That was the most effing hard test I've ever done and probably ever will do. I failed. Death to mathematics.

i thought that it was hard and im really disappointed cos ive worked so hard there was a lot of questions that i knew i was just getting riduclous anwers so i had to do them repetedly and 3 hours wasnt enough
was kind hoping people would say it was hard

Hey, don't worry, i feel the same way. I was disappointed there wasn't any monthly repayments or rates of change ones. Oh well.

it was really really hard. dissapointed! ive done all past papers and could get about 80% and up. this paper was just screwed!!! wtf was with question 10 b

i agree, it was pretty hard, and i'm pissed with myself that i couldn't do better

and the exponential growth and decay question was kinda weird, usually they give you an initial amount
i used simultaneous equations....anyone else do the same??

Hey. Don't worry, I found it really challenging. I did 2006's HSC and 2005's the other day and I could actually complete the whole tests with around 90% (factoring in mistakes, etc), which is a really great mark for me. But today I just found it so difficult compared to what I've done. Supposedly our trials were meant to be harder than the HSC, but this was much more difficult. I've worked really hard too throughout the year, and I actually ended up coming 4th in our year which was great for me in maths, and today it just feels like all of that's gone to waste. Anyway, I won't complain as I guess I should have expected it to be a lot harder than previous years. It's still just disappointing I guess…

Yeah, I was the same. I was on such a high after doing the 05 and 06 paper...I thought I might actually have a chance of acing this thing!

All that work to waste.
Ah well.
It's times like these I'm glad I don't need 99.9 (phew)

out of all the papers i have done from 2000-06 that was the crappest test in the world
most ppl at my skool found it hard
i ve lost at least like 15-20 marks for not attempting!!!!
arrghh
but i m prob sitting on a raw mark of around 80%
and with scaling at my skooll which is pretty good i can atleast get a band 5
but ne t hing lower
i ll prob do it next yr again

 

[75 or 99!]

i looked at question 10 and went " oh f**K" i mean if i understood the question i wud be able to put sumfin down
there were some questions that i just didn't do and ths embarassing coz i'm doing extension most of them were probability i hate probability!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...i am shit scared about this paper this was probably my most fd up paper...there were other questions where i wasnt sure if the answer i got was right or not and as a rule of thumb u should be confident in your answer but in thatsituation like u either put down something or ur so fD...god i hope i will be okay...i have no fn idea!

It was harder than the prev HSC papers from the Success Book!!! I was really disappointed whenI got to Q6 and beyond, cos I'd done so many practice qs and it was so much harder! I was almost crying at the end of the exam! (the only exam that happened). I didn't even bother doin Q10, what a piece of %$#&.

Yet somehow I managed to get a band 6 in it...? comprehende? And it was the highest of all of my subjects....
weird
