i hate question 10's (1 Viewer)

[ay_caramba]

im hoping/praying that this year's q10 will be slightly understandable..
otherwise im stuffed.

what kind of thing do u think they'll ask..the monthly repayments one from last year was alrite but that Hero and Saga one from 2002....AARGH!! :O

 

[mojako]

its likely to be the Hero and Saga type
same exam committee

EDIT: but maybe they make a different one after the complain last year

 

[superbird]

me too. but even if u dont attempt it u could still get 90%

seriously?? is maths normally scaled up that much??

 

[superbird]

well thats assuming u get questions 1 to 9 right

but i think a raw mark of about 80 gets aligned to 90

 

[FlyinTyger]

if you get 12/12 in the first 9 questions thats 90% raw unscaled

 

[televators]

Im hoping its like the 99' paper- that q10 was doable!

[Estel]

[ay_caramba]

Some statistics to ease your nerves:

Every year, only around 5% of candidates get any marks at all for question 10. Meaning 95% of 2u maths students receive a 0/12!

The average number of students getting a full 12/12 for question 10 is 4. Out of every single student sitting the exam, a number which must be in the thousands, usually only around 4 individuals will achieve full marks.

Thats what Im wondering.

It needs to be hard and undoable for the majority to differentiate between the higher end.

"The average number of students getting a full 12/12 for question 10 is 4. Out of every single student sitting the exam, a number which must be in the thousands, usually only around 4 individuals will achieve full marks."


I must be one of those 4 then.. I got 12/12 in the trials, as did at least 2 others in my class.. wow what a neat class I must have.

"Every year, only around 5% of candidates get any marks at all for question 10. Meaning 95% of 2u maths students receive a 0/12!"

Once again, our class saw at least 70% get at least 1 mark for that section. I think your statistics are a little off..

 

[ay_caramba]

i got full marks for q 10 in the trials too, i just thought it was easier than the q10's they have in the hsc
