If you get asked to integrate ln(x) in an exam you can complain that its beyond the scope. More so for ln(ln(x)).

a friend of mine had an assessment average of 18% last yr

he still managed to get 29/50 (58%)....as a final HSC mark

keep trying....

my yr 11 average was somweher above 80%

now i'ts 60%....

it's normal for ur average to go down.... just make sure u go average in the HSC and u'll probably manage a 35/50...

EDIT: sorry guys.. it was 18/50..... 36%....

well u get the pt anyways.....

If you're that bad at it.. drop it!
If you're sitting here whinging about it, turn your negative energy into doing something about it... and DO NOT SAY YOU CANT... this is maths, not english, the answers are exact, there is an exact method to finding them, all you have to do is do some bleedin practice and learn the method, you will never get the answer wrong if you follow the formula. Start doing past papers and maybe some homework [if youre getting 17% youre obviously not doing practice or completing homework] when youre doing a past paper, and you cant answer a question, ASK SOMEONE HOW, then remember that for next time! maths is the easiest subject to rote learn, theres no 'youve got the touch or you dont' its just you bothered to learn the formulas or you did.
I think youre biggest problem is your attitude, im sure you could do it if you made some serious effort. Its also not too late, your rank and assessment mark will affect you, but not so much as long as the people above you get the marks they anticipate. Pull your socks up!
