Re: General Thoughts: General Mathematics

I thought it was a pretty good exam XD. Had one or two bad questions, and ran out of time at the end. But generally an easy exam compared to the others I've done so far.

Re: General Thoughts: General Mathematics

Best maths exam that I've ever sat!
There was about 3 or 4 multiple choice questions I guessed, because I had a mental blank, and then I had a mental blank as well for 27b, but then with about 3 minutes left, I figured out how to do it (it was the last question I had left) and finished with about 10 seconds to spare.

Now, for my 8 day break!

Re: how did it go .

I thought it was a great exam, nothing too hard in there and i think got most of it right (i hope)I didn't get to finish the last question about the dice and crap, most annoying question. And there was a multiple choice q that i couldn't get as well :/

Re: how did it go .

Personally, I struggled largely with it.Most people at my school did I think, so i'm really not the only one. Was by far the hardest HSC General Maths paper I have done...

Re: General Thoughts: General Mathematics

Got smashed. Looking at probably 60ish% Pretty upset about it atm, it will have a pretty large effect on my overall ATAR. I'll need to dominate Geo to make up for this now.

Re: General Thoughts: General Mathematics

I believe I achieved a mark of about 78% in this exam. My performance in this exam compared to my performance in my trial (87%) was completely destroyed by the length of this exam combined with the time limit.

Re: General Thoughts: General Mathematics

I thought it was alright except I ran out of time and I didn't answer all the questions.

Re: General Thoughts: General Mathematics

I answered most stuff (left a few which I went back to with about seven minutes to go and answered almost all of the rest). I hate maths.
Laughed at the question about Bozo the Clown. Possibly one of my most favourite maths questions of all time. Good work Board of Studies
I suspect I'll get a band 4 or 5. If not, well I guess there's nothing I can do and I'm not going to be all upset about it anyway. It's maths. Maths and I have never really gotten along anyway.

Best thing about this test? It being over. Never have to do another maths test ever again!
