Hey,

I'm 95% sure that this is from the old study design. Someone correct me if I am wrong, however.

Hey everyone! Is it worth doing the NEAP Trial Exam for 2016? I started on Exam 1 and I'm finding it really hard. Not sure if I'm just getting dumber or NEAP is just generally hard, hahah

Hey anything with deposits involved is from the old study design yeah?

Others say this is on the old study design but I'll take a crack anyway. $3000 deposit means we have already paid $3000. Therefore we must pay $12000 off the loan.

36 monthly payments = 12 payments per year over 3 years

If we pay $400 monthly, that is $4800 per year. If we are paying off a $12000 loan over three years that can equate to paying $4000 off the principal each year.

Therefore, if we pay $4800 each year, but only paying off $4000 off the principle, we are paying $800 interest. 800/4000 = 0.2. Therefore, the annual interest rate is 20%.

E.

Not a great explanation, let me know if I am incorrect  Hope that helps!

Out of curiosity, where did the question come from?

It was from an MAV paper, I think it was 2015 but don't take my word for it

Hi,

Does anyone know the real difference between saying that a time series plot is irregular or has no trend at all? Also, what is a secular trend?

Another question I have is the attached finance one. Could someone please help. 

Thanks! 

Hmm, I think the plot can't not have a trend. If there is no visible trend it has to be irregular.
Someone pls confirm, I'm just hypothesising.

Also, Clarke54321, what's the answer for the finance question you attached?

Do you guys think VCAA will make this year's exam hard?

[Drewballs]

I reckon it will be easy, with the new study design they need to "test the waters" to see how students respond to questions

If you lose 3-4 marks in total over both exams, can you get a 45?

As long as your sac marks are up to scratch that sounds plausible.

Yeah, but go in with the mindset you won't lose any!
