....You all do 4 unit you fags...

i do 3 units...

there was some statistics flying around my school that said that the highest 3unit mark by a 3unit person last years was 76/84.

does that seem valid? i thought there would be higher marks than this from a 3u person..

fuck is what i said

im cruising through the paper, i get up to the last part of q6 and waste 5 valuable mins doing a stupid mistake . any way i finally finish projectile and i look at q7 with 15mins to go. i will get a max of 4 marks for q7 but i was so stupid not to at least answer the 'differentiate g of theta 'part of the question and why the graph had an inverse . thats 2 marks that needed 30 secs.i hope i get 74.

it was ok. it wasn't great, but it wasn't horribly bad either. i could've done better but i concentrated on studying 2U more unfortunately.
the difficulty of questions 6 wasn't really too hard but question 7 was bad.
i'm a bit disappointed it's over, cause maths is my best subject and i reckon i could've done better in the exam. oh well.... that's 13 years of maths finished.

I thought it was comparatively a pretty tough paper - in line with the trend set by 2u and 4u. I didn't get everything, lost 5 marks already not counting stupid mistakes :(

i found the paper kinda lengthy, as i only had like 20mins to do question 6 and 7. anyone else thought the questions were long?

the difficulty of questions 6&7 compared to the rest of the exam wasn't really too hard considering usually they are pretty hard.

omg... i thought i was the only one that felt that way...

i agree with you... i am pretty dissappointed... i could have done much better considering that i've put more effort into maths than any other subject.

and i am also dissappointed that my journey through hsc maths is over...i mean there was ups and downs...but overall...i enjoyed maths...

I found it hard. Not your run-of-the-mill Q6 and Q7. The disturbing lack of binomial permutations was a bad omen. And with the kind of 3D shit they replaced it with - it was UHHHHHHH.

Damn.

Had about an hr to do Q6 and 7, but as always I screwed up the quadratic calculations for projectile :(

I found that exam to be longer than most ones I've done before. I didn't have much time at the end at all for checking and I missed a silly mistake (which I spotted while putting numbers at the top of pages afterwards) which should hopefully only set me back 1 or 2 marks. I also BS'ed 7b)iv) 'cause of time constraits so I'm going to hope for 80-82. Not a hard exam per se but quite lengthy (which makes silly mistakes more dangerous).
