I thought the test was on the whole excellent It was challenging but I thikn I went really well, hopefully 115/120 is what I estimate my mark to be Some of the questions were REALLY clever, and it really helped for the ppl who do 3 unit especially for question 10(a)

Good luck everyone. Be confident and do the best you can.. :D

The real answer to that fish question is something like this:

Yeah but the trend has been, in previous years, that smart ppl dont tend to do ipt :p It could change this year though, but its anyones guess

yep, that is correct.

Ask a friend for a spare one right now if u can, or buy a new calculator, or grab one off a yr 11 student u know if possible.

Yeah its good to know it..ive seen it in past hscs

Yep This will aid my memory :p Area formulas Square: x2 Rhombus: (1/2) * xy where x and y are the diagonals Trapezium: h/2 (a + b) where h is perpendicular height, a and b are the two parallel sides Triangle: (1/2) bh Rectangle: bh Parallelogram: bh where b is base and h is...

All those geometry rules, like tests for parallelograms and rhombuses. I hope I can remember them

huh? Differentiate it first before simplifying if u can, since usually they leave it in a form thats easy(er) to differentiate. Whatever happens, dont make the question harder than it already is :D

I would always sub in a small number and write down the answer when u compute f'(x) so u can show the examiners that u just didn't magically assume that its negative at f'(3+a) and positive for f'(3-a). But you can make it easier for yourself by usually disregarding teh denominator, for...

as a group Even if u ace all ur other subjects, if the subjects u do are scaled down, then you too will be scaled down (to the best of my understanding)

Solution to Question 8 Prove that {sin(3x) / sin(x)} - {cos(3x) / cos(x)} = 2. (where sin(x) and cos(x) not equal to 0). Question 9: Find the general solution to the equation: Cot y = 15o

Next question: A car, of initial value $15000 depreciates at a rate of 3% p.a. Calculate the car's worth after five years.

Scaling has to do with how the ppl that do IPT go in all of their other courses See, a course like 4 unit maths gets scaled up heaps because almost all of the students who do 4 unit do extremely well in their other subjects. That means that the quality of the candidature of 4 unit is extremely...

hmmm i thought i had seen the last of journeys into the mind with the english paper until i read the 3 posts above ^ :p

lol seems that theres lots of ppl in the same boat :p Remember, if anyone says "you dont have a life" because ur studying 'too much', simply retort "I will when it matters - in two weeks :D"

Another reminder to everyone DONT FORGET THE + C DURING INTEGRATIONS

If your average was 63% for assessments you've got absolutley nothing to worry about :D

throughout the whole domain i think e.g. y = log x is a monotonic increasing function
