lol I thought you didn't like rote learning tbh
there's a balance, the good balance is math advanced and specialist maths. extension 2 questions are so random, abstract and unique. im pretty sure in uni they don't make their exams like hsc (atleast for non pure math degree people). hsc is for differentiating people, while uni exams are just to see ur knowledge.

ykw fair point I guess, ext 2 really is quite different - I enjoy its uniqueness a lot more than math adv though personally

that's true that HSC and uni has different purpose

One of the papers that @dan964 has made available is an Advanced paper with this question:

View attachment 49010

Does anyone else think the answers are wrong?

I understand the calculations but I don't think they correctly interpret the questions.

Maybe the answers are to the questions that the examiner intended to ask?

Note: Edited to correct link to provider, it is dan964 who has made all of these resources available. Thanks, Dan!
Hey mate i just did it, care to share the answers? i got 1.25m
39.375plus 19.6875 so 59m total

and then one more meter for the final question.

note the zip includes the penrith paper. there is a error in 15biii

here is the penrith sol

this is a nonsense



and herein lies the fallacy of their argument

they were asked to prove a formula which is wrong. it should be remarked. either disregard the question and deduct 1 from total, or give everyone (including non-attempts) 1 mark for part iii. this won't compensate for time lost wasting time trying to prove a wrong formula, but this adjustment would be better than ignoring the problem.

i don't think they can fix the grades anymore. nesa did the deadline thing
