I thought multiple choice was pretty good this year!!! I had a hard time with question 9, and did alot of substitution and fiddling around. For the locus, i got it as a circle?

Oh no i got parabola :0

[RuiAce]

Maybe i assumed they were isosceles or something that they said prove and i wrote "assuming ----" then proved it

You were meant to assume that as well lol

Edit: Well, maybe assume is a bad word. But it's a one line proof to show that they're isosceles triangles due to all the equal sides they give you.

last years raw for band 6 was 82

Well in that case this year might go down to 81 (or with enough luck 80)

Same

If this is the multiple choice question I think the locus is a straight line.

"always equidistant from two fixed points"

[lcamilleri.53]

With that locus multiple choice I had circle and changed to straight line. I pretty sure the answer is circle

[JoyMaalouf]

is all I have to say

Yay yay yay

Yeah i think it was a straight line too. Far out, i put circle LOL

Well that's not too bad I guess, I'd be pretty happy with an 81, I think even going off the 82 of last year I'm feeling comfortable with that for a band 6, I'll be the bottom of the barrel but I'm cool with that

[RuiAce]

Rip sorry to break it to you guys

Fixed distance from one single point - circle
Equidistant from two points - straight line
Equidistant from point and line - parabola

Well that's not too bad I guess, I'd be pretty happy with an 81, I think even going off the 82 of last year I'm feeling comfortable with that for a band 6, I'll be the bottom of the barrel but I'm cool with that

Well a band 6 is a band 6. Here's to hoping alignment will stay fair

[banway]

Yeah I ended up answering that it was a straight line. All the rest either used a point and a line, or a point and the other point wasn't fixed. So I said Straight line

Far out I changed my answer from straight line to circle :/

I should’ve drawn it out or something. Because i basically visualised the whole thing in my mind and who even knows what graph i concocted 😂😂😂
