What topics are in your Half Year tests? (1 Viewer)

[RHINO7]

I was wondering what topics are in your half yearly tests. (Just curious)

 

[Mattamz]

Quoted from the Assessment Notification:
Basic Arithmetic & Algebra
Real Functions
Trigonometirc Ratios
Linear Functions
The Quadratic Polynomial & the Parabola
Sequence and Series Applications
Coordinate Geometry
Plane Geometry
Tangent to a Curve and Derivative of a Function
Geometrical Application of Differentiation
Integration and Area Under a Curve

 

[-pari-]

Everything in yr 11 + Geom. App. of Calc + series and sequences.

 

[loveforever]

-Sequences and series
-Integration
-Probability
-Curve sketching, max/min

What About Geo Applications Of Calculus?

What About Geo Applications Of Calculus?

It depends on the school, but most times it will be there. I'm assuming you're talking to the post above though.

 

[loz05]

lol yeah thanks though. i am soooo not looking forward to maths. maths makes me feel like i know nothing about anything. EVER!!! no for serious

 

[mrzeidan1]

had mine today

from assessment sheet

- algebra, eqns, surds
- co-ord geometry, trig
- parabola, quadratic function
- curve sketching, max min
- integration
- logarithmic and sexponential functions

thanks that's gr8 help, for some reason my teacher is being really kind n not giving us any clues other than "its on everything u know". so im scared

 

[ccmariners07]

loz, they actually have to tell u the exact topics in the test and which syllabus points are being tested,... sounds like ur getting ripped

 

[Forbidden.]

All of Preliminaries
+Geometrical Applications of Diffrentiation
+Integration
+Logarithmic and Exponential Funcions
+Series Applications (Arithmetic and Geometric Series, no Compound Interest, Superannuation or Loan Repayments.)

^ thats a shit load of topics you've covered

 

[dracnom]

Prelim: basic arithmetic and algebra, plane geo, derivative and tangent, quadratic polynomial and parabola.
HSC: series, geometrical applications of the derivative, integration, logarithms and exponentials, probability.

1 question for each...

^ thats a shit load of topics you've covered

My class has already covered the entire 2 unit course. Suppose that's what you get for being in an accelerated class, but the other classes have covered quite a bit of work.

thanks now i feel great that we've only covered 2 hsc topics so far.

but in a way thats good coz my exam....will have less in it.

i'm screwd as it is for it so the less the better

^ thats a shit load of topics you've covered

You call that shitload ? The kiddies in selective schools could cover an entire textbook before their half-yearlies.

By the time I was up to logarithms, my friend (in selective class) covered most of his textbook, we use the same textbook (Maths in Focus) albeit different schools.

^ damn. we are really .....really....far behind....

 

[the-1-n-only-me]

well... in our one (which is tomorrow).

we got.. reading off the chapters in our fitzpatrick textbook:

1. Basic Arithmetic
2. Basic Algebra
3. Equations and Inequations
4. Plane Geometry
6. Relations and Functions
7. Trig Ratios
8. Further Trig.
9. Co-ord Geometry - Straight Line
10. Locus and Subsets of the Plane
11. Sequences and Series
12. Quadratic Functions
14. Differential Calculus
15. Geometrical Applications of Differentiation
16. Integral Calculus
17. Trigonometric (Circular) Functions


so thats pretty much everything except:
5. Probability
13. Indices and Logarithms
18. Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
19. Applications of Calculus to the Physical World

2.5 hours of great fun...:mad1:

ill try and get a copy of the exam up in the resources section for anyone who cares or wants it.. no gurantees tho

 

[watatank]

wow you really don't have taht much left to do...

 

[plodge]

integration
trig
year 11 basic albegra etc
