Dr He's Exam 2.

I learnt about modern warfare tactics.
And how to prove Snell's Law using Fermat's Principle from Physics.

Like he's Spesh one, multiple choice is standard difficulty but Extended Response was where the fun began.

It wasn't Snell's was it? Just that angle of incidence = angle of reflection!

NEVER EVER DO TSFX TRIALS! You should all know buy now that they make them exceptionally hard and for free because of one thing, luring you to their lectures. Oh hey having trouble with my extremely fucked trial paper? Come to TSFX and waste your $100 and time by learning nothing new and that our trial exams are just over exaggerated.

Yeah they're really annoying like this. The only positive thing about them is that the resemble SACs, so i found them good practice for that.

From the stats you wouldve gotten grades of B+ for exam 1, and b+ for exam 2. If you have decent sacs you would be looking at getting something in the mid 30s.

Surds are irrational numbers, meaning they can't be expressed in fraction form. So 6root(3)/5 would have an infinite number of decimal places and 32151/65651 is only an approximation, not an exact answer. So always leave things in square root form...

I don't believe it's an approximation....the values aren't close at all.

She said "like it that allowd, if they equaled the same number?" - it was just an example.

There's no way that you can have a surd that is equal to a fraction, because surds are irrational, you can't express them in the form

But I don't think that it's something you would have to worry about because I personally don't see how you will get an approximation like that, generally you will be either having things in exact form or in decimals, unless someone can shine a light on as to how you would get a weird approximation like that, I don't really see it as an issue

I've found another potentially annoying exam. Try the VCAA 2004 Exam 2 Pilot study exam. I just did it and it's not too bad, but he whole time it had me wondering if i was doing it correct or if i was completely failing it.
