Mathematical Methods CAS Exam 1 Discussion - How was it??

[thushan]

How was it?

- Difficulties
- Length
- Any...unusual questions?

Guys who did well - nice work! Don't get cocky though, it's only 22%, you still have exam 2.
Guys who didn't do so well, head up. It's only 22% - you can beast the next exam. You can get an A in this exam and still end up with 47-48. Example = Luffy. 

Sticky this mods!

LOL got A for exam 1
A+ exam 2

:C ended up with fucking 41.....
im so jelly thushan 50....

Fairly descent, however, some of the questions were interesting to say the least  . Interesting to see what the A+ cut off will be this year.

i think it was harder than previous years but maybe it was because of exam conditions. I think the cut off will be about 36 maybe.

[kamb0z]

Yeah... harder than previous years in my opinion.

You do have a valid point exam pressure does get to your head a bit. It took me a good 10 minutes after reading time to get in the zone. 36/37 is probably spot on for A+

What did everyone get for the last question?

[Asx4Life]

LAST QUESTION 1 MARK?

FUCK YOU VCAAA, I SPENT LIKE 10 MINUTES ON IT WOOOOOOOOOOOW

SHOULD BE WORTH 6 MARKS

RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

maximal domain question was = gay

absolute value probability function = gay

[dking123]

the answer of the last question please anyone?

[nacho]

This was the first time in all my life, i came out of an exam, knowing i failed. Completely shattered
methods was my top 4, now its going to end up like max 37...

[geoff_821]

goodbye 40 in methods.
so hard.

[nbhindi]

For the last question i can't remember exactly but i believe i subbed in a = watever it said and theta = pi/4.....is that right?? ------> wait.....i think i'm confusing the last question with another one
my answer had a 3 root three in it 

[thushan]

Anyone wanna scan the paper? I can write up solutions!

[4231]

i got 19 + 3√5

Almost everyone found it harder than previous years at our school. Personally I found it was a really good exam. I usually finish with more than half the time left but this time I only haf 5 mins left. There probability question with the absolute function wa particularity annoying and I spent the most time on it since I kept getting probabilities more than I because there wad a lot of fraction work involved. Then afterwards people were telling me I could have just found the area.
I made a lot of careless algebraic mistakes which will probably cost me a couple of marks. Hopefully the A+ cutoff will be lower this year considering most people found it hard.
