i might have done the independent exam. but my teacher changes most of the easy questions with crazier questions. i thought it was alright. tell me some questions to see if i done it.

I might have, too. It wasn't too hard, pretty reasonable for an ext. 1 paper. There were some hard trig questions, the rest was pretty good

yh I think my school changed up some of the trig
then i think we might have done a way different paper to you guys. we only had one trig question and it was so simple.

the circle geo and some of the parametrics was hard

ps i dont think it was the independent paper, i think it mite be the catholic one soz

not sure if i had the independent one or the catholic one cause i go to a catholic school but they tend to use the independent one.

what were some of the questions, i find its easier to remember the harder ones :p LOL

I think it's of rarity now days for Preliminary students to receive CSSA papers from their school. However many school's do use Independent papers. Here's a good way to tell.

Huh? I just had my science yearly today and it is in the same format as the one in your picture. The independent paper. Are there such independent papers for year 10 then?

the 1 topic that i hate, had to be in it....

and did you guys have some question about the angle of inclination, i didnt realise it was asking for the angle between the curve. FUCK

Was there any probability and permutations and combinations? I don't think our school does Independent.

my class hasnt done probability; however perms and combs their was around 8 marks..
1 question was about how many different ways you can get from a to b if you can only go North and East.
and another one was about the number of vowels or someshit in the word HEXAGON.

ok that means i did the same paper as you. i didn't get the how many ways question. tbh circle geo was definately the hardest in my opinion. i lost 7 out of the 10 circle geometry questions in the test. also did you guys have the proove question using the factorial crap right at the end, cause that was also hard.
