Title: exam difficulty
Post by: letsride on September 24, 2010, 04:00:39 pm
where do the exams rate?
I'm pre sure insight is the easiest, followed by heff, and kilbaha/mav are at the top i think? what do you guys reckon, and where would vcaa exams sit.

just did insight exam 1 and got 38/40

Probably Kilbaha are the hardest of the company papers, and I guess I agree that Insight is comparatively easy

insight sucks, well the 06 paper was terrible. they give u 10 working lines to state 2 obvious transformations, a reflection and translation. cbf completing the exam after that question.

insight have piss easy exam 1's and most of the time same with exam 2's but they can have some moderately hard ones.,

I think every company has there moments when they are difficult but on the whole, if you can ace kilbaha your in a good spot.

VCAA are definitely the easier ones, hope they follow suit this year!

....iTute is definitely the hardest. I never lost more than 6 or 7 marks on any other company's exam 2, yet I lost like 15 marks on iTute.

VCAA exams always have that one question that craps all over the difficulty of these practice exams.

Most of the questions are easy but there will always be that one that only 4-17 percent of people will get full marks for. It's pretty much the question that will separate the A's from A+'s.

That is the question I always am able to do but lose marks for stupid errors in other easy questions.

*sigh*
