Ugh, I got like 50%
But our average was around 40 or something.
Ended up coming around 12/50.
I kept telling myself " No big deal, I'll study from now until the HSC and do really well in the externals, and i'll be fine." The exam's tomorrow, and I haven't studied!
The reason why people are getting low marks, despite how easy the paper is that it is GENERAL MATHS. Ie - No one gives a shit. People that aren't that bright do it because they feel like they should do maths. And people that ARE clever and are able to get band 6's in general maths (such as myself - I chose general over 2u because I KNEW I could easily get a band 6), think "fuck this subject is easy. Ehh, I don't need to study, what's the point?" And then they end up with a 60% because they didn't study, and don't know what they're talking about.
The reason most people do badly in general maths is because they don't study. Because it's so easy. Make sense?
