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.

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.

Re: General Thoughts: Mathematics

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.

Re: General Thoughts: Mathematics

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

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.
