First Methods SAC

OMG talk about challenging! Has anyone had their first methods SAC? We had ours today, it was vicious. Bloody hardcore.
Just finished it though, I know a lot of people who didn't. 10 Questions, 70 marks, 1 hour.
Fairly straight forward, but some questions were just a little confusing.

At least I sort of know what to expect for the next SACs.

Well if a lot of people didn't finish it, then that places you in a very good position in terms of rankings, so far in the year anyway.  :D

Good luck.

By the way, what was the SAC on?

Umm it was domain and range stuff... i can't remember the name of the topic exactly, lol.

Like hybrid functions, f o g*, etc. Then a bit of polynomial stuff: box method and finding equation of graphs.

I've got mine in two weeks and if you're using Essentials, it's chapters 1-3, which is basically what you've just done.

Well two weeks ago I done what my Methods teacher called a "SAC"...but turns out it was just a lie to make us study harder :p (year 11). Got 79%...great I done better in my harder math imaginary "SAC" on imaginary numbers...So much imagination in my school :)

Several parts of this statement confuse me.

I think he's referring to General Mathematics (the pre-requisite into Specialist Maths) and comparing that to Methods.
