HOLY CRAAAAAAAAAAAP??! You what?? Thats 42 papers r u serious?!! INSANE did u study anything else?! lol now thts determination lol i did like 3.. So glad to hear that this year was the hardest then, cos i got boned.. so hard for 2u.. stpuid roller coaster one lost me and the radium one was balls i screwed up initially then realised stuff Q=A or something so... the test was so long i ran outta time real bad some the questions were so demanding like Simpsons Rule for 7 functional values GET LOST!

y did they have to such a hard test THIS year!!!

oh well SCALING is the name of the game it should scale shitloads since practically everyone found it hard.

Definitely rapes last years exam, the exponetial question in question 6 was almost identical to a question 10 one I had done in the past.

AND THE FUCKING SUPERVISORS DIDN'T SEE ME PUT MY HAND UP FOR MORE PAPER, I LOST 5 MARKS IN QUESTION 3 BECAUSE OF THEM

HAHA! BAD LUCK BUDDY! I agree it was a hard exam, but what I'm seeing is that alot of people found it hard...so maybe the cut offs for various bands will be lower and therefore more people would get into higher bands than expected.

This test was pretty easy.. I added up marks i know i got for sure and got 100/120 about 83% raw.

No offence but that aint such a good mark if you consider it 'easy'
I found this test difficult.. despite getting at least 105.
Made some stupid mistakes but meh.

Considering i only got 39% in my trial it seemed pretty easy compared. Im not a genius at maths and seeing 83% was an achievement when i went into the test hoping to just pass.

argh! that test was horrible! i thought i was doing really bad but most of you have found it hard as well. thank god.

i know the test was hard because my mathematics teacher, the extension maths teacher at my school and the mathematics teacher at another school all thought it was a really hard test. there were some shocker questions. geez, my teacher was fuming.

i just have to say, overall it was easy... they might take into account how easy question 10 was which is normally 'hard' in past years, scaling could be worse, aligning could be worse =/
its up to the senior markers or whoever set the bands

jaymz001 · 21 Nov 2009, 12:23 AM

Question 10 was a pissa!

it was FUCKING HARD!!! compared to other years exams i lost 45marks just like that.

Going straight to UWS FFS hopefully i can transfer..

You probably won't read this post, but: UWS is a good uni. They offer a great medicine degree. It's also good for forensics and for food science/nutrition.
