POLL: Exam 2 Difficulty

[Over9000]

People who did good will say its easy.
Those who did bad will say its hard.
So you can wait until examiners report comes out if you really wanna know how hard it was relative statewide and not just subjective opinions.

True. However, my spec teacher is on the committee that writes the methods exam and after we'd finished, she confirmed that their intention was to make it harder than 2008.

I thought any teachers who were teaching could not be on the board as that is part of the criteria. Two of my teachers used to be on the board but they stopped because they were teaching this year. It's only fair because IF your teacher leaked it to you spesh students who did do methods well then that's a discrepency...just a thought

But in response, I thought this exam was very fair - written was easy and the MC needed a lot of thinking in a few questions.

The person who writes the exam cant be, the people who mark the exam can be. Im guessing his teacher is a marker or sumthing.

'spec teacher' does not equal methods teacher.

This. My spec teacher writes the methods exams. Nothing wrong there, she doesn't teach methods.

Moreover, nothing was 'leaked' as she only told us after the exam.

[TrueTears]

I think it was a fair exam, some tricky questions.

Same.  It was fair but in my opinion, I thought it was a tad harder than '07.  I wonder what the rest of the state thought though - remembering that we are only a select few.

I do CAS.

But I thought wrong still, I was thinking along 2006 lines, according to 2008, I cud still get A+, cool.

[dejan91]

Ahh CAS ok. Forgot. Yeah still above cut-off though.

[Davoo!]

It was heaps harder than 06. I'm thinking it was the same as 07. Tad bit harder than 08.

Hope 110/160 is enough for an A!

[Ball Lightning]

Probably should have split the topic into CAS/Non-CAS This year was much harder then lasts, i aced that in just over an hour. Like this one wasn't to hard.. just a general hard difficultly which meant not much time to check.
