The 2004 HSC - General Mathematics Paper (1 Viewer)

Hey

i'm a bit worried. That was one of the easiest tests i have evr done in general maths and thats saying something since ive never gotten below 92%...

I finished with an hour to go as did most of our class went through it and only found two minor mistakes worth like 5 marks at most.....

i would have preferred it to be much harder so i could show how much i actually did know and so the little half marks that people loose wouldn't count so much....

anyway, definately the easiest test ive done so far.

gough you got question 17 wrong too.....
880/110
=8
and 8 times 10
= 80
so she got $80 back in tax not $88

yeah i wouldn't have minded it being a bit harder, otherwise there's no distinction between people who are really good at the subject and those that did well because the exam was easy. i think i did pretty well, but i usually make a lot of stupid errors. ah well, here's hoping. i finished with just under and hour to go. i think it's crazy for them to make a 2.5 hr exam that can be finished in 1.5 hrs, and i wasn't even rushing. well now that i've made myself sound like an intellectual wanker, i had better do well!
