[Focus is Key]

7 years was exactly $87500

Yep I can confirm this!

 

[Spontaneous_Me]

That paper was harder than all the previous years by heaps -.- FML.

Anyway, here's the paper since many of you want it. I cleared out some of my writing/working out so i hope you guys don't mind.

Enjoy.

Quality's a bit poor but still readable. Thank you.

 

[Ozzyy]

I don't know why they're not all getting attached. :|

 

[blinx96]

It was 83..

lol so the raw cut off mark to get band 6 will be lower than 83, since last years paper was way easier than this years one ahahhah woot (btw i think i posted something similar before

 

[vishaal99]

I feel more anally penetrated after that test, then when I did the Engineering Studies test...

 

[Shazer2]

Fufijeief

9/10 I think.

 

[dunjaaa]

Oh yes, you got me haha, m=-2/3 is the only other case.

 

[Randox]

wow hardest test in ages

Engo was worse I reckon

Yeah, it was pretty hard. Last years one was like a walk in the park.

 

[Focus is Key]

Yeah, I remembered I solved a quadratic for n^2+43n-350=0 and you get n=7 n=-43, discarding the negative you get n=7

That's what I did but I thought it was wrong.

 

[Drongoski]

very easy exam ...

The many who find the paper difficult may find your repeated exultation & perhaps, gloating, rather annoying.

 

[avhead]

Oh yes, you got me haha, m=-2/3 is the only other case.

Would I get 1/2 if I had -2/3 because I think I fudged m>2 like another poster.

 

[Recondit]

omfg was pressed for time and made so many careless mistakes

MC 9/10
Q11 15/15
Q12 14/15
Q13 14/15
Q14 12/15 (For 14c) how would you answer in exact form and how many marks are deducted if one just answered in decimal form?)
Q15 11/15
Q16 11/15

Hopefully band 6 cut-off is 80-ish or below

 

[spanky125]

very easy exam ...

You need a spanking.

 

[glowsticks]

Does anybody know how to do question 16c) part two? Help would be greatly appreciated

 

[spammer]

I have the paper scanned, edited and nicely cleaned up in PDF format for you all here

[vishaal99]

Engo was worse I reckon

You reckon? :S The theory I found alright, but the marks for mathematical stuff was crap lo

 

[acallus]

You are annoying many who find the paper difficult with your repeated exultation.

He's hoping that if he repeats it enough he may actually believe it.

 

[blinx96]

What will 70 raw get me?

im guessing around 80-85 ish (compared to raw cut off marks of other years.. and I'm accounting for the fact that this paper was a lot harder than previous years)
