I can't seem to find it anymore:
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/physics/exams.html#H2N1002D
What I'm looking for his last year's report on overall score and the cutoff for A+. IIRC, it's presented in tables and graphical format.
Could someone direct me to it? Thanks :(
-
82/90
-
this is was higher then avg as it was a fairl easy exam
-
Thanks spesh-gun. Would you mind telling me where you got that figure from? I'd also like to check 2007 etc, to see approximately what the cut-off will be.

lol, in my opinion if you want to predict a range take a look at the other years.
was looking at last years A+ prediction thread for physics in the Mid-Years forum and they were relying only the 07 to base their prediction on.
So i was looking at it before and it went something like (this is out of 180 as there are two examiners marking your exam and their total score determines what you get)
164 - 08
153 - 07
143 - 06
162 - 05
153 - 04
Conclusion
So does this mean this year we'll get a 143er? Not in the slightest. As we have a new course this year, you really can't call how well people are going to do. I personally think this will be a higher scoring exam as we can predict quite a lot of the questions (vertical circular motion, banked curves, modulation/demodulation) as it is a new study design and they want to test out their new questions so to speak.

Heinemann book guy is like: they barely changed the course, just enough so I can write a new book and go on a holiday.

shhh! what if VCAA ppl are scanning this site?!... when they find ur post, they'll change the questions (banked curves etc.) and probably put other weird questions in it.
i suggest you delete it ASAP.

Every physics question is the same anyway.
Examiners are lazy exact same questions different numbers.
-
yeah like they're gonna change it 3 days before the exam.

you never know

i reckon its possible to change it like methods boy changed it....cuz EG. The age prints about 300000-400000 every two days.
so, physics students are usually about 6000 - 7000.... its possible?
isnt it?

cbs factor is just too high

Over 9000 cbs factor
-
lol 9000, okay then... yea i know what you guys mean...
plus the environment factor (what to do with all eams printed off already)
the distribution of the exams again..... it all can become a tad hectic..
but yea still possible - highly unlikely though
-
They do all sorts of test to ensure it's a suitable exam..
EG: They get past 2nd language students to test it to see if they can understand the main points of it.
All the testing to make sure its a "fair" exam, and who knows what else they do, takes a lot longer than 3 days.
=_=

dam you're good, but better if you derive the CBS factor to obtain Keeper's Third Law
ohh nice i love that
SO
let CBSfactor = Gravitational Force
(here mv^2/r implies it MUST be circular motion)

But
(again, 2piR/T implies circular motion)
So ^2 = G\frac{M}{R})
Simplify gives:
. [1]
[1]Keplers by /0 in Keplers thread although i think i saw this in someone's NEAP revision book

Off-topic posts/spam deleted. Keep the discussion on topic please.

Dam ur good, but what's the CBS factor of CBS?
On topic, one of the teachers told us the cut-off last year was 84/90... lol liarliar
"If you get this question wrong you're already half-way to losing an A+ blahblah"
-
wait what 84/90 are u sure?
grade distribution table says 82/90
