:( My calculator gave me the most random answer for the trig thing, and I just went ahead with it. I'm such an idiot.

In the maths paper- The one about the compound interest. I totally didnt see that I could use the table and I couldnt remember the formula.

History - Pick a PM and write one thing. I picked Menzies and wrote something random about migration.

I couldn't the very last question for the compund interest part! I got confused with what it was asking - investment thingy and just ended up writing 11th year because it was closest to the answer I got. I'm probably going to get it wrong..

I got 11th too :)




omg for the compound interest, I completely ditched the table at the start.... They gave me two lines to do the working for A then get the interest, and I was like ... something's wrong!!

The interest ended up being different if you used the table in the end for me.. Off by 5 cents, I think.

for the last question in science i put down how dams kill the river and damage the ecosystem.
Is dat right?
Oooh I hope so I said that too.

This will make me sound like a complete moron but i think i messed up a lot of maths questions. I actually ran out of time, which after hearing what other people have said about maths is embarassing to admit lol. I kind of misjudged how long it would take (after finishing 30 minutes early on the trial).

I probably stuffed up the English short-story response - I wasn't that creative, it was kinda dull and childish, and I juggled around with my paragraph structures.

In Geography I wrote about Waste Management for the extended response. Couldn't find much to write about so I definitely didn't get a high mark. I just said that Waste Management should be managed with the three R's: Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. Then I just gave one or two sentences on how each of these is done.

In History's extended response I talked about migrants. The question was *Describe a change for this group of people and *What were the effects of this change. I just spoke about how migrants were discriminated against and had to do a dictation test in a foreign language. For the change I talked about how the test was abolished and that it was easier for people to migrate to Australia, and that we became valued for our multiculturalism. So I probably didn't answer it all that correctly.

What did everybody else write for the 15-mark question for the History SC?

I found maths easy. It was a 11 because it was the first time the value reached over 2. Therefor it must of doubled at that instant. It takes no calculator work what so ever. I think people over though a lot of questions.

hmmm. I didn't bring a ruler to the science exam so I guessed the whale question. I should've used 'your thumb=2 cm' to do it. :p In Science, I was about to put DNA but I changed it to chromosome because the amount of boxes was so tempting! In English, I put changed my mind and put an answer as C, crossing it out, putting D, when C was the right answer all along. In Maths, I guessed all the triangular prism questions because I suck at shapes and visualising.
