i thought the question was tough, but fair. it will certainly seperate the good from the bad, but i didnt think it was overly difficult, time consuming tho, first time in all the papers i've done than i went down 2 the wire.

I can't believe you kids who are saying you think you got over 70% do you do 4 Unit or something???

I think i'll be LUCKY to get over 50% raw mark - and I'm not crap at 3U maths either.

It was crap hard... I HATE binomial theorem and applications of calculus to the physical world. I can get like 2 marks max on question 7.

Freakin.

well. firstly i must say it was better then i expected:) but i was expecting it to be really hard cause i am expecting to get like 40/84. i don't care that its not high but it probablily won't count with my uai cause i do 13units. the first q was good i should get 01 at least just i think i stuffed up the last part or the sub ques. overall i'm happy with how i went. 7 exams down 1 left and it'll be finished on a high and then my 18th PARTY!!!!!!

Hmm tres pissed off..

That exam so sucked! This is my second time round doing the HSC and I think even last years paper was like 10 times easier... my maths teacher reckons it was one of the hardest in the last few years...

I think the most difficult thing about the whole paper, however, was the fact that it required more than just a simple regurgitation of formulae and proofs - it was pretty extensive and detailed in the questioning, it was a long paper in itself, and required a lot of work to be done to answer each question..

DAMN YOU BOARD OF STUDIES... how dare u make us think! :p

don't you just hate it when it says prove this equals this, and, after two pages, you have ver cleverly proved it equals something else????

argh. not as bad as our trials. so hoping 70's. 80's would be amazing, but am doubting it. *sigh* there are so many incredibly smart people out there...well done you guys, if you think you can top. but how on earth do you finish it all?? i run out of time!!

holy shit, some of you guys are hard on yourselves....

i reckon i'll get over 50%, perhaps a bit more. It was a fair test, but i still sucked at it, which is odd because i am normally good at these things
