Before the exam i thought that as long as I didnt rush I could get between 105-115...after the exam..I have no idea.

Overall it was OK...I think i panicked a bit which meant that I took longer on 1-8 than i usually do.

Q 9 and 10 were very challenging. I could get some of it out..but left out more than i wanted to...

Oh well...

I thought it was more difficult than previous years:
Overall Im hoping for a raw mark of over 100, hopefully closer to 110-115
I didnt get time to check my answers or finish Q10 Which I have been able to do in the past.
Oh well hopefully 3U Maths will be similar to past years in difficulty.

crap.

Thought that it was one of the hardest 2unit paper in the past 18 years (done 1986-2004). The first part of question 10 was do-able, the 2nd part was bullshit. The question's in general were just hard.

Absolutely dreading 3unit now. *cries*

i thought it was kinda hard for 2U maths. most of it was ok - not too bad-, but Q's 9 and 10 (especially 10!!!!!) was hard. i actually felt pretty bad not being able to do Q10 when i do extension. hopefully it'll be scaled up a bit.
oh well, it's over now. time to study for ext1 (and then chem, and the phys. ughhhh....... why did i pick hard subjects?)

im very shitted off about that!
normally i look to 110 and over, i looked at what i did do and saw that i only did 93 marks of work!
on the flip side im pretty happy with wak i did but its still only a little over 75%.
basically not good.
at this rate ill be looking at 50% in ext 1 (i am hopin for 70%+)

Usually I get about 1/2 hr at the end to look over the paper but after the first 7 qestions, I felt rushed and a lot like it was the 3U exam. Which is not what I was hoping for. I'm guessing I'll get marks for the working even if i didn't get the answer out/correct, adding to over 100. Hopefully. Hmm. Worried about 3U now... =(

But on a good note, the Dux of our year (and a really really really smart girl over all) thought that it was terrible, so this makes me feel good.

OH AND WHY DIDN'T X AND Y JUST MEET AT A PARTICULAR TIME - SAY 12.30?!

PS
Trials were a whole bunch easier than this exam.

well im a 3unit student, and i did 2unit last year, and was going to do 4unit, but dropped it instead and just re-did 2unit (got 87 last year, placed 8/56 in the year above me)..and this year im 1st (by a fairly large gap too i think), so im hoping to do better.....i felt much better coming out of this exam than last year's.....got all of questions 1-9 out...and all of 10a, and 10b(i), but thats all....10b was an absolute bitch!...but i know i screwed up on at least 5 marks in q's1-9....definitely still aiming for an aligned mark of 93+.......
but hmm....3unit will be interesting, if 2unit was anything to go off....
chookas to all

Tis shameful for me to even call myself a 3U student after this test >.<



p.s. Kazness... I reckon!! Maths don't solve anything, they only create more problems >_<;;;

1-8 were pretty good, but 9-10 were bitches, even for a 3U paper. Still reckon my final overall mark can be about 94, which will make me happy...
