.. It was soo cold in the hall (exam room). The damn teachers didn't turn the heaters on and my hands were all numb and shaky I'd be disappointed if i didn't get over 90%.
This is a time when gloves could be useful before the exam. I had major problems with cold hands last year and gloves work a treat for that sort of thing.

Did my Eng Adv yesterday and Maths 2U this morning. I will be pissed off if I don't get over 90% in English but for Maths I'm expecting either a fail or a 'just passed'. In the Trig section I answered 2 of the 8 questions and one was definitely wrong. Can anyone help me with trig :)?

mine's the opposite! i'm really disappointed with my teacher. i expect 100%.. well, at least 90%. everything was soo basic! i had two extended responses which were pretty easy regarding the marking criteria.

before that, i had 3u maths in the morning. the first sections were really hard: simplifying (yeah.. lol), rationalising the denominator (yeah.. lol) and even the simultaneous equations which i usually enjoy. :mad1: At least the circle geometry part was easy.

my exam was so basic, it was frustrating. we all studied everything in vain. total waste of effort.. and the long response didn't even make sense! haha, oh well. i want over 90% but i don't think it's possible. did you guys do the law of diminishing returns?

That's because they'll throw in super complicated questions to make up for the small amount of topics in the exam.

2U Trig... I dropped 3U in week 2 due to lack of adequate brain cells.
