by the way, did anybody else have trouble solving 1200=......some t-equation....? i kept getting t=-3ish =S, ended up having to draw a graph to find intersection

yeah, the short answer seemed easier than the previous years, though the MC was just as hard (for me).

If you used the 'v=' equation and antidiffed, added the +c part and then solved for 1200 all in one input line you woulda gotten a positive solution as well

if m=1 all the vectors were equal so they were linearly dependent
OMG...
so obvious now... ><
I didn't get that because i added u+v together so it was like
(m+1) i etc etc
and w had just i
so i was like 1+1 =2
not =1
but arghhhhh

all you needed to do was put in a domain after the equation... 0< t <360 was big enough for it to give you t=240 something seconds

Furthermore, I did not study for spec this year (almost at all, minus the work I did during the year) and I found this to be much easier than other past exams by VCAA. MUCH easier. It was not hard at all in comparison to the others, I honestly, for a person who is not that great at spec ( ie - if i studied, have potential for maybe 36-37 raw) thought it was easy - and i think those who studied well are not going to reap the benefits.
I don't think it is going to scale as well as last year either - unless we all here just think it was easy, but the rest of the crowd thinks it was hard?
Post by: GerrySly on November 02, 2009, 06:16:34 pm

short answer was a gift of a section, however the Multiple choice was MUCH harder than the short answer. Overall an easy exam compared to other years however it was longer so believe it evens out. This was a test of how well you can use your calculator, nothing more. Obviously you have to know ur stuff but im sure you get what i mean.
I agree, I relied on my CAS much more than other practice exams..

i thought it was fcking hard cause im the non calculator person, any exam i woulda raped, but this calc one im pretty sure fcked me over. Every question you went along didn't give any indication if your solution was correct, so that felt pretty demoralising for me. But who knows, maybe i did get the right answers, But right now feeling depressedfcking spot on mate Zzzz

It would depend on how you went in sacs and also in exam 1 as these could adversely affect your study score if they were much different relative to your score in exam 2 but I would suggest you would be aiming for a mid-range B to get about 31 or 32, so about 45 or so out of 80.

Do you reckon getting a B+ in exam 1 and getting A+ in Exam 2 and A for SAC's(not moderated yet) can get you low 40's RAW?
