hardest 4u papers (2 Viewers)

Probably don't even have a 3u cohort.

It does

A cohort of < 25 people

 

[Carrotsticks]

Zero is less than 25.

2002 SBHS trial was great fun.

I second this.

How about 4u?

all 4u kids do 3u, so i'll post here.

all 4u people take a go at the 2014 Sydney boys 3u paper. its a toughie if put on the difficulty scale for 3u.

but the teacher who set this was very devious - significantly reduced how many marks each question was out of to put in more questions.

it made the test such an ass, because a 2 mark question sometimes needed 2 pages of working, and it annoys the hell out of me.

you can't just reduce mark allocation to fit in more questions... there has to be a point where it stops.

otherwise, a great challenging paper

do you have solutions to the paper?

#circlegeo?

#circlegeo?

that was the question with the worst mark allocation.

but the problem I described was across the board. nearly every question was 1 or 2 marks less than it should have been given.

Reminds me of Carrotsticks paper.

Hoping for some beautiful combinatorics & probability tomorrow!

thank you

tbh I reckon that 3u sbhs trial was pretty easy

I wouldn't call it 'pretty easy', probably about/a bit above average.

 

[mreditor16]

if you think that, then you need to back it up with a 98+ 3u external mark. because on the scale of 3u trial exams, 3u sbhs 2014 was quite a bit on the hard side.

 

[mreditor16]

Reminds me of Carrotsticks paper.

exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Carrotsticks]

Interested to see a copy of this paper. Perhaps there was a shorter way.

 

[Kurosaki]

Here you go; it doesn't take long once you see the trick for the circle geo tho. Took me about 7 or so minutes of staring but then I don't really have much mathematical intuition.

 

[dunjaaa]

alright, going to try the paper out now

 

[dunjaaa]

wait nvm its 3u, but what was the query about the paper?
