Methods Exam 2 - How was it?

[charmanderp]

I don't have a scanner though sorry :/ :/ :/

5 ER qns rather than the usual 5? Hmm...

Oops.

Show that questions are easy to get full marks on but they take quite a bit of doing. Especially the ones on today's paper.

man honestly, it is over. Nothing can be done really, and we can just relax (apart from other 3/4) exams :PP

Personally, I thought it was comparable to 2011 in terms of difficulty. However, it definitely took a lot longer, (I left 4 marks unanswered), and under exam conditions I'm sure I lost a heck of a lot more marks, but in saying that the A+ cutoff won't drop too badly, I'd say A will be 55/80, not sure about A+. Anybody know what 2 A's on the exams and A on SACs would give me?

I'm actually so pleased by the fact that I'll never do maths (apart from that associated with uni chem) ever again that my melancholy towards this exam is outweighed by my excitement haha

you could get mid-high 30 to low 40 probs.

My friend got 3 A's and got 38 raw

I used to love "Show That" questions, until I met VCAA 2012 :/

They either suck complete ass because you can't get them right or they're awesome because you get them right so what you've done before that and the rest of a ER question will be right.  What sucks is when I then used my calculator slightly wrong due to rushing (started losing marks on questions right where I remember doing them and realising I'm running out of time)

9.5 is correct. Disappointed i just assumed to add 12.2 and 8pi/15
Just pigeonholed question as easy in reading time fml

Did the same, fuck

Finished it with 10 minutes spare - Just enough to check MC again
Was quite long I guess the cut-off for a B will be like rediculously low like 30/80.

Hope I didn't do many careless mistakes.

It was 20-12.2 + 8pi/15, right?

Yes

Honestly don't think the exam paper was considerably long, it was probably being under pressure that made it difficult to finish in time. I mean, the first ER was 2 pages I think so it made sense to have a 5th ER.
