Hmmm I wasn't fond of this exam.
A few of the questions were worded really spastically and were confusing.
This is pretty much the first maths paper where I've had to leave questions.

I've been doing past papers and stuff for study and I've been doing perfectly fine, but then I got in there yesterday and couldn't do a lot of it.

I'm pretty confident that I passed, but I don't think I will get more than 60%.

FML.

I thik the exams have actually been easier than i'd expected. Except for that stupid square/ rectangle question in the general paper, oh and english paper 2 lol.
Other than that i thought they weren't too bad. Shame i didn't have much time to prepare though.

Im not sure about the original question, but wen it said hence or otherwise find the minimum and draw the graph i used two unit differentiation to find the turning point which was a minimum and to sketch the graph i just found the y intercept and joined it in a curve. The minimum was 525 i think.

I've been sitting here freaking out, thinking I've missed a question. Then I remember that we did the Independant Paper, despite being at a Catholic school and doing the CSSA for everything else.

I wonder why they did that. I was practising off past catholic trials (which I thought were pretty easy) and ours was more difficult. How odd.

Pretty easy exam, and with minimal study.

I WISH every subject was as simple as General Maths!

I thought my exam was hard, and it was indeed, with only 2 people scoring above 80%, one guy with an 83% and me with 93%.

Although in all honesty i think it would have been alot easier if i prepared a little better.

What about qu28. (iii) on the CSSA trial? Something about the answers that were sent were wrong, so I was right at 1st and then apparently wrong. anyway its on prob - After how many turns will the prob of the game continuing first fall below 1%. What really was the right answer?
