I agree, I think it's likely to be in the 80's - my whole class found it very challenging though

Low eighties hopefully. I thought it was a very difficult exam

I found it quite an easy test to be honest, as compared to chemistry. But for physics standards, i think it was quite a challenge at certain sections. I'd say 79-83 is a band 6 this yr.

I reckon it should be 3.

It look like the band 6 cut off will be no more than 60/100...
bahahaha, I wish!
I'll just give u guys some previous RAW marks out of interest
I hope it may comfort u, the way it comforts me, because i totaly stuffed up todays exam...
in 2003: 56/100 --- aligned to 78/100...oh the joy
let's hope thats repeated this year!..
that doesnt mean the band 6 cut off was like 70.... it doesnt work like that!
2001: 75/100 ---- aligned to 85/100
who knows.... this yrs cut off could be higher/lower no one really knows
But in my opinion, it should be lower... but yeh i think band 6 will be about 80-82/100.
Farewell HSC..
Good luck to those of u still doing exams!

Hmm but definitely, this year's cut-off of raw marks will be quite low, it won't be 80s, I'm seeing more of between 65-75, owing to the fact that justification and assess questions really twitch up teachers & examiners, and they start getting EXTREMELY picky about which answers are band 6 and which are band 1!!
@redd: There is a chance, yes...because I've actually phoned up a physics professor I know at UNSW, and when he looked at the paper, he even said that this year's was slightly harder due to the use of specific keywords like access.
Chances are, people here who think they did good in assess / justify didn't do too good still, because such questions are tricky, and really involves whether the marker thinks you're repeating what the question implies, or what is supporting/ justifying..

I sure do hope so!
But no!....as much as i wish it will, I doubt it.. of course theres nothing to bak up my doubt, i could be wrong/right...
But i think a 50 prolly wont get u more than a 70...
who knows.... the RAW marks are very encouraging though
when i showed them to my maths teacher... I was like can u believe it... a 56 got aligned to a 78, however she told me that she too felt she got about about that much in the exam, and she ended up with 75 i think!... so I think 50's have had a good history even back when my teacher did the HSC... 12 years ago or so!
