How was the exam? (1 Viewer)

[MarsBarz]

The exam was totally gay. It didn't have near enough of my six favorite/strongest topics:
1. Binomials
2. Polynomials
3. Circle geometry
4. Logarithms
5. Simple harmonic motion
6. Inverse functions

Seriously..., I love those topics why have so little on them? I rekon the 3U exam should be 3 hours or something. Like usual I ran out of time and did very little of question 6 and 7. I'm not going to get above 55.

will getting 70/84 get me a top band?

someone told me that last year it was about 75

 

[holla back girl]

i found i lost a mark.. hoping for 83

that is shameful!

 

[bunkers]

im hopin for a solid 82/84 provided no silly mistakes

 

[Diiiiiana-_-]

umm.

+65 means band 5, doesnt it?

 

[wrong_turn]

i hope to at least beat 42/84.....please let me pass...

 

[DistantCube]

mmm 70+, was going well towards 76+ until Q 7 and part of 6 really. Not bad though, not bad.

 

[kouklitsa]

i think i went alright.. i counted up what i think ill get and it should be just over 70/84... which is wat i was aiming for

I thought the questions were easy enough, but the exam was too long overall, and everything was too time consuming. Oh well.

 

[Libbster]

most likely, as i think i read somewhere that 64/84 was the cutoff in one particular year

 

[Jeeeb]

I think I'll get between 67 and 70 or so.... not to bad not to good though.

 

[blackfriday]

easiest 3u exam ive sat through, should be 81-82/84 (assuming that i still didnt get any dumb mistakes out during checking)

 

[MedNez]

It was ok. What I expected I suppose. Q1-5 were good, then it just went to bs

 

[Illidan]

hmm. don't think it was necesarily hard, just couldn't remember how to do most of it unfortunately

 

[Libbster]

hoping for 64+ if everything goes my way

 

[Dumsum]

Answered everything but I know I've lost 3 marks already, expecting ~80 (most likely high 70s). Good work me for not reading the question properly in the probability.

I wanted 84

 

[rama_v]

Im hoping for 70/84, from what I've counted...I screwed up the rates of change question and hence lost valuable time. I only did bits of 7(b) and had no time to check over my answers unfortunately

 

[Music Master]

Wow, I screwed that exam up totally. I could only do like 1 part in both 6 and 7, and the last part of the locus i screwed up really bad, and then there lots of other little bits i missed.

I'm looking at 66%.... good thing I went real good in 2u

 

[holla back girl]

Well that someone was wrong. I got maximum 68-70/84 last year, and ended up with 92/100 exam mark and overall mark (or 46/50).

So, to answer your question about whether getting 70/84 will get you top band, all signs point to yes, but it depends on the difficulty of the exam (and how everyone else went).

wow...thanks for clearing that up..
that some was some teacher on the hsc advice line

btw...what did you guys think of the difficulty of the exam compared to last year

 

[Illidan]

i think it's just as well i have 12u
