A General Overview
1. Always refer to the notes from the marking centre and the marking guidelines from previous HSC exams
- This is where you get information on band 6 answers
- By constantly referring to these guidelines, you will become used to what is expected of you and when answering questions getting a band 6 will become almost natural
2. Make sure you read the question & the verb
- Explain questions MUST show cause and effect (TALK ABOUT PHYSICS PRINCIPLES e.g. Motor effect or Lenz's law)
- Assess questions MUST have a judgement in the answer and ensure that it is clear (It is ok to say: My judgement is...)
3. The HSC Physics Syllabus is your best friend!
- If you follow the syllabus there will never be any nasty surprises in your exams!
