Yea, general feels like a comprehension test sometimes it is reallyyy easy to misinterpret the questionI did 2012 past paper and got 83/100
Its not frustrating, I sometimes miss the key concepts of the question leading to choosing the wrong answer
It takes me good 20 mins to do MC

i know haha
have you learnt all topics for maths even year 11?
Ok you have 4 different charges to add up. First, if its a week where he gets an emergency call out so its a $150 allowance. Then you just have his normal working hours, 40 x 22.35 = $894. Then you have his 5 hour callout paid at double time, so 22.35 x 5 x 2 = $223.50. Then his 2nd call out is only 1.5 hours, but it says that callouts are paid for a minimum of 4 hours double time, so its 22.35 x 4 x 2 = $178.80.View attachment 28837
I seriously don't understand this question...
I got C but its the wrong answer
Someone please show me how it's done?
So add them all up 150+894+223.5+178.8 = $1446.30 = D

Should i change my DP?
Got 88 raw for 2011, made some terrible mistakes in multiple choice.
Any idea what this would moderate to? I was thinking 93-94.

I'm no expert but thats probably what I would estimate, definitely no higher than 94 though. In the most recent raw marks database, a raw of 89 in 2009 was aligned to 95

Yeah that's what i was going off. I might do the 2009 paper to get an indication to where i sit...
Are there any other raw marks around? Surely it's not only one...

Yeah same ere! Hoping to skim through all the topics and probs try and do 3 past papers hopefully !Mostly likely past papers! going over all content to be 100% to fill in gaps of knowledge and past papers
( haha I failed my own challenge :L )That 1.5 hour time gets put up to 4 hours worth of double time. That'll fix up your answer. Remember, he gets payed a minimum of 4 hours.View attachment 28837

Also, does anyone know how to do this question? I really don't see any other way other than inverse logs which I don't think would be in general maths - so I feel I'm doing it wrong.
Shelley invests her savings in an account. The account pays 8% p.a. interest compounding quarterly.
After how many years will Shelley's investment double in value?
