hardest 3 u topic [head] (1 Viewer)

[billeh]

I was just wondering, for the people who have already done the 3 unit HSC course .. what was the most difficult topic .. or the most time consuming theorems to stick in your big head!!! HEAD!!!!!!!!! ahaha

P.S: I have a big head

 

[Trev]

im doing it this yr, but i reckon perms/combs will b the hardest, even tho we basically covered it all last yr, i could never seem to get any of the questions right that werent straight forward

 

[billeh]

oh yeah! after doing so much algerbra. . counting and probability becomes tricky

 

[QuaCk]

harder projectile

agreed. (10 char)

The binomial shit that was in last year's exam.

That was crap. I hate that stuff.

 

[withoutaface]

So do I, I probably had at least 1/2 my lost marks in that section

 

[acmilan]

Totally agree with waffy there, that crap was unexpected and probably cost me atleast 1 aligned mark as i got absolutely none of it correct.

probability! i hate probability!

 

[Trev]

probability! i hate probability!

i like the simple probability ie. questions that you dont have to change the probabiltiy or wateva (ie. without replacement) coz all that working out shits me and u dont really need to think to do it, its just time consuming and tedious

lol im so lost in probability, even in the 2unit exam last term, i just wrote raw number answers down, like without saying P(E)=............
-_-

i dont show proper working like that, should i?
i just write numbers down and it doesnt really explain what im doing, but if i get the correct answer from doing that (even tho that IS my working, it just looks like a pile of random no's) will i still get full marks?
ps. simple probability doesnt come up much in ext1 exams does it? mostly permbs/combs?

So you lost no more than 10 marks. Still good.

Yeah but still annoying when the other half of the marks were due to nervousness.
EDIT: And you probably lost like 5

 

[Jezzabelle]

locus... can never get that working in my head

bahhh

and it your not good at geometry.. there was a lot of that in last yrs paper.

perms and combs are easy, you just practice em

 

[Slidey]

Well it's not a three unit topic, but I hate using approximation methods for integration, unless it's for an integrand which you can't integrate.

Nah I screwed up maths totally.

I agree...you get very angry when those mistakes are silly instead of not knowing what to do.
