my trial was alot easier than the hsc. nonetheless, i dont understand how anyone can claim that they finished the paper or at least to >90 marks of it. I found it a very long test, not so difficult, reasonable and very time consuming

I never felt so innudated. So many small mark questions that near the end I felt that I was pressed for time.

But when I looked up, there was fifteen minutes left.

I didn't answer 42 marks and then you have to take into consideration all the stupid mistakes i made. Here's hoping i get a sympathy mark when i ended up proving 0 = 0.

Ooh! And i answered 2 marks in question 8. Man i killed that test! *groan*

I can't believe you guys found that WHOLE paper EASY? I'll admit Q's 1-5, were pretty straight forward but the rest.. Holy F&*% - the 2003 paper was so much easier... Didn't any of you find it frustrating that there were so many 1-2 mark questions?

hahaha love those 1 markers
they r like lil islands u hop on about
insted of having chunks of 4 and 3 mark ones which r huge hurdles

generally the amt of marks allocated toa part gives u a clue to the depth of thinking required
that helped me ALOT during the exam
e.g. "hmm this is a 1 mark qu so i best think like an idiot... ahh got it!" etc

i prefer 1 and 2 mark questions

i found it long too, longer than i thought at the start. it didn't contain any 'hard' questions, so you got to becareful of what you put down or what you don't put down, they mark hard on questions that everyone attempts.

screw you guys

our exam last year was a bloody hard one!

and to make matters worse, the 2 unit people did theirs at the same time and found theirs hard as well so our complaints were drowned out by theirs
