That test was terrible, I felt completely underprepared despite all the past papers I did.

The other thing was, as soon as I went into the exam, all my time management and planning and such went out the window, and I just trudged through the exam and didn't even get to attempt question 10 :(

It could have been a lot worse than it was... I was pretty much happy except for a few questions...

Yeah - I did heaps of practice papers, went alright, but this had a different feel to it...some parts were okay, and some were shockers, i guess.

Hoping, HOPING for an 80. PLEASE *crosses fingers*

Should still get around 95+ after that.. probably 115+/120 raw i reckon..... definately was pretty hard though, had to really work through everything properly and so forth.

Well, atm I think I got about 96-98/120... assuming i didnt make any huge silly mistakes

Which, according to the raw marks that were revealed, puts me at borderline band 5/6

lol, does anyone remember how to factorise x^3-27??

I remember doing the exercise in yr 11, but I completel forgot how to do it :(

And Q10 was horrible ;_;

I found the test was just a tad too long. I answered the first 8 questions and I think I aced them, but I only did a little bit of 9 and none of 10.

All up, I think I did well, just the whole time factor thing.

Apparently not.

But it wasn't my fault.

x^3 - 27

= x^3 - 3^3

=(x-3)(x^2+3x+9)

Does anyone who dosent do 3u or any of that stuff think they went ok?

I dont want to think about it anymore... i think ill go study for 3u English and stick to what it no, leave the maths for the experts
