HSC papers getting easier? (1 Viewer)

[SmileyCam]

Is it just me or have the HSC papers been getting easier over the past few years?

I'm doing them backwards and they just keep getting harder, maybe I'm just getting tired or something, but 2004, 2003 were pretty good, I was getting most of them even upto questions 7/8 but a few of the earlier ones I can only get upto about 5

agree...except i struggle with some of 2003, towards the end

I think 2004 was one of the easiest exams for a long time, although i was loooking at the 2004 hsc for a long time before i was looking at the other exams, so perhaps i just got used to the 2004 and hence find it easier.

so u reckon tomorrows will be hella easy? i hope so 2

 

[haboozin]

i hope its difficault...
but not super harder 3unit
those fucking inequalities (not the nice prove a^2 + b^2 >=2ab) take up so much time.

as i have said in numerous threds, the corse has changed, since 01 its been ext 2, nad 02+ have been easier than thier predesessors

My best results been an 80/120 on the 1999 paper, but then I did 2003,2002,2001 and 2000 when I really should have been going over all the course work .

IMO. Earlier papers are more fun than the more recent ones they have alot of interesting but very doable things.

2004 was a pretty easy paper - but 2003 wasnt that easy - 2001 and 2002 were pretty level - so there is no real apparent trend as i can see.

hopefully 2moro will be like 2004 nice and easy for us all

my class and teacher have worked out the possible hsc qs from observing the past 5 years exam papers

q 1 and 2 the same every year

changeing graphs [1/f(x)] q3
volumes by sliceing anules, q3
volume shells q5
circle geo q6 or 7
elipse, no peramiters q4or5
hyperbola q3
circular motion banked track q6
YUK proberbility q4or5

what about question 8? and do you trust your teachers instincts?

 

[Necros87]

question 8 they just chuck in the scum off the bottom of thier well mathematically trodden shoes and dont care to give us a razor included

 

[SmileyCam]

from what I've seen, in Q8 there is usually a recurance or a binomial expansion, but yes, it can be very random and deathy

Who reckons there will be a sum to infinity question in 2morrows paper?

 

[underthebridge]

Nah. Hopefully there won't be a conics question in question 8, or probability (2000 was yuk). I;m thinking maybe another integration one like last year with inequalities? Or a difficult induction type question.
