    HSC Maths Exam Gets an F for Failing Our Students

    Strangely enough, my Maths teacher said it was 'harder', not 'hard', and that the entire exam was doable... I can't vouch for that, however.

    HSC Maths Exam Gets an F for Failing Our Students

    I've always wondered why maths advanced wasn't the lowest level of maths when it's considered the general level of mathematics all students are expected to reach in other countries (then again, our numeracy/literacy levels in this country are pretty low compared to others in the developed...

    Strats for short answers?

    I don't like reading entire extracts, so what I do is first unpack and understand the qn and actively search out quotes that seem to match the qn or can be linked to it through themes, only after which I start with 1-2 basic ideas (based on how many marks are allocated). Also look at the marks...
