bc everyones saying its the easiest exam theyve ever sat but are not comparing it w other years ig

from where? it's definitely harder than 2024.

i mean just count the "hard questions", 2024 only had like 10 marks of hard questions, 2025 had significantly more.

hence it's reasonable to assume the cutoff will be atleast 3 marks lower (4.3%)

2025 MX1 E4 cutoff will be 49/70 (70.00%), since it was 47/70 (67.14%)in 2021 (just slightly harder)

people are saying e4 cutoff is going to be extremely high this year. what do we think guys? would cutoff be near a 60/70?

No I thought it was harder than last year if not the same
Plus, 60/70 is way too high for ext, that's worse than adv, definitely not gonna happen

I feel like unless it's jaw-droppingly hard someone always says it's the easiest

we'll see

everyone also thought the 2024 math advanced exam was so hard , yet alignment was trash.

so the feelings of people doesn't determine the cutoff score

 

[coolcat6778]

bro there are so many factors as to why i didnt get 57/70

the main one is:
stupid fucking writing booklets (6 separate A3 sheets) (5 minutes of time wasted)

the second:
my seating position

the third:
our table size, smaller than a plane's table

ngl i think it's just selective bias tbh

 

[coolcat6778]

I'm actually so pissed off at the stupid writing booklets we get for math.

Who's idea was it to give us 3 pages of working space per booklet , the only thing NESA saves money on is staples

 

[coolcat6778]

this is what our writing booklets should look like

 

[coolcat6778]

I just counted mx1 from 2021, only 14 marks of hard questions, meanwhile 2025 had 15 marks of hard questions.

this means alignment will be similar to 2021.

it definitely wont be as trash as 2024 tho

so much more practical instead of asking for 5 extra booklets

depends on whether our cohort is stronger than 21 tbh

hopefully its trash (I have hope as personally our mx1 class wasn't full of the brightest)

or maybe ur just bad at maths like stop blaming the table and seating plane lol thats some crazy coping strategy

A 76 went to a 90 that's literally the second best year

A good school cohort is gonna pull you up, a bad one will push you down, so shouldn't you hope they're good?

talking about the rest of the state, and my internal rank is high enough not to be affected by lower people.

Fair enough, but it’s only a two mark difference anyway
