pretty straightforward wasn't it?

how'd everyone go?

Yeah it was pretty long but, combined with the heat, it made it more difficult.

My calculator wouldn't solve one of the integrals (it was taking over 3 minutes) so I lost 1 mark from there. Stupid ass calculator. Other than that I lost like (i think) 4 or 5 marks from the analysis. I checked with my teacher. Dunno about the multiple choice though. How would you compare the exam to past years?

I expected to be owned by the Spesh 2 exam.. but it wasn't half as bad as I expected.. this is not necessarily a good thing. ug
who else found this exam a little too simple?

ichan91 · 2 Nov 2009, 6:03 PM

I think it was doable, but my expectation-of-horrible-paper had me kind of panicked. I'm still in post exam stupor. I hate to do this, but was the answer to the last question 1296m?

Cobalt · 2 Nov 2009, 6:07 PM

Yeah that's what I remember getting. Used pythagoras after finding the boats distance to be 489 or something like that.

i dont suppose anyone got time to write down what they got for MC?
if you managed to get the time, could you put them up please

Spluff · 2 Nov 2009, 6:11 PM

I thought it was pretty easy (the only question(s) I didn't get were the definite integral and the follow distance question about the slide), but it really filled up the time (probably because I wasn't thinking straight in the heat).

hmm, i found it easier than i expected. In reading time i was praying for a miracle but it went well. Yeah i got 1296. Missed about 4 marks even if i do well on exam 2 i will not be able to push 40 raw because in exam 1 i made SO many silly mistakes. Oh well no more spesh again...

Cobalt · 2 Nov 2009, 6:17 PM

Spesh was such an awesome subject. Most likely my favorite subject. I'll miss it.

This Exam 2 sort of felt like Methods Exam 2s since the questions seemed to have dragged on plus it kept asking for decimal places.

ichan91 · 2 Nov 2009, 6:17 PM

YES the heat was horrible
and I dont actually remember my MC answers except that I got E for the first one and 3 points in common for the second one ...

But yay! we're done with spesh!
