how about pricewaterhouse coopers???

they can be fun, but they can also frustrate you like hell at times. esp. the permutation and combination questions.

not to worry....i asked the guy again. he actually got 98.5 - my bad. sry if i wasted ur time ragerunner. :rolleyes:

the day urs start, is the day they finish at my school. aug 2 - aug 13 i think we must have our trials a bit earlier than most other schools.

So the following scenario wouldn't make sense?: - person comes first in the grade - same person gets 100 in the hsc exam (although they don't give raw exam marks do they?) - person then gets 99.5 as an aligned mark (supposedly) To me it doesn't make sense, but according to a guy I know -...

on that note....when do your trials start. at my school, they start week 2 term 3 (might be wk 3)

i have to disagree. coroneos has a bad layout - i'll say that much, but it has good questions in it. use it as a supplement to cambridge and fitzpatrick, as well as past papers and ur set for the hsc - IMO.

Everytime I think I'm sure about what happens in aligning, someone says something that makes me confused again :) Apparently, some guy a year ahead of me came first in the grade and got 100 in the hsc exam, and yet only got 99.5 as an aligned mark. The guy who told me is sure that that is the...

currently doing physical apps - binomial after the trials (my guess)....still gotta come back to newton's method of approximation, and then i think we'll be finished.

4) Take the log to base e of both sides. Edit: provided that was y=e^2x

so in order to take the easier and quicker way out, is it best to round to the nearest and put (nearest whole) next to it? it saves writing an explanation that may waste a minute or so....or if not....write both answers??? i think what i've done for some questions before when there was an...

related rates, further exponential growth and decay, SHM, projectile motion???

Sometimes it's awkward to round to the "nearest" in exponential growth and decay questions. For instance: The number of rabbits in a colony is given by N=80e^0.02t where t is in days. b) How many rabbits will there be after 30 days. My answer: 145.77 = 145 Answer in book: 146...

80% and 3/36 (I think it's 36).

What was the outcome? How do you rectify a problem such as that above?....it could have repurcussions for every HSC student, and not just for the students sitting the exam for the subject in which the mistake was made.

i can see that they may be the fairest 'solution', however it kind of disadvantages the people who did interpret the question through common sense or prior knowledge and spent 5 or so minutes answering it. for me personally, it didn't really affect me apart from a couple of wasted...

In a recent maths assessment, there was a typo that made the question misleading. The teacher didn't inform us of the mistake beforehand (however using common sense, many of the students were able to figure out what the quesrion was actually asking). But if that happens, is the onus on the...

135 - seems pretty tough. i wonder if anybody has honestly won the comp ie. without any outside assistance at all.

i'm in yr11... the mansw comp. is only for yr11'ers i think. the two weeks i have actually fall right on the two weeks when i have the most assessments. :( so, if i don't get enough done....well i'm out of the comp :) how many marks out of the 135 do u think u need to get to win the comp.?

anyhow, if ur friend can't do exercise 1 without assistance......i don't know how he/she is gonna go with the rest of it.
