hey since it is open book do you think it would be at all useful to bring in a textbook? i havent really learnt any sequences and series and haven't honed my perms and combs skills so maybe some formulas/examples could be benificial?

misread..thought this was AMC

I would just bring my own summaries of topics and textbooks or notes that go through any topic to do with patterns like series and sequences and binomial

how did we all go? ^_^ I thought it was fun and interesting. no stress from the usual rushed exam conditions and was a good challenge with a fair time limit. we had 3 yr 12s, 1 yr 10 and around 7 yr 11s doing it. wbu guys?

I think I got question 1, 2, 5, 6 right. Hopefully anyway lol. And hoping my partial solutions to questions 3 and 4 gets me a couple marks.

Wait a minute, I thought when people meant UNSW comp, they meant ICAS........

I didn't do the UNSW comp then, I didn't even know it existed.

fail
