Tomorrow's the big day people, so who's ready for the exam??
Guys and girls just remember:
1. Read each question thoroughly
2. Relate the question to a particular formula
3. Sub in the correct values into the calculator
4.Check your calculator settings are correct
That's about all I can say...
All the best everyone, Good Luck =]
If anyone needs help with anything let me know ^_^
-
thanks odette
do you know how much the exam 1 and 2 are weighted? do they represent 22% and 44%?
also, what calculator settings should be correct?
oh and last of all lol, for the exam 2, when doing business maths, for a question that we need to show working out, is it ok to just writedown our calculator screen?? i use only my calc to do business mathsss???

I'm not too sure how the exams are weighted... I'd check but the vcaa site is sooooooo slow atm
Calculator settings: Make sure you put that diagnostic on (or else you cant calculate r and r^2), if you do geo and trig make sure the calculator is in degrees not radians, make sure if you're doing graphs and relations that you turn the plots off (the ones you used for the CORE).. just simple things like that :)
You should show most of your working out, um only copy the calculator screen if you used the tvm solver, as for formulas for simple interest, compound interest etc write out the formula and show working; because you get marks for showing working as you already know. :)
Hope that helps ^_^

If everyone has time, write out the answers they got so we can compare. XD

Odette how do you make sure that diagonostic thingo is on?

2nd, 0 , alpha, x^-1, go to diagnostic on, press enter. :)
To make sure it works use the linreg function and if r and r^2 work then its on :)
Good luck everyone

yeah sure, and we can take the exam booklet with us after we finish it, just like the english one, they only want the multiple choice sheet.
so we can compare answers

Exactly lol... oh but what about exam 2?? haha i'll see if i can get a copy off my teacher..
-
for exam 2, we'll have to copy down the answers onto the formulae sheet and take that out to compare.

John, I always get up early lol..:)

I just woke up hahaha.
...and whoa the further exam's over!
-
Well, that was pretty good. Easier than last year's imo. I'd scan it in but liek, i drew all over it. had to guess 2 questions though (gg there goes 5% LOL)
-
yeah was consistent with previous years imo
but going of what someone was saying about 3000 extra students doing further (which are the students who are now allowed to do Spec and further)... its going to be really hard to get 45+
