nah you don't use the discriminant for that one, I hated that question! spent about 20 minutes trying to remember how to solve it! and I still don't think I got it right :(
can't remember the exact question but I definitely remember it saying "use the discriminant to solve...." possibly I'm recalling from practice papers, but I'm almost certain it was in there. Maybe your paper was edited a bit?
parts of the paper were really hard, parts were easy. I managed to get to 2(8-r) but I had no idea what to do after that.
and our paper was unedited and there was definitely a discriminant question in there. I remember cos I knew how to do it haha
english was a bit hard, but belonging was easy (for those doing catholic trials, who the heck calls their kid "basil" or "brick"?) Still have 5 more exams :(
I said no change to the no religion one dammit!
How bad were the extended response questions...what are the enduring questions of human existence??? Haha I ended up doing Judaism because I understood the question better than Christianity :L
they can't have given them out, the schools only got them in the first week because all the teachers told us when they had them (but obviously wouldn't tell us what was on them!) CSSA are pretty protective of them- my english teacher is on the board that writes them and he wouldn't give us any...
Shouldn't you just be able to use your 2u case studies? I know everyone does the 1945 topic, and then your religious tradition studies (Islam etc) you should just be able to use them- the syllabus is identical for the case studies, the only difference is in 2u you do three and in 1u you only do two.
