however, my school has a reputation for setting an impossibly hard sac at the most unexpected moments...my last spesh sac was riduclously hard - whereas all the other ones were quite straightforward

You haven't seen our spesh sacs... They're the combined work of a Russian Physicist and a Pure Maths PhD Actuary. Needless to say the year level average is 50% to 30% for test SACs :(

LOL about the impossibly hard spesh sac we just had - our class average was like 12.5/24 => and normally for SACs our average is around 80%...

diverging off the topic, but theres this guy at my school, he's a PhD in mathematics and he sets the most impossibly hard physics sacs, and he's the master of taking marks off

one of his questions (on the sound practical sac) was like what would the sound intensity level in decibels be if we doubled the distance
somehow i managed to read that as half the distance, and i went through and did the correct calculations and even wrote the right formula and i got 0

what an ass =.=

Yeh, him and Yarussky think Australia's maths standard is crap, so they make up their own standard. As an example, our next sac will have a part where we need to use hyperbolic trig functions in various DE questions (usually 8-10 mark qs) with no CAS :( And that is just one part :(

It's fun maths though, except when we get our marks back

we have had similar averages for physics and specialist and ive still kept a 90+% average.. hopefully I can kill the exams and get a good study score :) cant say the same for chem... worst sacs EVER, been performing average.. but nailed the exam
