Question 19 was really strange. i did it over like 4-5 times, the one that came up on my calculator with the closest answer, i put down.

I got D for 19. It took me a while of reading it over a couple of times, but I got there eventually.
They worded very, well, annoyingly.

That exam was hands down the easiest in recent memory; past papers dwarfed it difficulty wise to a significant degree. There was very little in the way of harder topics ie. annuities, non-linear, and in my opinion there will be a TON of people getting above 90 as a raw score. Took me an hour to do the first time, so I just re-did it again and then left with 20min to go to beat the rush. Expecting 93+ purely based on the simplicity of the paper.

^.^ very pleased

I agree 100%, although i did find a lot of similar past paper questions in there. But overall it was probably the easiest i have ever done. So happy

I also had D so hopefully it's correct!

what was the financial expectation? i put $3.50, but i think it was $1, therefore elise loses $4 per game?

Noo, you forgot to minus the $5 that it initially cost!

 

[catalyst91]

with that kind of arrogance you can pole vault to the moon using just a solidified version of your ego. Why waste time getting an atar like us mortals?

lol!, +1

Question 23 - C? It seems pretty simple but I swear I stuffed it up.. what'd people get and how?

 

[phuong14]

for question 3 , isint the answer D?.

 

[phuong14]

fml. just relised its B

 

[ZombieApocalypse]

lol

I was pretty confident I was going to get nearly full marks in multiple choice, but looking at what you guys posted, I got 6-7 marks at best

fucking hell

this is what I get for overthinking shit and changing my answers ugh

 

[A-Nonentity]

It was a pretty good fair test

Unfortuanately I lost 8 marks on finacial and bloody bearings, my guess is ill get around 85. Luckily i think the girl who cam first found it really easy and she beat me by point 9 so that should boost up my internal a bit lets hope haha

 

[ZombieApocalypse]

doesnt help for me that im coming dead last lol

 

[phuong14]

do you guys reckon high 70's for general pretty shitty?

This is what i got for q28b. please check against yours and comment. shall put up some more of my answers

28b) i) 60000/15 = 4000
Negative direction therefore -4000

28b) ii) gradient represents the amount the tractor decreases in worth per year.

28 b) iii) y=-4000x + 60000

28 b) iv) n>15 is not suitable as something can not have a negative value.

28 b) v) 60000(1-0.2)^14 = 2638.83

28 b) vi) the value continues to decrease 20% of the previous years value

28a) i) P=a/V

ii) 3=a/2
a=6
p=6/4
p=1.5

iii) im not drawing a graph. cbf.

27d) Josephine = $119 827.91
Financial gain = 119 827.91 - 50 000 = 69827.91

Emma = $145 409.56
Financial gain = 145 409.56 - (12x15x500) = 55409.56

Therefore Josephine has greatest financial gain.

27c) i) Z=-2
ii) incorrect as both have the same z-score of -2

do you guys reckon high 70's for general pretty shitty?

There will be much worse than that

Whoops! I thought it said that "the minimum he gets for a emergency is 4-hours double time", regardless of the length. I believe he did an emergency for 1.5hours (4-hours minimum) and 5 hours, so i did a total of 9hours at double time for emergencies. Then i added the $150 and the $894. I think i got D for that question then.

I did this too!

What? Wasn't it the window's WIDTH?

This question was worded really weirdly - some people interpreted as the window's thickness, some people interpreted it as the windows length - I hope they accept both answers because they should have made the question more specific!

 

[inoubliable]

i put c too. What did everyone else get for 7??

c !

 

[deathdude222]

I reckon I got around 90/100. What would that align to approximately? 92? *I'm hopeful* xD

 

[WorryWartCob]

band 6 mark?

im hoping for a 90.
im feeling confident.
