    BOS MX2 Trials discussion thread.

    Well I definitely didn't- you saw my extensive attempt at Q16 lol. I'll try it sometime soon but I don't think I'll get it... Yeah you don't need it- I just do it out of habit but its not neccessary

    BOS MX2 Trials discussion thread.

    I don't think very many people at all could do the whole thing in 3 hours.

    BOS MX2 Trials discussion thread.

    Yeah its one that you either see it or you don't. You're only year 11 though so you've got time to learn those things.

    ^You made it way harder than it needed to be. If you divide top and bottom by e^x, it just falls out directly as ln|e^x+e^-x|

    BOS MX2 Trials discussion thread.

    Did anybody manage to get a decent chunk of Q16 out or even understand what the whole question is asking?

    BOS MX2 Trials discussion thread.

    Yeah this. I'm won't tell you my mark until everyone else gets it back but yeah, what he's saying is correct- I had to explain some of my reasoning and working to him. In the HSC though I won't have this luxury hence my post earlier about improving my clarity etc. So you could probs take about 3...

    BOS MX2 Trials discussion thread.

    What I really took away from today was that my explanations and setting out for some questions is CRAP- I need to work on clarity and flow of argument a lot. And I've got my paper so I can scan my answers to questions people have (assuming I could do that one and you can read my writing)-...

    Yeah I got both of those. The same can't be said for the rest of the paper though haha- Q16 destroyed me :(

    (Finalised) Official BOS Mathematics Trial Examinations.

    3 unit definitely. I think I got a very similar raw mark for both... Comparing normal 3U papers to Carrot's 3U paper was a MUCH bigger jump than normal 4U papers to Carrot's 4U paper imo. Though they were both insane and very well written

    BOS MX2 Trials discussion thread. Haha this pretty much. Hopefully I'll get like 63 or something lol

    Which school's maths trial paper best reflects the difficulty of the HSC exam?

    Carrotsticks' 3U paper- its in one of the threads up now- defs the hardest 3U test I've ever seen (WAY beyond HSC standard imo). Try it if you want a challenge. If you just want a test that models HSC- Syd Grammar is normally nice. Syd Boys also writes some good ones but remember you can do HSC...

    Subject Scaling

    DON'T DO STANDARD... Aside from that, yeah 95 is very achievable- particularly if you're good with essays. I'll be honest- it's almost impossible to hit 99.95 with that subject combo but 95 is definitely doable. Good luck

    The Umat Results 2012.

    Med degree costs what- $50k for the degree? How much do you earn when you get out? That's why people do it for the money

    The Umat Results 2012.

    Ummm... I'm pretty sure the reason you go 0-20 wasn't because of people who just did the test for fun but simply because you didn't do well in the test (it sounds harsh but its true). The amount of people that would do it for lols would be SO small and even then there's no reason why they'd beat...

    Prelim. vs HSC Economics

    You'd want more than 3-4 pages if you're aiming for the very top marks. The top people (i.e. 20/20) write like 1500+ words which is easily 12 exam pages. Even if you don't use exam booklets- in our trials we just had ordinary lined paper and I wrote like 9 pages or something. If you set aside an...

    Did you get Q13 d) ii) 2) -> the one about acceleration? I still can't get that :(

    Belonging (Skrznecki) question

    Hey guys, In the rubric, its got something about the potential for an individual to enrich or challenge a community or group. Where is this evident in Immigrant Chronicles? Thanks :)

    binomial help

    Look at the denominator- its got two consecutive integers yeah. What this suggests to me is that you'll have to integrate (twice probably) because that's what will get you those numbers on the bottom. Then you'll have to sub in some boundary conditions etc. and it should solve nicely. I don't...
