Discussion and Suggested Solutions - General Maths 2017

Pretty sure its C.

30.50m = 3050cm
To the nearest cm, so 3049.5-3050.5
Lowest limit is 3049.5cm
3049.5 / 100 = 30.495m

I'm pretty sure 21 is C, is that a typo?

i think it is C = 30.495m... D was 30.499m.... the solutions on here say D....??

Thanks for the heads up guys, my working matched C but I wrote D -> Fixed now!

Best case scenario I’m looking at 88/100 which will hopefully scale to above 90?? My rank is 3rd in my grade but my cohort doesn’t perform the best in gen math 😩

I reckon that will indeed align to 90+! Provided a handful of you perform well I think you'll be happy with your results

My best case scenario is 84 :/ and I'm roughly 12/60... is band 6 even achievable with this?

Definitely! If you've got a reasonably strong cohort then it is still a possibility

jamon do you think a low 70 high 60 will get a band 5
thanks

Maaaaaybe, but I think that is probably pushing it unfortunately

[huss1235]

sorry i meant a high band 4 like would a 72 can it get a high band 4

Maybe! It's hard to say - But it is best not to worry about it too much for too long and just focus on the rest of your exams moving forward!

Can an 80 align to a 90? More than 30/40 of my cohort will get more than 70 with a majority of them sitting between the high 80s and 90s range.

In the past it appears that 80 aligns to high 80's, not quite 90, but maybe!

Im rank 22/77, but I'm fairly sure I got 87 - 91% depending on how harsh they are at marking. Band 6 possible?

[huss1235]

i am done my exams with maths on my mind let me admit it was an reasonable exam an not that hard but slightly more challenging  or wordy then last year hopefully it aligns well

What do you mean by a high 80? Because I'll be fine with anything above 87 lol
