Re: Ext 2 Past Papers + Answers
Perhaps the solutions to difficult papers should be posted as a priority then. What I mean is, before uploading the more average schools, it may be more useful if Sydney Grammar, Moriah, CSSA, James Ruse and such schools were posted instead of the easier papers.
Not criticising or anything though, you've done a better-than-perfect job with the whole maths resources issue.
I can understand your viewpoint Buchanan, and quite frankly I agree with you. However, the extension two course does present challenges in terms of the different types of questions asked. There is absolutely no-one who will figure out every single question on their own...no matter how long they sit on it. Teachers included.Only some of the papers on the net come with solutions. Most don't. I've done it deliberately that way and would like to keep it that way.
Lets suppose all the solutions to every paper were on the net. Then students would be training themselves with hundred of papers with worked solutions available for every paper.
Then all of a sudden they have to sit an assessment task without access to solutions - an experience they have NOT trained for at all.
It's better to have papers you don't have solutions for and do them thoroughly enough to know you got them right. This will be more of a struggle, but ultimately this is going to do you more good than having easy access to all the solutions.
Originally I didn't post up any solutions when there weren't many papers online. But over the years the number of papers online has grown to well over 200. So it's OK now to put up solutions to some of the papers from time to time.
But I still won't be putting many solutions up.
