good ideaI'm going to take an extra one or 2 off year 8/9/10/11 kids just to be safe (my calculator has been running since year 7.. battery might die anytime)
DUUUDE I make the silliest mistakes. Its usually like this scribbling a number say 2 down so quickly I think it was a three when I plugged it into my calculator ... or foretting to write + C in my integration -_-My biggest problem in 2 unit is my fkn silly mistakes.
my exam plan will be do everything REALLLLLLLLLLLY slow so I have 30 mins after i finish all questions and then revise once
(unless there is some challenging question/ year 11 crap that I didn't bother to learn)
I'm going over prelim stuff now, always lose a few marks with those.
Hahahah, btw i don't think programmable watches are allowed in the exam room?DUUUDE I make the silliest mistakes. Its usually like this scribbling a number say 2 down so quickly I think it was a three when I plugged it into my calculator ... or foretting to write + C in my integration -_-
Yeah I did CSSA and I went slowly to not make any mistakes and had 45-30 mins left I think. Should be right.
I've just done a ton of past papers and picked out what ever came up and made a note to study it. Trouble is too I was in 3U during prelim so i dont know what stuff carried over, such as critical values?
I have an arsenal of 4 calculators, as my favourite 'Bertha' I've had since year 7. Also thinking of a programmable watch for back up...
I don't think we are allowed programable watch?DUUUDE I make the silliest mistakes. Its usually like this scribbling a number say 2 down so quickly I think it was a three when I plugged it into my calculator ... or foretting to write + C in my integration -_-

From memory in the School Certificate Im sure there was one exam that they said it was alright to have a programmable watch, I was very fond of the facebook pages back in the day, but yeah I'm not relying on the watch haha.I don't think we are allowed programable watch?
I just took a stop watch from my science department at school lol. Best thing to take into exams, particularly for 3u, where time is a problem for stupid kids like me.
I just hope MC will be nice + the whole exam is on calculus/trig and no graphs LOOOL. heaven.
ohh and fkk no probability. what did you get in CSSA paper?

CSSA paper I got 82, most of those were my silly mistakes, especially in probability and I left most of that water tank in the roof question. (Who puts a water tank in a roof...hahaha) Probability isn't too bad, but if you miss the tiniest detail your effed. Only got 6/10 in multiple choice too I think.
AlSO a note to everyone. Prep annuities/loan repayment questions in which they compound monthly but installments or contributions are done over a different time such as annually.
ALSO, you know how you can solve recurring decimals as fractions using Geometric Progressions? Do they expect us to use that method in our working, or can I use my x,10x,100x method?
Yeah I agree hahahaI love maths! Ill miss being able to procrastinate study on it
not "alot" but enough to stuff your 2u mark.Is there usually alot of prelim content in paper papers? I go through them and don't see that much.
THIS.2u maths i don't mind,
3u maths... ready for a day of tears.
this.Stay calm.
A common mistake is for people to stumble on a question, then their focus shifts to 'Crap I can't get this question. There goes my X goal', as opposed to actually focusing on the problem.
