yeah- fairly 3-unit ish... first 3 q's were fine
a few dodgy bits in 4 and 5, but not too bad really
6 wasn't that bad, but i couldnt finish the inequality
7 was pretty patchy... a bit of either part but still...

...no more maths :D .

i found it pretty damn hard.... the general soln question i stuffed up cause i read it wrong and just divided by 2 yaday yada yada, last question was extremely difficult, and generally throughout the paper after qn3 there were sum tricks.... ill be hoping to get 60/84..... but thats not likely, also i know that the james ruse kids had truble with the paper apparently according to my mum who called me up saying "if u found it hard dont worry cause alot of the kids here didnt like it at all" so im thinking that if u claim 2 have found the test easy then have a look at ur paper again cause it was actually pretty damn difficult... on the other hand however if u found it easy then good stuff!!! congrats cause ur gonna get band6!!!!

I thought it was relatively easy up until the 7th question

in question 7 I had virtually no idea and will be lucky to pick up a few marks through bullshit

The first 6 however were great, last part of 6, the inequality was a bit tricky but apart from that it was great I think

It was the hardest test, compared with all the past papers I've done. If only it was this hard for 4unit...

I did all questions 1-5 with 99% chance of being correct :)
6.a) is 100% correct,
6.b.i) is most probably correct,
6.b.ii) is maybe correct,
7.a.i) and 7.a.ii) is correct, but 7.a.iii) is wrong.

anyone done Q7b?

qstn 7 was straight outta the coroneous textbook, if only i rmb/ed how 2 do them

n yeah from 1-5 the qstns were ok-gud, apart from the inverse functions one which i got stuck in, n the general solutions which i did the wrong way (as a normal solution, not general)
:mad1:

n qstn 6.b? i just looked at that n didnt even bother...!

hoping 4 60/84

I think the answer in7bii) lies in expanding (1-x)^n, integrating both sides twice and letting x = 1 or something like that (haven't bothered to check....Oh why oh why didn't I think of that in the exam

7(b) was just binomial theorem expansion. There was a similar one in Barker's trial this year.

6b was actually all right... cos I was somehow able to do it :)
but the second bit was intimidating for a lot of people.

I had trouble with 7b as well. The first part I differentiated, but insted of integrating I added the original equation to the differentiated one at the last second. So I don't know if it gives the right answer - I fudged it a bit... but it might actually be right.

Otherwise the test wasnt too bad... but I agree it's harder than most past papers. Ran out of time.
