what is the quality like for the TSFX exams? do they stack up against the neaps, insights, etc of the world?
-
Their exams are ridiculous. Most of the time, they dont stick to the course and they add insanely hard questions. The tsfx exams are normally way harder than neap, insight etc

but they aren't as bad as Itute -->they are the bitches of subject abuse.

Oh man definately! Some of itute's exams just make you question your education.

epic lulz

Generally they add a few trick questions or questions that you are not likely to ever get in the exams. I like NEAP exams, they can be hard and relavent at the same time. I also don't mind Insight.
-
Hmmm...last insight exam I did was ridiculously easy so I'm a bit put off them. They have to prove they're better than that :P
-
What subject was that exam for? I tended to quite like Insight exams. They've definitely got the best solutions packs out of any company. Pretty sure they had the best bio exams, and their chem ones weren't too bad either.

My guess is Physics since that's his own mid-year

Yep Insight solutions are very thorough (every multiple choice is explained including why each choice is wrong, which helps you get start identifying distractors).
-
How about TSSM EXAMS???
-
Yeah Shinny, that insight one was for physics (last years).
-
TSFX make exams very very difficult so that you feel panicked about the exams and therefore enter their vce "programs" to "improve your enter"......
-
Also sometimes their solutions are just wrong. Much more frequently than other companies...
-
They put stuff in there that you really don't need to know, to make it seem hard. Then (apparently) they also teach you this stuff outside the scope of the course so you can do the questions, so you feel like you're learning heaps. (Or so i've heard)

ive got contacts with tsfx, and they do NOT teach this 'stuff' that are not in the study design. The company is loaded with chief assessors, hence rules out that possibility. one might argue though, that that individual might have thought that the 'stuff' is outside the study design because he MAY not be aware that the stuff is actually included in the course.
-
TSFX 2006 Methods Exam 1 was the first trial exam that I had done and all I can say is that I got thrashed by it.
After reading some of the posts here from others saying that it was difficult, more self-esteem has gone up again. :)

hmmm....1 post from a new person defending tsfx n with a suspicious name. i think xavier1234 works for tsfx. good job mate - but i think ur caught out. even my teacher who is a spec maths assessor says ur tsfx maths exams are outside the syllabus.

Haha, I felt the same too. My teacher wrote it. He's a very funny guy. His theory was that if you know Methods 3/4 you can do everything on that paper. He was right. I mean except for the Lambert W function!
-
I don't see the problem though..you do tsfx exams, feel bad if you get a low score and study more. Loearning more outside the scope never hurt anyone :)

Exactly; it enriches the learning experience and improves your maths a lot.
-
TSFX exams are made specifically to catch you out.. They test knowledge, but mainly they teach exam technique :) but i agree, the questions on the biol Unit 3 ones are i am sure, straight from the Unit 4 genetics course..

you shit yourself therefore you study more.

i don't know why people cliam that exponential question used the lambert w function, it could have beeen any letter , just they chosen to substitute w, It was a simple bit of factorising and wouldn't be suprised if it cam up on exam 1 or 2,
Im not sure you're aware of what the true lambert w function is. it uses complex numbers of which none are required for that particular question.
