Agreed test was really easy until question 6 and 7, they were half okay...

No you don't and my school estimated 85-90 which is perfect for me
Is the test out of 120, crap i went through whole exam thinking it was out of 84. Shit that means i got like 10/120. FML...
My bad, 84 of course. and sorry again, hope you have more units so it doesn't count :p

I know. It felt weird/disconcerting coming out being a little unsure about some questions. Then I came home and spent a bit of time working the later/harder questions out, and it was fortunately all good.

Flew through 1 to the end of 5a...then 5b hit me like brick (shat myself pretty badly thinking from there on it would be that retarded, hate 3D Trig!) Then from there on got about half of 6...and 1/3 of 7...but overall I feel it was fair. There are stuff everybody could do in that exam and stuff that differentatied the average students from the amazing students so I'm glad..above 70% and I'm happy :)

That's tough. I'm really not too sure. =\
It could be argued that you didn't find the 'time', because 'nt' isn't a 'time', so to speak. However, you pretty much got everything.

Because it was such a 'longer' working question, I think they will be lenient and give you the marks for it. I think the markers will have to mark easier this year as well. The test was a little harder, and a bit different to earlier years.

Yea probably... since 3! =/= 3 :p

Depends how nice they are with marking. The Binomial section was weird in this paper.

You might lose marks. It depends on whether their marking criteria accounts for that mistake.

i put that but would there be two answers because domain 0< x < 2pi

thought about it afterwards???
What would that additional angle be then?


....

There's only one answer as it was a boundary angle.

Also adding 2pi to it yields a result outside the given domain. So 0.64 is the only answer.
