What marks should I be aiming for in the past year's hsc tests? (1 Viewer)

[carrotsss]

I’m curious but how well do you actually have to be doing in this papers to get at least 95 in 3u and 4u?

just over 80% if theyre around 2022 hsc difficulty

Was 2022 hard?

 

[eeeeeeeeeeeqwe]

And typically what would be the highest mark achieved for 3u and 4u at the top 30 selective school

At my school 97-98 for 4U internally I think

Around what rank is your school

 

[carrotsss]

Was 2022 hard?

yes compared to previous years

 

[eternallyboreduser]

Is 80+ raw hard to achieve in a paper like that?

nah

like 99 3u and 97 4u, depends where in the top 30 tho

20

Bottom of the top 30

 

[scaryshark09]

Bottom of the top 30

like 98-99 3u and 97 4u probs
depends on individual cohorts tho, it can vary

 

[scaryshark09]

and some top 30 schools are better at math than others

 

[mmmmmmmmaaaaaaa]

not for me

btw @carrotsss i dont believe that 61 was raw mark cuttoff for e4
it seems weird that it would have a 4 mark range for each mark in the e4 range, and then randomly drop to about 1 raw mark per aligned mark in the e3 range.

there are diminishing returns beyond

what does this mean?? (i have no clue what magic/evil nesa is doing?)

going from 80 to 90 will have a bigger difference to your atar contribution than going from 90 to 95

51 went to 80
61 surely didnt go to 90
considering 67 went to 91

between 80 and 90, there is a 10 mark aligned gap, and 10 mark raw gap.
between 90 and 91, there is a 1 mark aligned gap, and a 6 mark raw gap.
this doesnt make sense
surely raw mark cuttoff for e4 was 63ish

why are u so obsessed with a 2 mark difference
