VCE General & Further Maths Question Thread!

This is true, but reminder that this will take up more space on your table.
I have taken this excerpt from VCAA's website (http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/vce/exams/authorisedmaterials.aspx):
"Further Mathematics Examination 1:
-one approved graphics or CAS calculator or CAS software and one scientific calculator
-one bound reference that may be annotated

Further Mathematics Examination 2:
-one approved graphics or CAS calculator or CAS software and one scientific calculator
-one bound reference that may be annotated"

So does that mean one or the other?

So does that mean one or the other?

No, but I can see why you'd be confused. You're allowed to bring one of the first three as well as one scientific calculator.

[abcdqdxD]

you can bring both the CAS and a scientific calculator

In the exam can u choose any three modules plus core, or are they set school by school on which modules you must complete?

[AngelWings]

Woo! Exam 1 down, Exam 2 to go. I won't say much more at the moment, in case it's too raw for you all.
(I have a copy of the exam, but we'll discuss this via message.)

Aside from core, which is compulsory for every Further student, it doesn't matter which 3 modules you choose, as long as you complete four sections by the end e.g. core and Modules 1, 2 and 6.
Furthermore, the three that you choose don't necessarily have to select the three modules your school did.
That is, you may choose to complete core and the first three modules, rather than doing modules 1, 2 and 4, the ones your school did.

Is it possible for anyone to upload the exam with suggested answers?

Although I should give it time, I know we're all eagerly worried about the exam...

Haha... I'm sorry, but I can only tell you what I got.
I can also scan my annotations in the exam, if you would like, but we'd have to discuss this elsewhere.

Mid to low 40's, depending on the cohort strength and cutoffs for exam 1
