zzzzz stupid mistakes e.g forgetting to minus for the chair question... Not including greater or equal...
Happy with q16c tho especially when I put it in my calculator and was blessed with the magical numbers '4/9'

 

[qwert73]

But do you also need to label the point of intersection to get 2 mark so?

I don't think so but you might, I didn't though

 

[helpmeG]

i thought they had a system where if you get the answer and cross it out and they see it they give it?

No, once there is a line through it, it is gone. Not looked at. I was told by a marker that I know only about a fortnight ago...

GUYSSSS omg so for question 16 the cylinder and cone thing, I'm so fcking dumb factorised my thing wrong so instead of getting 2R/3 i had root2R/3...
and i just kinda went on trying to prove it (kinda failed) HAHAH but whatever i gave it a shot and tried to make the cylinder volume < 4/9 of the cone LOL

do you think i'll get any marks for CFE or something.. ugh hate myself omg how could i make such an amateur mistake.

 

[HecticSandWitch]

95-97 raw depending on how many marks they dock for each question.

IF you cross out but DONT WRITE ANYTHING ELSE>

they look at it . if it is correct you can get all the marks,

as soon as you write somethin else as an answer --> they don't look at the crossed out stuff

It is a 4 marker, the marking criteria to get 1/2 marks is usually incredibly lax. I am sure you'll be fine.

 

[Mr_Kap]

Why did the answers not prove that it was a maximum?

 

[aanthnnyyy]

really happy with exam. Harder than 2014 slightly? But way easier than 2013?

The problem is he still would have written the wrong answer

 

[Mr_Kap]

You guys reckon a 94 raw will go to 94 Examination mark??
or maybe 95 Examination mark??

 

[HecticSandWitch]

Idk but you wouldn't get full marks otherwise.

what do you mean by not write something else?

what i did was for the motion ride thing x = 44.. whatever it was. then line under i wrote 110-44, but i crossed this out, it's 100% legible, do you know if they give it? It's just a mark so im not too stressed

Likely a 95-96 examination mark.

 

[Mr_Kap]

Likely a 95-96 examination mark.

hopefully. I need at least 94 to get my 90+ atar, because i fucked up Hamlet

 

[drainbammage]

I forgot to times my answer by pi for 16b even though i wrote the formula correctly at the top, will i get 2/3 or will they show sympathy?

 

[luhanbby]

okay I'm having a dumb ass moment here; how do you integrate (e^y/8)^2 ? question 16 part a i think.
LOOOL far out think i lost like 5 marks judging by that guy's answers whoever just posted it
BYE BAND 6

perfect square expand it then do it normally?

 

[Mr_Kap]

i cant believe i forgot to put my calculator in radians.


It cost me the t=3 Volume question

Luckily I drew the graph for the volume so i got the other parts (very lucky).

 

[SlimiJay]

so annoyed tho got 11 b (i think) wrong mind just shut and couldnt bloody factorise it and 12 b i that show the question brain shut down so thats easy 4 marks gone :/ and 15 c what the actual fk was that how do you do that

16 was very easy
