How did you guys find the exam?

 

[kevinx2]

i....don't....like.........al' goh riddums (algorithms) =(

There were not a lot of algorithms as the HSC past papers though. Did...alright

What did you get for that "Identify the string process and give a description of something something GENERAL"?

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Same here, I hated making algorithms.

I'm not quite sure, I sort of remember the question but not quite though.......sorry.

 

[DunnyBasher]

Terrible exam. Very easy...but when you don't remember most of the coursework it's terrible.

"Identify the string process and give a description of something something GENERAL"?

I think I said selection...no idea if its even one of the string processes...i know there was extraction but I couldn't quite remember. Then I rambled about how a general application is copying a part of a string, like in a word processor. lol

 

[JDurrant]

Think it was polymorphism actually, but not sure, my reasoning was pretty weak.

Overall was pretty fair, will be more ready for HSC

 

[shreddr]

thought it pretty easy, just struggled with the 4 mark desk check question..i thought that was rediculous..yuk anyways ive got a question, since my class is like full ofr negative people who chose the subject just for fun, does anyway want to hang out and study for sdd?

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Wow, you guys find the SDD Exam easy?
I've always found SDD exams to be hard and challenging.


How'd you guys go with the binary stuff?

 

[JDurrant]

We do the evolution option at my school, looked at hardware and laughed, seemed so hard

 

[kevinx2]

Woo i got 54.5 %, came 5th in the class. HAPPY MARK??

So much mixed emotions...

Woo i got 54.5 %, came 3rd in the class. :mad1:

So much mixed emotions...

You already got your marks? That is quick

Yah, very suprising since my software teacher takes agess to mark, we still haven't got out major project marks back

 

[spacepizza90]

Same here

Not only the major project but we haven't got our research task back either.
I hope he will mark the exam quickly this time...

Which part did your teacher mark the hardest? Is there any way you can agrue some marks back? We always do that in Chem and Phy...

Oh we've only got our marks and ranks back and lol i will definitely be arguing for some extra marks

lol
what makes me worry is that i left some questions blank or wrote something that makes no sense. Can't get marks for blank lines

I actually saw the dot point of string processing in the syllbus before and tried to look up in my text book. Guess what, the text book doesn't cover it...So I forgot about it and here it is in my trial paper.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

I've never heard about any student that does SDD that gets above around 55% in an SDD Exam! lol

 

[BoyNextDoor]

^
Oh I see.....that's pretty good. But it still ain't REALLY good though. lol
Its pretty hard to get marks in this subject.

 

[miche11e]

i got 67.5 but i was hoping for something better - i would have done better if i didnt have 4 unit the day before and physics the arvo after *shakes fist*

 

[BoyNextDoor]

^
Wow, that's a pretty high mark.
This subject is way too freaking hard! Too much content and other little bits and pieces.

 

[DunnyBasher]

I do SDD by correspondence, got my mark back (76%) today. Seeing as I did about 2 hrs study the night before (in contrast to physics which I spent most of the weeks prior studying for ), and thinking after the exam I would be last in the class, I'm very happy with coming 1st.

 

[miche11e]

i failed physics (48%). Just 2 more marks and i would have been tying last with a pass dangit... i hate how theyre all crammed together...

their on the same day for the HSC too (my last day thank goodness i dropped chem!)
