Re: GG.com
If YOU think thats a crappy distribution
General Maths - School doesn't offer it
Mathematics 2U - Less than 40 guys doing it
Maths 3U - 121 People doing it
Maths 4u - 71 People doing it
Also some random trivia, Business Studies (most popular elective in the state, not inc. maths and stuff) - 15 people

Re: Small numbers
How much time did you guys spend on maths to be getting high 70s/80s?

You don't even need any fingers to count the number of people that have done ex2 maths at my school in the last 2 years or the amount of E4s.

Re: Small numbers
Just work consistently (and somewhat ahead) throughout the year, and you should do well.

Re: Small numbers
Marked my 3 -Unit exam off the internet. 72/84. Which is very good considering I only answered 72 marks worth of the test since I ran out of time! Oh well, defs band E4! Question 7 binomial was a breeze for everyone that did StuVAc course at Sydney Uni. Same question.

Re: Small numbers
The term used to define the period every Australian Year 12 student goes through in which they pretend to study before final exams but in reality waste away their last weeks on MSN Messenger and watching TV.
Person 1: So what're you doing at the moment?
Person 2: Playing WoW
Person 1: Ah so you're on stuvac?
Person 2: Yeah..."
From the most accurate dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=stuvac
"1. stuvac 118 up, 14 down

Re: GG.com
To be honest, it was better than I expected. I was happy there wasn't a lot of permutations and stuff, I hate permutations and combinations. I was also feeling really unconfident about the projectile and simple harmonic motion, but they weren't too bad. Question 7 destroyed me, I couldn't get any of it.
I was happy with the math induction question, I saw it was on question 6 and thought it would be really hard but I actually liked it.
Oh, and you know how on question one we had to differentiate sin^2x/x or something? I accidentally integrated it. XD
Overall, I'm reasonably happy. Aside from that stupid mistake and question 7 I think I did pretty good. I'm confident that I passed, just not too sure how well.

Re: Small numbers
Lol...yeah lets rip on people on a forum. Thats a fun fucken way to spend the day!
Re: Holy Fuckaroni
Just out of curiosity - I did the 08 paper - was that one notoriously hard or something?
Re: Holy Fuckaroni
My sister did the 08 paper as her HSC and she said it was brutal... Today's one was pretty much the same brutality. Did anyone notice we didnt need the table of standard integrals?
Also I didnt have enough time... I didnt get to finish writing my conclusion... so hopefully the markers understand.... haha

Re: Small numbers
Good work, some of you guys got quoted in the smh article: http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/hsc-students-maths-paper--cruel-and-difficult-20111027-1mlg1.html
I love how they could only get two sentences from Taeyang's profanity laden tirade. Good luck with your upcoming exams everyone =)

What would a mark of 72/84 for 3u scale to and a mark of 96/120 for 4u?
I am 1st in both at a school ranked about 40th. Relatively, I screwed up a lot.
Couldn't do the algebra to find the y-intercept and the maximum turning point even though i could see the answer

So I 'm not the only one who feels like a retard for screwing up that question. Those marks will scale high, last years E4 cut off for 3U was..56? and for 4U, well a 96 will go, easily mid-high 90'sWhat would a mark of 72/84 for 3u scale to and a mark of 96/120 for 4u?
