who else did not finish (1 Viewer)

[jessika]

meh, I didn't even get close to finishing, I just basically went through and put 'c' for the last 10 multiple choice questions, as for section 2 - I screwed that up pretty badly.

 

[tammer]

nah can't say the same for myself. i went thru the paper at a fairly slow pace to make sure i took care with reading the question etc and finished in time to check my paper over a few times...

 

[thedoktor69]

I found myself struggling for time to complete the whole thing. There were some parts that I didn't complete, and I guessed about 6 Multiple choice questions, but I ended up finishing all the stuff I could do with a few mins to spare.

yeah don't worry.. i didn't finish either.. i spent 2 much time on multiple choice, so i found myself rushing through the rest of the paper!

 

[KhaLien]

I answered everything in 1.5 hours and left.... probably got most of it wrong though

 

[nomza]

I finished with seriously less than a minute to spare......it's always multiple choice that gets you because they're pretty easy so you catch yourself thinking and re-checking coz you're like, pffft that was way too easy, I must've done something wrong.

 

[Marty]

ive fallen into the habit of checking and rechecking all my calculations

which slows me down

i 28 a) i ii & iii
and i just realised i totally missed 27 b)i & ii

 

[bex]

I did the 2nd part first and worked at a fairly slow pace which meant that the multiple choices were a bit rushed but i still finished in time

 

[melissella]

yeah
i worked thru it M/C first, then so on as it was set out. i finished with about 5 minutes left.

Yeah me too! I finished the last question with about 2 minutes left. So I went back to my MC.. Whenever I do MC and I don't know know the answer I put a mark around an answer I think is right then if I have no time at the end I just pick those ones.. Saves time I guess.

What'd you guys do for the last question? Did he have more or less that $15,000 saved?

 

[aLaNa]

i think my ansa waz he was under by almost $5000...?? Is that right?? I dont think soooo........ aaaahhhhhh well.... i didnt really know wot i waz doin cuz i started using the annuities formula, then i couldnt work out how to do it cuz he was addin that $2500 or woteva each yr afta he already had money in it, so i used the compound interest formula..... hmmmm......

 

[nomza]

Evie -- the thread Yes or No is all about that question -- the majority have said that he didn't have enough money so far.....

I hope it's right, 4 marks was like the most allocated to a single question.

i know!!! what was with that stoopid box??!! i had no idea.. but i made up something that kind of makes sense anyway... that was so dumb

 

[HyperJK]

I was another person who didn't finish the exam. i had to rush through and didn't manage to answer the last few Q's

 

[Alienator]

hmmmmmmm

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maths sux

 

[Eeeek]

lady said pens down just as i was writing no, after my working out on last q....pretty lucky.

 

[evie]

Well if people get the last questions wrong they'll prolly mark you ok (not be as strict) because they were long questions and took a lot of calculating. It's easy to make stupid mistakes when you're running out of time!
