ANALYSIS - What to Expect and Common pitfalls
Formula rearranging presents very achievable marks for most students, last examined in 2022 in a 3. Algebra, STD2 A1 2004 HSC 11 MC
multiple choice question.
If , what is a possible value of when ?
Although linear formulas are the "easier" equations to rearrange, some past HSC questions have caused
problems for a majority of students and we recommend revising 2019 Std2 11 MC and 2013 Std2 21 MC A.
(mean mark 27%!) to cover the hardest examples.
B.
Non-linear equations are the harder question type in this sub-topic. Any revision should include 2017 Std2
C.
28d and 2011 Std2 18 MC which covers the worst answered in the last decade.
D.
Despite its small contribution in dedicated questions, this topic represents a core skill required throughout
the course.
