I though that was pretty intense, hoping for about 60%

How did everyone else go?

Freaking hell is it just me or was that test harder than the past hsc's?!?!?!?!?

Re: What did you think?

I think it was probably the hardest they've set in the past decade or so. Here's hoping I did well enough

Re: What did you think?

IMO, this paper was the hardest since the 90s.

Re: What did you think?

I think it was definately different. There were a lot of questions that were more... applications.

Re: What did you think?

Did i sit the same test as you? cause i thought it wasnt that bad. hoping for 60-70%

Re: What did you think?

I didnt think the questions were too bad... they just took heaps of time. didnt even try q8 caus ran out of time..

Don't worry too much. If everyone did bad, it'll scale nicely.

agree. time was the big issue in this exam. the questions weren't any harder per se, but much more involved and requiring more work per mark. atleast that was my experience

Re: What did you think?

I felt the paper was good. It only seemed to get harder after question six. This was the same with the others at my school.

Maybe it only seemed harder because they were questions you hadnt approached before

Re: What did you think?

Some of my friends almost finished the paper like wow...
I should've attempted the SHM questions at the end
They looked really easy

Re: What did you think?

I hate this one. It's the worst test I've done so far. :angry: Some questions take too long to answer. One of my friends said a lot of the questions are like 3U questions.

 

[Poad]

Re: What did you think?

Bleh, too hard. Especially the crazy volume and the binomial questions.

 

[ronnknee]

Re: What did you think?

Yea the circles and triangles, binomial theorem, natural growth and decay and SHM.. All 3U stuff

I wonder how conics2008 went

Re: What did you think?

Q6 and 8 were hard as. Btw does anyone know what "the physical significance of b" really was?

 

[midifile]

Re: What did you think?

Yeah. I found it hard, but I think I went okay in it.

Questions 3-7 were okay, but 8 was like WTF!?!?!

I liked the probability question though (it was one of the only times ive ever been able to get a 4U probability qu)
