When I saw the 'divide the triangle into four' question I was quite amused and actually asked my examiner if it was a misplaced question from the Visual Arts paper and he lolled...

 

[suckierocks]

Just so hard!!! Hardest of all I hope I can get a band 4!!! I only kno up to q6 q6 onwards I think I kno nth.... Omfg ><

 

[absorber]

Why so serious?

I found it pretty easy really, a bit harder than last year's.

Re: Hey guys I think they slipped us an extension paper

COOL JOKE BRO, CAN WE HAVE ANOTHER?

every fuckin year hsc kids say this.

Yo the paper was actually one of the harder ones in the past 10 years. Nothing close to ext1 difficulty though.

 

[.N.]

That was difficult! I never have enough time! I was doing q 8 wen I looked up and there was like 20 mins on the clock.... so I managed too do a few from q 9 and 10. the last q in 9 or was it 8 was alright.... but I was doing it and then time was up... what a shame.
wth was that triangle u draw 4 equilateral triangles inside of it? and that stupid parabola and its tangent! =/

 

[kwabon]

i saw the test and it was pretty alright, i would a little harder than last years, but meh,

just curious, wtf did u guys do for that isosceles drawing question? i was like wtf?

Re: Man that was a hard paper!

What the hell was that 4 isosceles triangle ? Who does BOS think we are @_@

I didnt think it was too hard... fairly standard paper tbh. And the 4 isosceles triangles was one where you needed to use the previous result

I honestly thought it was a bit easier this year, the if look look at question 10 for other years they've been a bit harder IMHO.

What do you guys think a band 6 raw would be?

 

[boxhunter91]

Lmao i have no idea. Im like if i get this wrong i dont care.

LOOOOOL. i just read that! that's hilarious! i agree=]

same

Moi aussi.

The isosceles triangle question didn't belong in the paper..

 

[raniaaa]

glad to know i wasnt the only one who found it SHIT

i didnt even get to finish Q10... ran out of fucking time, left 6 marks worth of questions blank

that fucking time repayments question.... when we had to find n, i found n = 178 (or somethin like that), and then i was like "ohhh, 178 years wtf!!! that cant be right!" so i crossed it out and wrote 17.8 years WTF!!!

then i got out of my exam and realised that it was MONTHS, and that i was right (according 2 the maths coordinator).... sooo pissed

Q9 was sooo rushed so i probably lost heaps of marks there

SOOOOOO PISSED OFF!!!

i reckon the most i can get is about 100/120
fucking devvo
maths was my last hope to get an ATAR above 90!!!!!


goodbye band 6...... goodbye ATAR 90+.....

if you didn't fully scribble out your answer and they can still read it you may get the mark

 

[tranny91]

WTF was up with the decay question about radium? I swear there wasn't even enough information to complete the answer! That test was dodgy...

+ 1

(and the other 20000 or so kids doing 2 unit in the state! )

 

[possessionless]

I got 179 months.

yeah when you rounded it up to the nearest month?

 

[.N.]

the probability questions are killers too... the one about van and i dunno who with raffles.

 

[Stratocaster21]

That test was bloody insane! I studied all i could but i still found it hard. I had done all of the tests from 1967 onwards and this was by far the hardest yet!

Since 67? WTF? Thats 126 hours worth of exams... more than half the mathematics course lol

 

[tranny91]

Since 67? WTF? Thats 126 hours worth of exams... more than half the mathematics course lol

would the 1967 mathematics syllabus still be relevant..? lol

 

[meilz92]

I got 179 months.

yeah same, i got 178.8 or something like that

too bad i crossed it out!!!

@ rania, hopefully they can still read it, i think i scribbled it out pretty viciously out of anger!

 

[boxhunter91]

Its always rounded to the next month or day or whatever..
