    "making up" geo theorems

    all uni ppl expect you to use e^i@ tho..

    How long does the exam take

    Depends. Realistically speaking, most ppl don't finish 4U, hence the scaling factor. If you go really really really fast (I mean, I usually go a few minutes slower per q in exam to make sure I don't make mistakes) and you "know" how to do all the q's so you're just writing down the solns, it'd...

    Anyone been to/off to NMSS this year?

    I have a free set of set. Ha! *lol, that was a silly joke...*

    Question on question 8

    although, spending time on Q1-7 is also a good idea :-)

    "making up" geo theorems

    abbreviation. Such as Vert.opp.(angle sign) for reasons, and supp. (angle sign) instead of "opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary"

    Deadly Question - Very Very deadly.

    So, just to restate wogboy's argument, it is possible to arrange any conditionally convergent sequence to sum to any term you like. :-)

    how much does 4u get scaled????

    Redp3n, I doubt that you'd be very happy if you asked a 4U question on this forum and everyone called you an idiot either... you're entitled to your views I guess but keep off the swearing ok? :-)

    lol, but we don't get sponsored by mining giants..

    Anyone been to/off to NMSS this year?

    Oh man, someone other than me bothered to do the searches? :-P

    Anyone been to/off to NMSS this year?

    anyone else? please? ariel, you can pm me if you want and I can give you the emails of other former NMSS people... if you want a second opinion on it :-)

    Easy qn

    There's no such thing as a "positive" square root in complex numbers... :-) ie the square root symbol in reals implies the positive one, but there's no satisfactory way to imply positiveness in complex, so ppl just write both...

    Anyone been to/off to NMSS this year?

    Umm... okay. Money: yeah. I guess you can apply for financial if you want to... Time and energy: I'm a bit biased on this one. Most ppl found it heaps of fun, basically you have 2 talks every day, but much of the day (say afternoon and night?) is mucking around and having fun with other...

    reason for difficulty....

    One of the reasons the exam was harder than last year was because of one of the guys on the board being an UNSW lecturer who knows his stuff :-) yeah. He set a lot the 4U paper, and so I'd guess he might have a bit of influence on the 3U... but then, think about it this way. Who do you...

    Is 3 unit harder then 4unit???

    In my school it was more like "my name is turtle, so remember when you mark it to look REALLY hard for any silly mistakes I have, and also take an extra mark off because I use obscure working which i then have to wrestle back..." lol

    Starting at Q8?

    well, sorta hard to start at Q8 in 3 unit.. right?
  17. turtle_2468

    Is 3 unit harder then 4unit???

    don't worry, not important just something like "therefore the bullet travelled 4.55 metres before hitting the slope"

    maths help (anyone anylevel)

    While ppl are at it, I'm open for tutoring too :-) Yeah, I reckon I have good interpersonal skills too (hey, sorry but I feel slighted :-P)... but yeah, I'm doing mostly north shore and city, and I charge relatively high rates. So umm... not taking guy's business above, and no offence intended...

    Starting at Q8?

    Forgot to take a compass into SC in 2000... had to make do with a piece of string from science :-) And a pacer.. figure out how did horribly in it though

    Oooo, I Cant Wait!!!

    3 unit... took me around 1 hr 35. The series question fooled me... had to use sigma notation everywhere with an algebra bash... sort of explains why they didn't give me first though :-) Come on, ingenuity must be worth something.. Oh. I forgot... this is the HSC after all.
