The exam was totally gay. It didn't have near enough of my six favorite/strongest topics:
1. Binomials
2. Polynomials
3. Circle geometry
4. Logarithms
5. Simple harmonic motion
6. Inverse functions

Seriously..., I love those topics why have so little on them? I rekon the 3U exam should be 3 hours or something. Like usual I ran out of time and did very little of question 6 and 7. I'm not going to get above 55.

Answered everything but I know I've lost 3 marks already, expecting ~80 (most likely high 70s). Good work me for not reading the question properly in the probability. :rolleyes:

I wanted 84 :(

Im hoping for 70/84, from what I've counted...I screwed up the rates of change question and hence lost valuable time. I only did bits of 7(b) and had no time to check over my answers unfortunately :(

Wow, I screwed that exam up totally. I could only do like 1 part in both 6 and 7, and the last part of the locus i screwed up really bad, and then there lots of other little bits i missed.

I'm looking at 66%.... good thing I went real good in 2u

Well that someone was wrong. I got maximum 68-70/84 last year, and ended up with 92/100 exam mark and overall mark (or 46/50).

So, to answer your question about whether getting 70/84 will get you top band, all signs point to yes, but it depends on the difficulty of the exam (and how everyone else went).

wow...thanks for clearing that up..
that some was some teacher on the hsc advice line

btw...what did you guys think of the difficulty of the exam compared to last year
