surely yes: https://www.cognitotuition.com/blog/2024-hsc-chemistry-worked-solutions-by-past-state-ranking-tutors

thanks you the goat fr

I got 0.53 but have no idea if it’s even close

ahh i got like 5.12 hopefully i get 3 for my working out at least

it was actually 0.39. A lot of people got .53 which was basically the correct solution but forgetting a line (had to account for ions in solution)

ohh ok thanks for letting me know

ffs I didn't subtract the mass of the CO2

same in gonna kms rn

have you guys estimated + heard any estimates about scaling? it was a pretty difficult test right?

I'm estimating a raw 60.

is a band 6 possible for me? i am ranked fourth at school, 4 marks behind rank one (raw internal marks) and i am predicting a raw mark of 91 from today's hsc

 

[haw_flakes]

also nobody should kts you're almost/already free? should've done it b4 or during the test to give an advantage to your cohort lol

 

[Ishi081]

in significant figures how many marks do u lose coz for the 4.92 moles question I got it but I did not see the 1 L and didnt round it to 5 moles

i have added a pdf version of the cognito solution into post #423

most probably

Yeah really not sure how they are going to mark all of those long explain answers. And I think I did stuff a couple of the calculations, dont know how though. Also for Q29 I got it completely right but in the last step I calculated the reciprocal of the Keq fraction, rather than Aq on top (I put Aq on bottom)

 

[herbimycin]

Im ranked first and think i got maybe an 86-67. But could also lose a couple more depending on how cruel they are with the written stuff. Possible to get a B6?

 

[hellopenguin666]

is it possible to get band 6 if i got around 80 to be safe? worst case is 80 but hopefully i got around 85 - is that band 6 ish please I'm actually so stressed

please don't stress i'm sure you will be fine, and for band 6 i'm not too sure but it also depends on how your cohort does as well that can boost you up

 

[hellopenguin666]

Thanks! This year's scaling would be lower than 2022 and 2023 right? 86% for band 6 last year was crazy, hopefully its around 80% this year...

 

[cute lil monkey]

What is raw for 60% or 65%

does anybody know if the hsc markers are lenient about significant figures if u got the working out correct and were just one decimal off the sig fig

 

[wait...what?]

i think they dedicate 1 mark to sig figs throughout the paper. if you messed up in that one question than you lose the mark but otherwise they dont care.
