holy 1664 is gonna smash the hsc
im so glad i JUST managed to pass, that was my only goal for this
just wondering, looking at past bos trials, the avg has always been lower than this (except last year), was this an easy paper, a good cohort, or a coincidence?

Thanks to everyone who took part in the BoS Trial exams this year!

Hope you found those papers interesting, useful and challenging.

Apologies to those we ultimately could not accommodate due to the registration cap.

In terms of marking and official solutions, we are aiming to get those out a few days before the respective HSC exam for that subject (so naturally Maths Ext 2 is being prioritised first). Please be patient as this will take time to get through and write up.

If you want to know any unofficial answers to any specific questions right now before the solutions are released, just ask the question in this thread. Feel free to also share thoughts on the papers.

....and now please find the papers attached!

Yo bro deadass did you outsource the making of this paper in hell?

Here are the solutions and results for the Mathematics Extension 1 BoS Trials!

Please also note that the question paper has been slightly updated (which these solutions are aligned to) with some minor adjustments. The updated paper, solutions and marks are attached below.

In terms of results, massive congrats to the the student who scored the top mark of 56 (out of 70)!

Again, a reminder that these are not your average trial papers. These papers are heavily skewed towards the more challenging questions (i.e. filtered out most of the boring/repetitive easy stuff in a typical trial paper). Students who may be worried about losing motivation after attempting the paper are reminded that this is NOT intended to be an accurate reflection of the difficulty of the HSC exam itself.

...and that wraps up the BoS Trials for 2025!

Thank you to all the students who took part. Best of luck for the remainder of your HSC!

A special thanks to IMC Trading for their sponsorship and supply of free merchandise at the event. Also, massive thanks to those who took the time to help write and mark the papers @Paradoxica @yanujw @one eight seven @Lith_30 @imagineee @Epsilon2184. This event would not be possible without your help!

So what next?

Careers in Maths - Quant trading
Are you good at Maths, intending to study a STEM course at uni and wonder what kind of lucrative job prospects there are for people like you? Well, perhaps working at a quant trading firm might just be up your alley!

When the HSC exams are over, we will be launching an exclusive thread on BoS where you will actually get to interact with our BoS Trials sponsor IMC Trading on this very forum (and if there are enough people engaging we might consider giving away more free merch). This is a unique opportunity to get your foot in the door!

Watch this space!

Want to help us for next year's BoS trials?
The BoS trials would not be where it is today without the help and dedication of a team of people who helped make this happen. We are always on the look out for new people to join the team to help to author and mark the trial exams. If this is something you would be interested in being a part of next year (and have good knowledge in the subject ofc), please send me a PM.

PS: I have already received messages from some people interested in possibly restarting Chem/Phys, so would be great if we could get more!
