[paulsterio]

for the last part of the last question, i had about 2-3 mins remaining in the exam, and stressing from time pressure, instead of doing

int(0,10) of input rate dt - x(10)

i did

int(0,10) of x(t) dt - x(10)

would i get 1/2 for that? any ideas anyone?

Mm I don't think so Paul.. Neither answer nor method mark..

[paulsterio]

damnnn, oh well, i guess 76/80 it is

I forgot to write grams for the final question, lose one mark for that?

thats a tough one.. im not sure.. it says 'giving your answer in grams'. so they might assume that whatever you write is in grams, or they might expect you to write it.. I dont know?

[nubs]

oh it does too, so maybe I will get lucky!
As far as I can tell, I dropped one mark in multiple choice, so hopefully I'll get 79/80, I can't remember much of what I wrote down for exam 1, but say if I got 35/40 at the very least, and 38/40 at the very most, what type of study score would I be looking at if I was number 1 rank by a mile in an avg cohort of 5?

[blurf]

I specifically DIDN'T write grams because I didn't want them to confuse my 'g' with a 9.8.
Also the assessor had just said pens down. So that was annoying.

ah abes your solutions made my day

wait what do you mean by average cohort of 5?

ah abes your solutions made my day

ahhh eman

[nubs]

I mean there are 5 people in my class and we're average in the sense that we're probably not as strong as the cohort at melbourne high or scotch college lol
and also, instead of a minimum of 35/40 I'm thinking it could be as low as 33 :/

oh and thanks for the exam solutions btw

if you get 35/40 and 79/80, you should be scoring very highly the strength of your cohort doesnt matter if you're 1st. maybe 44-45?

and nps for the sols
