel dumb haha

ohhh nice i think i got around 90, took me ages though
BUT no dont worry, you still have 3 days!!!!! focus on doing the stuff you're not confident in and honestly your mark barely matters it scales up hella well

Ohhh I thought you were talking about BOS paper haha. Nah the NESA sample paper was pretty cruisy tbh

Haha yeah I'm just hoping I can scrape in to that 70-80 cutoff for E4 haha

But that's unlikely

WE get it ur smart

But that's unlikely

Nah, its more than likely! Depending on the paper, a raw mark of 60 in exam could potentially still land you a E4

But that's unlikely

i feel you I'm hoping for 75-80 to barely cop an E4 but hopefully i can surpass my expectations

WTF a 60!!!!!! also e4 means "band 6" right like a 90+?

Ya lol, apparently raw mark of 60-70+ usually correlates to B6 is guess. Honestly its not that surprising cause majority of the cohort don't even finish the entire paper.

 

[MrGresh]

Yeah, marks adjust up a lot. I think getting >75 assures you an E4 (i.e. band 6) almost every year

 

[erucibon]

I found it pretty difficult - took 2 and a half hours just to finish it and I ended up with mid-90’s

You are 100% state ranking with a score like that in BOS

oh good........

Damn pretty sure if you get that it will be a new record for the BOS maths ext 2 exam. Highest so far in the exams was last year which was an 80 and that beat the previous record by quite a few marks

Also pretty sure a few of the previous participants have been math olympians and all that good stuff and they couldn’t get 90+.

mayb he lyin

Do you do IMO?

 

[MrGresh]

omg thank u so much. i got in the 50s in trials and i didnt study for it and my rank was <5 (i go to trash public school tho) so im hoping if i cram the next two days i might be able to push my mark into the 60s thats all i want tbh i think my internals might carry me but i lowkey think i fcked my chance at getting a band 6 i did kinda good internally and have a good rank but externals is effdsjds im sorry for rambling omg im scared

Look, the reality is that if u get like 50 in 4u it still scales briliantly lol

Theres a solid argument for me to just work on bio rn because that will help my atar way more haha
