Lol I see myself slowly spiralling into depression through this thread.

TIME TO RIP BIO

That paper threw me down and raped me. It was at least 3x harder than the trial so by that, I must assume a raw mark of 8/9 out of 120. I couldn't possibly have got over 15. I want to die.

And what was with that simpson's rule question it said use six sub intervals but there were 7 values so how could u divide it ? confusing

6 subintervals = 7 function values

And as for the radium one, it was about the ratio (ie after 1600 it was half: Ae^(-k x 0) = 2Ae^(-k x 1600), and the A's cancelled out then you just had to use normal log laws and such to figure out k.

 

[mrhorseham]

the paper was definately harder than any of the past hsc papers ive done...

 

[Ostentatious]

Exam was fairly simple, especially in comparison to the past papers listed in creelman.

 

[josh_22]

there were questions that were tricky... but overall i liked the exam

did anyone get 5/12 - 2ln2 for the last part of Q10

yer mate

 

[boxhunter91]

DAM it i got 2ln2 for last part..
should be 1/2.

 

[possessionless]

Lets hope my maths mark doesn't count!!!!! From the way these exam are turning out, everything else will be hard. Pray to god the are reasonable and not f..ked like that exam

well i was thinking bio wouldnt count for me but beause of this fucked up insane exam i dont think maths will count.
just hoping they dont pull out a fucking ridiculous bio exam.

 

[Aplus]

Quite a challenging exam.

I got 17/12 - 2ln2.

So what's everyone lookign at as a minimum mark? i reckon about 108 for me
not being cocky or anything but i did study my balls off

 

[08joel08]

i seemed to get too many long decimal answers, this seriously disheartened me, time management was always my downfall, by question 6 (which went forever btw) i was still doing ok. then by the question 7 stage i had lost all hope, not only in maths, or my hsc, but in society in general, at one stage seriously thinking that "ill live outside of the system, and live from the land" didnt attemp 10 b onwards and rushed 7, 8, and 9. im looking at about 60 % max, and probably missing my minimum 75 ATAR

u might snag one or two

 

[micuzzo]

the prob questions were confusious!

 

[SeftonIsAHole]

Take the last half of 2u paper and u have a 3u paper there...

Finished my catholic trial 2u paper in 2 hrs.. got 115/120.. i didnt even have time to do last part of last question for this 1.. <110 for sure zZ

 

[lolliepop2]

Yeah it was hard. I spent about 5-10 minutes on that stupid question until I understood it.
FUCK MATHS! well from now on I won't have to do anymore maths except simple stuff not crap like the stuff in the exam.

 

[robm]

most shittest exam of my life, it will definitely be the worst of my subjects

 

[Gigabyte]

Fuck maths and FUCK BOS. the hardest paper of all the time except q10 wasn't the hardest !!!

not even motivated to study ext.1 now

 

[bemer]

The last answer was 41/12 - 2ln2

since when do we have to be able to divide a triangle into four other triangles.
