Is it possible to get 100% raw mark? (1 Viewer)

[juampabonilla]

Guys just wondering if it is possible to get full marks in the actual test and if anyone has done it before. Just asking cause some of the questions in question 7 and 8 are freaking hard/

 

[RealiseNothing]

Yes.

Quite a lot of people get very close to full marks, and can get full marks in questions 7 and 8.

With practice you realise the last questions really aren't difficult.

If you believe in yourself

The later questions are nowhere near as difficult as they used to be.

When were they ever hard?

When were they ever hard?

back in the 30s

 

[glittergal96]

Got any examples? Am just curious.

Not really, questions from the 80's etc were harder than now but they still aren't that hard.

Yeah, I did all the finals Q's from about 80 onwards last year and they were all fairly easy.

How would u guys recommend me to get better? (especially geometry, I suck at geo)

You know this is not the case for the vast majority of people. Seems like I gave you an opportunity to boast.

I'm curious, why has the level of HSC 4U papers difficulty been dropped so much over the past 100 years? Or even, over the past 30 years?

Hmmm .... not sure.

On a completely unrelated matter, did you realise that the fraction of females teaching 'high level' maths has increased over the last 100 years, even the last 30 years?

You can say the same for all levels of maths.

Not to mention the physics syllabus, which has been dumbed down to the point where you need very little quantitative grasp of concepts to do well. (Nor are you rewarded for properly understanding these concepts.)

Correlation does not imply causation. But I like your mischievous suggestion.

Also of course there has been a dumbing down trend over the last 30 years, as in HSC Physics. When I went to uni, perhaps only 1 in 40 in Australia went; now virtually everyone goes.

Better if you make a new thread, as it is not related to the current one.
