Exam 2 hard?

[Timmage]

Personally, i think this exam was harder than previous exams... would you agree?

[99.96]

yep, i would have rather have done both the 2010 and 2009 exam in the same time

[Timmage]

i actually prefer harder exams tho so i was happy 

[michaelguo]

Definitely was harder.

[some dude]

tbh i think it was harder but at the same time,
it was an advantage to most methods students. last question of trig aswell as the last for graphs would be a breeze!...well maybe not a breeze but definetley not as hard as any methods questions

More challenging exam, but I actually did better than the others

yeah i do methods so i felt it gave me a good advantage... talked to everyone else and they had no idea for the last graphs and relations question

this exam was harder, i think there wasn't enough time for it

Yep, I think it was harder in terms of length.

[nemolala]

too long man

[Natters]

i finished it with 30 minutes to go
that said, i didnt do basic addition and didnt read the questions properly

[Tomanomanous]

For that angle question where we had to prove POQ or something was 45 degrees, was it ok if I did this? (I only learned today that octagons and such are 360 degrees - stupid me)

I drew on my methods knowledge of the unit circle:

2Pi = 360°

I realised there is 8 'slices' or triangles which could be made in the octagon.

2Pi/8 = Pi/4 = 45°

Will I still get marks for that if I used that method and got the right answer?

[Natters]

well ur using radians which isnt on the further course
but you did do the 360/8=45 thing which is what was needed

[Tomanomanous]

Ahhk. That's cool then. I just got a bit worried, because I think better in radians with those sort of things x.x Ahaha
