would full marks be awarded if 8pi/15 was written as a decimal ?? to two decimal places ??

If the question doesn't tell you how to leave your answer you should always leave it in exact form so you'll probably lose a mark if that was your final answer

just had a look at the exam, it looks fair tbh, good to separate the top students from the mid tier ones, although some mark allocation seemed a bit weird lol

Looking at the exam again - think Probability and Q2 (In regards to the graph) - i think that is where most of my marks will come from :)

For question 3b, where you need to calculate if she'll get questions 3,4,5 correct - statement said question 1 was incorrect, but I wrote down it was correct. If all else was correct (method), will I get 2/3? (i.e I went C -> C C C C etc. instead of I first)

Secondly, the next question asks for question 25 correct - I put initial state as 1,0 because I thought question 1 was correct - will this be consequential off the previous question?

Hope I can get 25 SS :'(

i actually thought that this was on par with vcaas past? their didnt seem to be one death question, but in face the final question of each was tricky, but im happy because i finished in time (just) despite the fact that i had to brutally shrug away the examiner as i wrote my final answer.

Doing it, up to Q3 Ext (doing ER first), somewhat challenging so far. Will watch The Project, brb.

cant say the exam is hard
maybe struggle for time - altho im not having that problem so far. ER questions are of same quality as 2011 if not easier.
MC are harder
2010: Chinese SL (36 ---> 45.6), Accounting (48 ---> 48.4)
2011: English (47), Methods (50), Spesh (43 ----> 52.7), Chemistry (48 ----> 49.3), Physics (38)
ATAR: 99.90
2011 UMAT:
S1:[105] S2:[45] S3:[90] Overall:[80] Percentile: 100th

Need chem/methods tutoring?
I'm offering it based predominantly in the south-eastern suburbs (Caulfield-ish) - PM me.

Just finished. Made me think a bit. Good quality paper. On the harder side though I'd say.

Yeah i think MC is tough, and ER is not hard, but long. Time constraints were the biggest issue i feel, that's why at the top end i think a+ cut may stay steady. If this is the case dropping 2 may no longer be a 50 :/
