How Hard Was Tht? (2 Viewers)

[mathslover]

i felt heaps bad after the exam finished but now im feeling better coz every1 seems to have failed!!

so we r all in the same boat cept 4 the 4 unit kiddies...

ARGHH I DO 4U AND I FOUND IT HARD!!! BUT I PASSED HOPEFULLY... HOPING TO HAVE GOT 60%

 

[ipod21]

stop crying everyone



"oh it was harder than last year blah blah"

it's a test ..... to test what you know, not how well you revised past papers.

thats the problem with the hsc, people just learn the past papers. i think its good the BOS are taking a new direction.

alternate segment thm? as in angle between tangent and chord? :S
i wish theyd asked for a normal hardish circle geo Q.. finding all the angles and using heaps of thms.. the ones i could actually do, not this rubbish...
what a waste...

yeah, and then supplementary angles in cyclic quad in C1.
and then i found both of the base angles of the triangle to be equal, hence isosceles.

where on earth is the tangent though?

EDIT: omgggggg FUCK I SEE IT

 

[Prosper]

worst exam of my whole life
hated that probability question as well
ugh

Probability in this test was very easy.

 

[danz90]

Probability in this test was very easy.

they only had like 2 measly marks on probability, far out i was relying on probability in the exam to score me a few more marks. but nooooo lol

 

[jess.!]

what were the answers to the probability?

 

[proringz]

yeh i agree the aligning will be better for us, to account for the difficulty and lower marks achieved overall.

but that circle geo was pretty straightforward IMO, I used the alternate segment theorem, and then straight line.

I used, alternate segment theorem, then exterior angle of cyclic quad, then vertically opposite. therefore, the two angles equal, hence the triangle is isoceles.

what were the answers to the probability?

what probability? I just looked through the whole paper and there's no question on probability.

 

[I-Love-Jesus]

what were the answers to the probability?

I had:
(i) 7!
(ii) 7!.4 or (8!)/2

 

[poWerdrY]

8!/2 for the second part

but fuck! i didnt see it. i was doing by cases but didnt realise the it was so simple. (john behind barbara is 1/2 of all cases)

 

[Triple777ER]

whofuckinever that was easy ima come to your place rip your balls off and go fuck a slut really hard.

 

[sle3pe3bumz]

Omg I feel the same way as everyone. That was extremely challenging. Worst exam I've ever done.

 

[jess.!]

I had:
(i) 7!
(ii) 7!.4 or (8!)/2

dammit. i always sucked at probability.
great, there's another 2 marks down the drain

 

[wil123]

i think its good the BOS are taking a new direction.

Yeah.. and that's why they gave 2 unit students the easiest paper yet. Get over yourself.

likewise, looking over it, it wasnt as hard as i initially thought but 2unit math, economics and bad sleep got 2 me. only around 65-70% raw, so much for band 6

I too wanted some binomial probability or something more on permutation/combination's. It was disappointing.

Did anyone else notice that Q1 (e) this year was exactly the same as Q4 (a) from 2005, except it was theta instead of x?

I think that's an appropriate indication of the difficulty of this exam.

yeah, I noticed that as soon as I saw it. I think back then, it was a controversial question since normal ext 1 students don't make substitutions themselves, but I guess there's other methods.

 

[baller4life]

alot of the test was quite simple applications

only really got tricky in q 6 and 7

think ill get about 70 raw counting silly mistakes

 

[caraw]

yep same here, hopefully willl be a low average thus marks may increase
