Examiner's report typically come out July - August the next year. We'd like to think that suggested solutions would be the way to go for now.

Well the page isn't currently showing up, but I do think 1/8 is correct for 3f, having thought about it some more. I had that in the first place and changed it in response to a method that I hadn't thought of being suggested. It took me a while to realise that this argument assumed that exactly 50 of the 100 laptops lasted for less than three hours, but no such thing was said in the question.

Was that exam hard or like, what? You can find a copy of the exam here.

Yes every year there are at least a few people who end up full marking 80/80. IIRC 2006/2007 (not 100% which years) the highest scores were 78/79 but there were only around 1600 students doing it then now it's 16000.

do you by any chance know the approx number of students who get 80/80 in exam 2
and also, do any students get 0/80

depends on the year, but VCAA don't release that enough anymore if i'm not mistaken. You don't need 80/80 for a 50 though. Pretty much any year but 2006 you could lose 1-2 marks (across both exams)and still get a 50.

I was ranked first in methods so basically 100/100 for sacs but in terms of raw probs 98/100.

For the exams these are just estimates since i didnt buy my statements. Exam 1 I think I full marked and Exam 2 I thought i dropped between 3-6 marks. Looking at my study score i would assume i dropped 3 marks overall.

wow!
also, if you have time, would you mind trying to predict what study score these scores of 120 (both exams combined would give this year 2016)
10/120
20/120
30/120
40/120
50/120
60/120
70/120
80/120
90/120
100/120
110/120
112/120
115/120
117/120

Doesn't work that way. Exam 1 mark=/=exam 2 mark


Btw if anyone knows, is it normal for one examiner to give the mark for a 1 mark question and one to not? Should I inspect?

Got 72/80 or 144/160 on exam 2 for a 45. Weirdly lost a couple marks at weird places and got full marks for answers that don't quite match the suggestion solutions. a+ cutoff for ex2 was 65.5/80

Guess this year's exam was considerably harder than last years. That's 12 marks across both exams, last year that was like a 42 haha. The success rate is highly low from inspections, i doubt it'll work, but if it makes you feel any better then go for it

Yeah it probably doesn't matter. I lucked out heavily on one of the questions (didn't match both suggested solutions) so that's good enough
