Today, 5:41 PM | Re: General Thoughts: Mathematics Ext 1 same as ext 2 in that it was the easiest test I've seen. at least I actually kinda performed in this one though. Thinking about 65/84. I had to ditch 6b due to time constraints though. I think I spent too long on 5.

Today, 5:06 PM  | Re: General Thoughts: Mathematics Ext 1 6 and 7 were a bit tricky but the rest of the test was okay. Binomial section killed me.

13 Nov 2009, 7:30 PM | Re: General Thoughts: Mathematics Ext 1 Thinking 54-60/84... Didn't seem that bad of a test. 1-4 was nice and easy. 5 and 6b screwed me over bigtime. I could do the first half of 7, and didn't attempt the last question. What band would that be?

Today, 5:49 PM | Re: General Thoughts: Mathematics Ext 1 Yeh, it was ok. Not the easiest, not the hardest. The thing I found with this exam, as compared to all the past papers I've done, is that it took longer. I dunno why. I didn't get to look at half of 7 as a result. I just quickly did the induction, the derivation of the tan(A-B) in relation to the picture and then finding it's derivative. I didn't get to solve the derivative though :/ Question 6 was interesting. I found the projectile motion part OK, but it was a little vague. I hate it when they don't use numbers! The second part of six was a question I could see was right straight away but had a hard time explaining it. Q1-5 were ok though. I think I aced the first two questions. The graph was a bit hard I thought. The only think I didn't get was the turning points :S I am also hoping for a 65/84. I hope that's enough to get 80+ I hate exam pressure... Past papers are so easy in comparison...

4 Nov 2009, 6:07 PM | Re: General Thoughts: Mathematics Ext 1 Middle part of last question was a bit difficult, probably lose a couple of marks there. Save stupid mistakes, should get everything else right. Hoping for 80+/84 |
