keep in mind that it will then get scaled for your ATAR; so it will end up giving 90+, around 95 according to the calculator i'm looking at

Based on previous years, that should be aligned to the mid-high 70s (depending on how hard the exam was), which will still scale very well for your ATAR. Since you're ranked so well in your other subjects, it would be better to focus on maintaining a high rank in those. (correct me if I'm...

For memory the last few questions in the 2003 paper were pretty hard

your picture couldn't be more appropriate hahaha

With the old format, other than a few stupid mistakes I'd be fine up to question 8 or 9, and struggle a bit from there.

You're not supposed to put your raw marks into the atar calculator, use your aligned marks...

Over the last few weeks I've done 14 past papers. Do you think it would be more useful to keep doing past papers over the weekend, or do some trial exams to get used to the new format?

That was for state rank. For Band 6 I'd say 86-87

Yeah, that sounds right. I just spent like 15 minutes trying to work out how they would affect supply, I'm feeling especially retarded tonight :/

Great, thanks. What would be the impact of A and D?

Hey guys, this is a question from my trial exam. I can't remember how I did it, and now I'm having a massive mental blank and am getting horribly confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated (I know what the answer is, I'm just looking for an explanation) Question: Which of the following...

haha yeah, I'm definitely not using that! Ok I'll keep the stuff abo,ut Christine, thanks guys (:

that's 90+ scaled, which will probably be mid-80s for most of your subjects.

I'll normally just do S1, S2, S3. I find doing the short answer first is best when I've just read the sources (in the reading time), and I like to leave the essay til last so I know how much time I have to spend on it.
