I don't necessarily agree with these teacher reps. Are the current courses dated? Many would say not. Do teachers really want the new courses? Again, many would say not.

The decision taken at the last Board of Studies meeting on March 31 regarding the implementation of new Stage 6 Maths curriculum is as follows. The Board of Studies agreed: (i) to endorse the Stage 6 Mathematics syllabuses. (ii) to advise the Minister not to approve the Stage 6...

Also, here are the 1999 and 2000 HSC solutions for 3 unit (but I have not included these in the zip file):

Those links don't work anymore. I've reuploaded the 2 unit one as an attachment.

Complete solutions for the 1999-2008 3 unit HSC papers are on the net. I've collected the 2001-2008 ones together in a zip file: http://www.angelfire.com/ab7/fourunit/ext1sol2001-2008.zip (1.8Mb) See next post for the 1999 and 2000 ones (not included in the zip file)...

You can get 223 papers at http://www.angelfire.com/ab7/fourunit (39) http://au.geocities.com/ext2papers (114) http://www.geocities.com/fourunitmaths (70) I might add more to this later.

This is only one way of learning. But whatever way one learns, those who learn more will have a better chance of getting 100% within the time allocated. If two get 99%, and one is satisfied with that and stops, yet the other works harder at getting the last 1% out and therefore eventually gets...

Correct! They can! But alas there are people employed by the Board of Studies to mark these exams (and not just Rodney Miller) who have publicly expressed opinions to the contrary. It is therefore incumbent upon current students of this course to prove them wrong and to do so publicly.

Well, whatever way you do it, the aim should be to prove Chris Thompson right and Rodney Miller wrong, i.e., to prove that you can do it in the time allocated despite opinions to the contrary.

Only if you can get 100% on each one and within the time allocated. And you can do that, can't you, MC Squidge?

Well, say you get 99% the first time in an hour. And say it takes you another 5 hours to get the last 1% done. Then it's that 1% that you will have learned the most from. And of course, the next time you do it, you will complete it in the allocated time with 100%.

Cambridge University Press itself have released 3 chapters online free of charge on their website at http://www.cambridge.edu.au/education/companion/2unitgeometry/default.asp The 3 Unit files are http://www.cambridge.edu.au/education/companion/2unitgeometry/images/3Unit_Ch08.pdf...

By dividing the equation by 7 and then using the <a href="http://users.tpg.com.au/nanahcub/cubic.gif">cubic formula</a>, we find that the exact value of x is \sqrt[3]{\frac{-15436}{9261}+\sqrt{\frac{59957}{21609}}}+\sqrt[3]{\frac{-15436}{9261}-\sqrt{\frac{59957}{21609}}}+\frac{5}{21}

This is incorrect. The Board of Studies never said that it was due for implementation in 2009 and first examined in 2010. The syllabus was due for implementation in 2010 and first examined in 2011. There is however a new delay happening due to complaints from teachers. The delay may be such...

So who will get the T.G. Room medal? Everyone agrees that Sen Lin should get it because he came equal first in Ext. 1 and 2. But technically, the T.G. Room is only based on Ext. 2, not Ext. 1, so most agree also that Matthew Menzies should get it too despite not coming first in Ext. 1.
