do they take marks off for carry on errors? say for e.g the volume q , if u got the volume wrong, then ur rate would have been wrong...
if ur method is right do they give u marks LOL
HSC uses ECF marking (error carried forward) - so you lose a mark for the initial mistake, then if you use that mistake (eg. i got the volume wrong in Q5 cos i forgot how to find volume of a fkn prism... - and used it to answer the rest of the question - so i'll lose one mark for the initial mistake then get the rest correct =D)

It'd never be 70s.
I agree with you there, but there are certain people who feel that the test was EXTREMELY EASY.

I can't wait till they get results back, when their mark differs from what they had believed they had gotten.

Aha i know XD

But nah, this exam might've been "easy" but compared to the other papers, it had a weird binomial question ^^

Pure guess: 58-62/84.

Paper was quite fair, wouldn't you say so? They gave us every opportunity to
get marks in questions 1-5 and then made us work hard for them in the last
two questions.
And I admit, I totally failed the last two. I think I got around 67/84, quite content.

Just WOW to all those people expecting great marks. Congrats:)
