weirdest test ever

1-5 were so easy
6 7 and 8 were lame
9 and 10 were easy

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU BOARD OF STUDIES

to be cocky is merely to be very self confident.

also, in case you didn't notice, rank 100 is still, 100th.

think about James Ruse for a second. Those kids get 100% in almost everything and have an average UAI of 90+

i'd get your rank 1 math guy to do a couple of james ruse trials.

think about these things before you mouth off about those that may be, no offense, smarter than you

i heard that their media UAI was 99.soemthing...4? @@

it was a different test. Not hard, but challenging. it got you to think, instead of mindlessly subbing in stuff into formulas. In other words, it was leaning towards the style of a 3u maths test.

no, the test was not easy for the majority of us...
btw this year has the most no. of students doing HSC therefore it is really bad...
but luckily this year's students are the dumbest year...

wtf was that exam on about, parts of Q 9 and 10 seemed easier than the rollercoaster one. On the bright side no more equations for me to ever remember

WTF was up with the decay question about radium? I swear there wasn't even enough information to complete the answer! That test was dodgy...

Yes there was sub t=0 and u get Q=A
therefore with that information you do the question.
It's pretty left field but not totally impossible took me forever to get it

I found it easier then the trial by miles but probably still did badly. I'll get ~60 odd hopefully. I liked the tides question, because I think I got it right, I found 3 times where y'=0 yet alot of other people in my class only found 1. But that 8e^-2t.. Question screwed with my head >_>

This is definitely up there with the 2003 paper...
I'm thinking I'll probs get high 90s (pleaseeeeeee *puppy eyes*)
I know I lost atleast 14marks (only had time to do up to q10 c, skipped: 9b part v, 7b part iii, 6c part ii, 4c part v)

The rest of the marks lost is all subject to any of my mistakes :)

nah they did give you enough info, but i wouldn't have been able to do it if i hadn't seen a similar question in a trial i did a while back. if i saw it for the first time, i would have wasted a bit of time on it...

yeah that was my point ahaha, 90+ as in... way more than 90 ;)

Hey guys, I did that Simpsons rule question with 7 function values and got the right answer according to everyone I've asked.............But then I crossed it out. It can be read easily, and I'm just wondering if I can get any marks for it? I've heard you can still pick up marks if you cross it out. I hope this is true. Instead, I put down something stupid (3 function values.) Random, I know.
you only get the marks if you have no answer written down.

since you wrote the answer for 3 function values they will mark that.

so you probably wont get the full marks.
