You seem to be overestimating the state's ability, also you're forgetting that this is the 2nd highest level mathematics this state has to offer.

hm ...
i'm not sure, but our head maths teacher is a 3u HSC marker and on the committee that determines the cut off marks for each band.
i'm pretty sure she said that 70s out of 84 would be E4 no problem.
i don't think it would be as low as the 40s.. or even the 50s to be honest.
maybe 60s?
plus, i thought the exam was harder than last year's paper definitely.
i suddenly realised how to do the two one mark questions in question 6 as soon as i got home !
daayuuumm.

Now, I don't think the exam was easy, it was a little different to other years' papers as well... >_>
I can't imagine the cut off for an E4 will be >64... I would say that the cut-off lie around the 54-58 mark. Depends on everyone's performance

It'll just depends on the rest of the state but from what i gather, everyone most people got screwed over by the "different" style of questions asked.

To let people learn off by heart that they should study the subject, not the questions. (IMO)I heard general had different types of Qs too.
Why are we getting weird exams?

Usually questions 1-5 are nice and easy, then question 6 is fine and question 7 is challenging. This time around questions 1-4 were easy, then questions question 5 was fine, question 6-7 was challenging. The questions themselves also required different proofs/working out to the usual exam questions.
LOL no idea, hopefully the science exams are fine and i don't think they can really screw up my modern exam XDI heard general had different types of Qs too.

all sorts of crap happens behind the scenes in the board....just ignore it and worry about your next exam
this test was pretty easy, i shoulda got at lest 79, but coz i rushed i made heaps of silly errors, and that pisses me off, i reckon i got about 70 to mid 70s, would that scale up to 47/50 or not ? ps, q 6 b ii) was a stupid englishy type question
