Yeh I wasn't really sure, I was gonna say composite materials but I don't really know much about them.

Yeh I think it was 8.8 tho

I had to divide by 10 but I dunno maybe u done it different, I doubt you got it wrong if u got around the same answer. For the aeronautical I done jet engines that counts doesnt it?

I Yeh I've seen stuff like that a bit I think its just to make sure your confident with the concept or whatever.

For the the mass of the rider, did anyone get about 95 I can remember the exact number. I didn't really understand how you can apply a moment force from being on the bike.

Nah, off the top of my head: Quenching Annealing Tempering Normalising Case hardening Precipitation hardening

Stress/strain youngs modulus Heat treatments and obviously heaps of calculating forces and work, power and energy...

This guy in an engineering teacher and has some awesome stuff, 'High School Engineering Teacher and Cabinetmaker'.

I'm not bragging I'm just trying to make the point it wasn't beyond what we were taught, it just required a lot of problem solving. Yeh it took me a while to get that, actually pretty simple but it was rather confusing how it was worded.

I think Ill learn the key points from the syllabus then do a past paper on Monday morning.

That might not be that easy actually, its quite big.

All the questions were on things that can be tested... I didn't come across anything I hadn't been taught, the only thing I wasn't sure how to do was the last one and that can probably be put down to studying the day before.

Well if everyone knows exactly what to expect its not as good a test of problem solving IMO.

Thanks guys. I hope its on financial that's pretty easy.

Any advice if I haven't started studying yet?

Well I guess we can agree to disagree. I think its a good idea throwing a few curve balls, like I mentioned it is a better test of problem solving skills and how people react to seeing something they haven't seen before. It may not be how the HSC exams usually work but it happens in life and I...

I can see where your coming from but they aren't really obliged to say how difficult the exam is going to be, and a maths exam is meant to test a persons problem solving ability not just knowledge. And if you got 90 it is more than likely the difficulty of the exam was to your advantage.

I don't really know why you are all so angry about the difficulty of the exam. Firstly scaling will sort a certain amount of it out and secondly in past years it has been so easy that so many people were getting band six's and it was stupid mistakes rather than knowledge and skill separating...
