a 92/100-93/100 i think it was, should be able to net you a 40+ provided good ranking.

Also was wondering what people will be doing tonight/tomorrow morning, are you guys just gonna stop like by a certain time so you can relax?

Last years A+ cutoff for exam 1 was 92.5%. That means the top 10% of students last year got 92.5% or above on their first exam. However the A+ cutoff for exam 2 was only 85%.

So to get into the top 10% you had to score 92.5% on the first, and then 85% on the second exam. A study score of 40 correlates to the top ~9 (?) % of students and therefore pretty much have to get into the A+ region to get a 40. So with 90% on both, it's pretty hard to tell but a 90% on exam 2 might make up for a 90% on exam 1 but again, shit is hard to tell.

I'll probably stop around midday tomorrow. Not sure what I'm gonna do in the morning though - read over notes and find questions I have trouble with?  Probably chill on ATARnotes for a while hopefully giving help to others.

A fair few people from my school have Biology in the morning, but yeah I had Methods at 3 something last year, and it's such a drag- I would recommend getting a sleep in and just relaxing, maybe re-do some tricky questions you've had trouble with before and maybe go for a walk/run or something. I tried to study before the exam, and it didn't work, I was just so distracted.

are these exams weighted evenly? the multi and SA?

I'm pretty sure that they are

Nah there not

exams are composed of around 66-67% of your study score.
the exam is composed itself of 100 marks. Multiple choice contributes of 40, and SA contributes of 60. So their not 50/50 in terms of your exam overall mark

Thanx a lot for all your feedback guys, all the best for tomorrow

Just checked the VCAA Further maths page, in the maths assessment handbook's last few pages it says that each exam contributes 33% to the final study score,

http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/vce/studies/mathematics/further/furthermathindex.aspx#H2N10073   -  found it here, under assessment - assessment handbook.

Yep,

Each exam is 33%. So your mark out of 40 for exam 1 will be 33%, and your mark out of 60 for exam 2 will be 33%.

Technically, losing marks in exam 1 is worse than losing marks in exam 2 because there are less marks available for the same 33%.

All the best for tomorrow's exam!

Any final tips for tomorrow? Anything you feel is a necessity to have on my bound book?

Going in with 96% average and rank 3 in my cohort, I'm pretty nervous

haha same here, rank 2 though

just a quick year 7 question. If a question says this is in $'000s, does this mean something that is 17.3, is in fact 173 000 ? or 173 00 ? just a bit unsure. And how are we meant to enter it and express is, in the 173000 form or 17.3 form ? this was on one of the vcaa exams in the past so just clearing up on it.

Cheers

If we take our textbooks as our bound reference are we allowed to have writing on the pages other than what is printed on??

Not sure off the top of my head - but, the assessment report for that year should have a comment on the appropriate way to answer.

Yes, this is fine.
