feel free to post up ur marks once uv got them back

I thought mine was really hard. I'm not good at maths. I used to be alrite last year but since year 12 i havent passed one maths assessment. My average is from 40s-48%! yeah its really bad!

So hopefully i might pass the 1/2 yearly. Not sure though with how shockingly bad i went in my previous assessments.
However we had a lot of the prelim work in it, also geo applications of calculus, series and a bit of logs, integration only up to definite integrals-thats all we're up to.

How did the rest of u find ur exams?

chill Joe... don't let ur previous assessment worry u... hopefully u'll pass... and i mean there's always room for improvement... I have a friend that didnt pass any maths assessments in yr 11 and his first maths assessment this year was 54%... so obviously there's been some improvement... although not much... but it doesn't matter... as long as ur climbing up the ladder... U'll be fine

as for My half yearly... If i live to see tomorrow i'll tell u how it goes... It's not worth as much as i'd expected it to be but 15% is still alot...

how much prelim stuff is on it and like what? trig, geo or basic maths like solving for x etc

 

[Jago]

I think i did well.

Topics covered in mine were:
- Probability, Permutations and Combinations.
- Sequences. Series, and Application.
- The Parabola x² = 4ay and its parametric treatment.
- Integration (no applications)
- Induction.
- Circle Geometry.

Edit: oops haha, i thought this was 3u.

I did alright in 2u as well.

mine had all prelim plus sequence and series, geo applications of calculus and integration

i can safely say that I went pritty good

prelim... there was the basic proving questions in geometry... not too much from prelim.. it was basically a HSC style examination.. although questions 8-10 weren't as difficult as one would expect... the exam had

-sequence and series... (withouth compund ineterst)
-trigonometric function
-integration (everything)
-logarithms
-calculus

basically a good mixture of everything
it was a 3 hour examination but fortunately enough most of us had an hour or more to go through our exam once twice and even thrice

mines tomorow!

 

[adcarson]

ive got my stinking 2U exam on tommorow, actualy ive got 2 go study now, im freakin out a bit though im currently just passing my 2U, im going better in my 3U than 2U which sounds kinda weird

 

[Shona_01]

I did my 1/2 year last week, it was okay, although i dont think i did all that well, but i tried my best and that is all i can do.

Jago you're 3u maths test was almost like yours except with geometric appication of calculus. i got killed in my one. it felt more like a 4u paper?!

 

[Jago]

I rather enjoyed my 3u paper. Challenging, but do-able.

 

[Trippendicular]

I stuffed up my 2U and it was worth 30% of assessment, which is annoying as I came straight home and did the questions i stuffed up in the test easily

 

[monique66]

Got 43/50 but the stupid 3units beat me!

 

[Kutay]

43/50 thats a heaps good mark you should be happy with that

 

[nick1048]

I did mine today, no marks back yet but it wasn't too difficult, it wasn't bad though I'm not saying it was easy. 2 Hours was a little too long for the exam at hand although it gave ample time to check your responses. Then again I could have completely f%&$ed it up and I just think I did ok lol, we'll see when the results come back.

NOW FOR 3U STUDY >.<!

Maths was gay!

OMG maths was terrible!!! I hate maths but ive got to do it.... ive got 12 units still sooo yeah... i might as well get some maths knowledge and keep doing it!

Well our test was really hard 7 question and it was out of 84 marks.

Well its alright im happy its over!! Our class is gonna fail i know it everyone in our class said it! It was hard even for the 2 unit students.

GGrrrrrrrrrrr!@!!!!

I did mine a cople of hours ago, and it only had series and geom applications of calc in it.

It was very easy tp study for wth only two topics and it was a lovely test.

Now if only I was so prepared for Modern History....*panics*

 

[sunjet]

Did mine today was ok.. i think i stuff up a congruent triangles q(didnt study prelim) and a limiting sum question.. otherwise l'll see what I get.

 

[snowblack]

i just did mine like 3 hours ago....no comment except for the fact that our class will do shite yet again ....im so glad we wont get it back until after the hols
