    [20 Questions] Trigonometry, Locus&Parabola, Polynomials + More! :(

    I know that this is an old thread, but the answer for question 3 can be solved in a pretty simple way. the diagram below is based off of jetblack2007's diagram. First you construct parallel lines from the top of the man's head, then prove that the angle of elevation from the top of his head is...

    Australia: a homophobic society?

    I've recently had a discussion with some Americans about why the rest of the world views them as ignorant, stupid and cruel. While we we discussing this, a few of them mentioned that Australia is culturally backwards, racist, homophobic and has medieval morals. =/ I was wondering are we...

    I got 81.00, and did nothing all year.

    96.05 without putting efforts into assignments or cramming before exams. Paying attention in class FTW.

    2008 HSC School Rankings

    Re: Top 200 Schools - Daily Telegraph I'm just glad that 7 Selective Schools outranked SHORE. And that Baulko reclaimed 2nd place.

    08 vs 06

    I finished the 2004 paper in an hour and a half, in comparison to the 2.5 hours it took for the 2006 paper. I personally was surprised at how easy the 2004 and 2007 papers were

    did any 4u students find this paper hard?

    Just figured out what school you go to >_> But yeah, that was a lot better than 4u -__- I'm hoping the cut off for E4 is lower this year

    did any 4u students find this paper hard?

    Nah, it was Andy. However, Jason will probably write a freaking essay about it on his blog later.

    did any 4u students find this paper hard?

    Yeah I do =/ Altogether. Some guy in the top class was moaning about how he'd lost 9 marks, because he's pretty accurate and generally doesn't make stupid mistakes. I lost 11 marks on the parts I skipped from 4,5 and 7 >< And then I asked people how they went and they were like "ONLY 11 marks?" Oo

    did any 4u students find this paper hard?

    I was wondering this too. I found the test pretty decent, just a bit longer than I expected. I didn't get through the first 4 questions as quickly as I wanted to (I was aiming for 30 mins). Most of the people who did 4u were complaining that they'd lost about 9 marks give or take for stupid...

    Estimate Your Raw Mark

    Probably trolls, because they haven't posted anything. But I'm pretty sure a lot of people found the test was pretty decent.

    Question 2 in 2006 was ridiculously long. 2008 was pretty decent =)

    OMG! Did we get slipped a 4U paper?

    I think that was easier than the 2006 paper. I finished the first 4.5 questions in 55 minutes, and had 35 minutes to do question 7. Granted I did skip bits of question 3, 4 and 5 on a whim, which cost me time on the last 2 parts of Q7 -__- but in all, a pretty decent test
