i worked my arse off - studied for 7 weeks specifically for this exam. what annoys me is the realisation that even if i put in 100000000000000000 more hours of study, it would not have made a difference

*wishes he did general*

that it existed....

I did almost 3 straight weeks of this...4-5 hours a day for 2 weeks. I think i did about 10 past papers and averaged 70-80% in ALL of them. Then, this paper is like 10 times as hard as any of those i did. Bastards. At least it should scale better.

I only did a few hours study over the weekend and had a tutor for one hour. Yet I still seemed to go over nearly everything in the test

I dont see how you couldnt predict most of that stuff?

Yes Question 10 is a bitch but that was always going to be expected. I was hoping to get the first few questions all right and then make a serious attempt at the last few. I got Question 9 all right and half of the first part of Question 10.

I really can't see how this was a very hard/unfair test.

I think you will find the board of studies hates the class of 2005 and felt they wanted to make us suffer!!! I did that may past papers too, and nothing compares to this exam, i hated it and feel like crying! :(

i feel the smae as u guys...the only thing that makes me feel positive is that were scaled higher..and if everyone (besides the smartypants who go on about how clever Q 10 was and 3 unit ppl) didnt go as well, they will have to scale it so most ppl pass, putting those who did fairly alright to good :)

Tell me about it. The papers this year are way harder than last year. They're sooo punishing us.


My eyes are so dry from crying that its not funny. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.


I am so crushed.

All those people who studied with the 1990's and 80's "Two Unit" past papers were fooling themselves, they were ALL significantly easier than the 2001 - 2004 New HSC Mathematics papers.

Today's wasn't that much harder than the last 4 years. I found the exam conditions made it feel a bit harder than it is when you're studying at home, too.

man i can't explain how much i agree with you. when you're at home, non-actual exam conditions, you're cool, more relaxed, even if you try and sit in exam conditions, you'll never get that exam feeling. i took the paper home, sat down, went through it and yelled at myself for the silly stupid mistakes i made and what i couldn't do...aarrggh!

The only reason why past papers are easier is because your teachers base their teaching around past questions.
Each year, BOS tries to make different sorts of questions for Category B (which is I think 20% of the 2u paper- not sure).

That's why on these forums every year we have two groups of idiots: I failed! Hardest exam ever! BOS sucks and we should burn them, f* them, etc....; I rule and got 120, you guys failed! etc etc...

Objectively speaking, your q10 this year seemed pretty soft.
