Thank GOD! Amen Ala Buddha Chris Jesus blah blah blah.

80+ here I come!

PS: I don't think it's easier, just look at the inverse question this year.

this is true..... but isnt that the same for the 3u people doing the 2u paper??
from what i heard, most 3u ppl found the 2u paper easy and most 2u ppl hated it..
exactly, give us a break for finding this easy, cause we got shatted on in 4U, while u guys got an easy ride in 2U, So its fair

plus, OBVIOUSLY, ppl undertaking 4U are GENERALLY better at maths (which is y they took it up), so OFCOURSE 4U ppl are gonna find it easier than 3u ppl, its the same as otehr subjects - teh kids comin top 20% of chemistry will mosst likely fiond the HSC exame 'easier' than the botttom 50%

same for 3U, cause generally (and yes, tehre are exceptions), the top 20% of 3 U is 4U students, because of the fact that they are generally better at the subject

i love how the only people who thought it was easy were the 4 unit kids.
fags. why design an exam that half the people doing 3 unit cant do? seems pointless

This mornings exam was fantastic. Really brilliant. Extremely easy.

Oh, wait, that's right, I did the Entertainment paper. Sorry. Wrong thread.

I thought the exam was a treat.. Looked at Terry Lee's solutions pretty sure i got everything right except the second part of the probability question, i always choked on the probability. Most of the kids in my year thought they pretty much killed it.

i m really disappointed with my performance. This was one of my major subjects and i really expected better...surprisingly I think i had more trouble with the earlier questions than the later ones. But then again, I made many silly mistakes and possibly counted the chicken question as 1:45 instead of 12:45 ...damn...

I dont know what happened, Its not that I didnt have time. I think i got heaps wrong and couldnt do the last f and e of question 7 and how does anyone do that SHM..wtf?
i feel the same im sad becos maths was my STRONG subject the one i actully uno enjoyed ad stuff and arr im disappointed with my performance yesterday. i actully feel really buggered no more maths so sad!

I wrote 12:44 AM instead of PM. Will I lose a mark? That must be an issue of lack of time to think properly.

Agreed :(

buddy, i think that E4 cut off will be about high 50's/84;
that is about 65% ish. last year the cut off for an E4 was 65/84 but this years is much harder.. wouldnt be suprised if the cut off went down to like 55/84.
