Here's how my MX2 exam is gonna go: Finish everything but that 1 circle geo question in an hour and a half Spend 30 mins on going over answers Cry for the next hour trying to do that 1 question

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon $We split the sum into each integer $1 \leq m \leq n $ to obtain: $\\\int_0^{\infty} \lfloor{ne^{-x}}\rfloor\,dx = \sum_{m=1}^{n-1} \int_{\ln{\left(\frac{n}{m+1} \right )}}^{\ln{\left(\frac{n}{m} \right )}}m\,dx=\sum_{m=1}^{n-1}m\ln{\left(1+\frac{1}{m} \right...

Mate Marks for prelim don't affect anything Just read the question better next time and don't write about the wrong thing, take more care Calm yourself down, your HSC doesn't start until next year - year 12 just starts and tbh it's not even that big of a deal

I had English Paper 1 and Music 2, and then Drama + Chemistry on the last day. Holyyyyy how does that even happen? I'd probably just die

Marks wouldn't change much, I'm pretty sure. They don't mention specifics anywhere (that I could find at least), but I wouldn't worry about it. The moderation process is made to be as fair as possible.

No, it comes out of it. The external marks are added up to form the pool, and then split into moderated marks.

You're coming 3rd, so you'll have the third highest mark internally. If you came first externally, you'd both have the same external mark.

Then they'd get the moderated internal, afaik

I don't do physics and I don't find it difficult to do any topics because of it. Any physics based questions would be harder in MX2 anyway, so if anything MX2 would benefit physics, not the other way round.

I can't answer the second part as I don't have any experience with that. As for the first part: "Students with an upheld illness/misadventure appeal are then awarded their moderated assessment mark also as their examination mark if the latter mark is lower."

Re: 2016 BOS Trial Results Ayooooooooo congrats everyone :D So keen to see mx2

If you're in the top few ranks, moderation is barely going to affect you. If you can consistently get those marks externally, you HSC mark will be fine.

I don't do estimates myself, but remember that external exams are worth 50% of your marks --- the better you do the higher your ATAR can get so go all out during the next few weeks :)

80 in IPT vs 40 in Chem gives you an additional ~30 marks to your aggregate. You'd need more than ~57ish in chem for it to scale better than an 80 in IPT. I'm normally one for advocating not dropping subjects, but unless you think you can improve in chem, IPT would be better for your ATAR...

Study periods are a waste of time. You'll spend most of them procrastinating rather than actually studying. If you don't mind doing 12 units and you don't mind your subjects as they are, then I say keep 12.

The ranks they submit don't actually matter though, because they'll get spread out. My school does the opposite for some subjects - they submit first as "100" and last as "0" and spread everyone evenly in between, but it doesn't matter at all. So my "52" in English (which was really 70...

There you go! Of course, the cases where gaps change significantly are exceptional as they require a wildly different distribution of external marks to internal marks. I think the important sentence is in the introduction: "The linear method also has the property of retaining the ratio of...

3 and a bit (around 3 and a half) for each.

My source is the 20 page technical report on how moderation actually happens. I can pull it up later if you'd like. They're not wrong when they similar, but only in a non-technical sense. A "close" gap will remain "close" relative to the other gaps, but in reality it could become significantly...

I skimmed it, then went to thinking about how I can change my creative to fit the stimulus --- figured it out in the end, expecting a 14-15 for creative :) Short answer was a mess anyway
