i went in a single word, 'crap'
i must say the exam wasnt that hard, just that i took my time with all the questions cause i didnt want to make any stupid mistakes like i usually do and loose 10marks on nothing except for writing + instead of - which i have been doin for the last 3 4u exams

i did qu 1-4 which was alrite but did even touch 7 or 8
NOOOOOOOOO

i know i wont even get above 50%

 

[underthesun]

Yes.. i took my time as well. I did question 1-4, except that 4b seemed like it's going to take too much time (area of triangle in conics??)..

My teacher replaced question 7 and 8, with something piss easy. And why the hell did i do that last? Far...

Im screwed, integration was easy, but wtf, those graph questions for question one, cos^-1(f[x]) ??

i just subbed in +_(1,2,3,4, infinity) and just ploted it
ended up being some symmetrical shape about y-axis which i cant remember now

I hope the hsc isn't this hard

 

[underthesun]

nope, it won't.

Seriously channel 10 style, that paper, it would be really hard to completely do more than 6 questions.. Yet you gotta have some space left for mistakes..

 

[enak]

So that waters down a maximum possible mark to be err, 90/120 , which makes my possible maximum 45/120

 

[underthesun]

very pessimistic logic there

 

[enak]

Considering my performance through the year, it sounds pretty true Well, i've got 10 or so weeks to study for the HSC exam, I should actually be READY for this exam

 

[schooly]

well i would say i went just like most here are saying but i was wondering whether anyone did find exam easy or they do think they went well?
Only curious

 

[underthesun]

I didn't really do bad, only missing some handful of questions

just joking, but i didn't really go bad. It depends on how much stupid mistakes i do, and how hard the teacher marks tho..

 

[nerdd]

lol

yeah that whole graphing section was just a joke. how the hell are we sposed to do the inverse tan of it?!!! i was liek WELL I DON'T KNOW. and i was stupid and didn't bother plotting points.. so skiped it.

couldn't do the conical pendulum or banked track because i've never even done them in my life. i just wrote a few v cos thetas with mgs and Nsin theta everywhere lol.
if i pass, i'll keep it and actually study properly for the hsc. AHH.

so is it true that trials are indeed harder than the hsc itself?!

 

[underthesun]

I didnt think there was an inverse tan graph?

btw, cssa is hard anyways, so don't worry

 

[nerdd]

they provided a f(x) for you and told you to draw like 1/f(x), and other variations and the last one was tan^-1 (f(x))
unless that was a question our teacher put in to replace something else... i think it was qn 4.. or 5..

 

[underthesun]

Hmm, i quite forgot. I was thinking it was cos^-1 instead

that's quistis on your avatar isn't it?

 

[Dash]

Man... that exam was easy as... But i still stuffed it!

It was easier than our school tests cos we have the brainiac
Mrs. Arnold (the almighty author of the cambridge 4u textbook)
setting them!

So yeh, i reckon if i studied a bit harder i would have got comfortably over 50%

 

[enak]

Lol, easy, and get over 50% if it was easy, then maybe getting over 80% would be correct

 

[underthesun]

isnt' 50% + raw mark aligned to 90+ hsc mark?

 

[Rahul]

would be close to it....
in an exam i did with arnold, i got a mark of 48%, it got bumped up to 86%.

 

[underthesun]

they do aligning for you?

what a mad teacher
