I'm annoyed. I did worse than everybody else.
Sorry about my attitude.
Feel even more sorry for my pens and books.

Edit: bad language

Pretty good overall, got decent marks in each question, and had a good attempt at Q7 + 8.

Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam

that was the hardest thing i have done in my life! I coulnd't focus...

i gotted fucking owned in question 1. i couldn;t even get 1a) out. and then i was on the backfoot...

I without a doubt failed that test.

Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam

i found it quite hard (probability, induction, circle geometry,8b, Stupid ellipse q2 complex no. crap and polynomial with a+ib, A+2ib i had no idea about)
i think max i can manage is 75/120

Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam

50%, depending on other stuff, could probably push you up to an 75 - 80. Although I don't do Maths :p some of my friends told me that your sort of mark could end up being that high of an HSC mark.. Riviet can probably tell you more than I can...

Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam

I did almost all of the first 5 questions some of the 6th and hardly any of the last 2, hopefully I did well enough in the first few to get a decent mark

Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam

mmmm yes well that was bluddy hard
surprisingly i don't feel that bad about it (after my breakdown following the trial)
I did my best, hoping for E4 but won't be disappointed with E3
I know this is annoying to ask, but anyone got an idea what the cut off for bands could possibly be?
It seems that most people think it was harder than last year but maybe that's just us cos we're the ones doing it. My teacher thought it was a good paper so...

Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam

I found it hard as well. I managed to answer all of the questions, but some of the answers are 1 or 2 lines for a 5 mark question.

Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam

that was horrible
in my opinion qs6-8 wer not some of the hardest 6-8 questions out there, but i found 1-3 really hard compared to other 1-3 questions.

i really hope i just get the 50 and hopefully that woul dgo to 75 like people are saying....

cheers

Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam

I aint too perturbed, I did not go incredible but I am pretty happy compared to how I usually go. Q8 killed my brain, but the rest of it wasnt too dodge.

Getting that triangle one was good, same with the Mathematical Induction and Recurrence formula.

Now all I have to do is hope I pass off a decent mark in phys. I cant wait until Ext I either, it will be soo sweeet

Re: Maths EE2 - General thoughts on the exam

I spent about 2 and a half hours on the first 5 questions, and did a bit of 6, a bit of 7 and non of q8.

I'm expecting about 50% :(:worried:
