What's your fastest completion from Q1-Q4? (minutes)

 

[deswa1]

Actual HSC or just trial papers?

Edit- just read thread title- I'm an idiot

is this referring to old or new layout?

Old layout

lol old format, I can do Q1-4 in a few seconds in the new format

 

[Mr Slick]

Old layout

Max 15 min

Max 15 min

U Mr Slick, one crazy human! HOW CAN U COMPLETE IT SO FAST? Do u see the pathway straight away without 1KJ of energy used from your brain?

 

[4025808]

under old format, I could complete it in 45 min

First two questions take around 6-7 minutes :L

So you just go non-stop...no thinking?

 

[shongaponga]

~ 20 minutes.

They are pretty straight forward; usually limits, angles b/w two intervals, ratios, integration, perm comb etc

 

[lolcakes52]

20~ maybe 25 if I get stumped or blank.

edit: Thought this was ext 2, my mistake. Takes about 10 - 15 for ext 1.

Actually most top end 4U students can do most of the 3U paper this way. Q1 especially you could literally do in under two mins if you were racing because it tends to be integration (which you can do by recognition), and random stuff like ratio division (use formula) and limits of those random trig things (like sinx/x).

Obviously it probs wouldn't be ideal to do it this fast in a test though because you could make sillies- its better to go slower and get everything right first time imo

Thats pretty crazy lol 15min! How do u increase speed + accuracy, keep doing past papers with your maximum speed untill u reach ur goal?

LOL 2 MINUTES FOR Q1, so people are turning into superheroes...!

 

[4025808]

ouch. yeah. I thought it was MX2 as well. Well, for MX1, I can complete from Q1 to Q4 in 20 min (depending on the difficulty of the paper, obviously)

 

[Mr Slick]

lol man....just do heaps of past papers and.....



































do 4 unit ! lol 3u integration look so piss easy once you have done 4u integration

I'm perfectly serious.

Honestly though who really cares? Like say I can finish the whole 3U paper in an hour. So what? I don't get bonus points for finishing early (though I do get heaps of time to check my work). My point is though that a steady worker who takes just under the two hours to finish the paper could conceivably get the exact same mark as me.
