What to expect on Exam 2?

[AngelWings]

What should I expect in terms of difficulty with the questions on exam 2. Roughly how tricky are they compared to exam 1? I did well on exam 1 (compared to my teachers answers) but now I'm stressing that I won't be able to do the same on exam 2, since I'm more prone to making silly mistakes...

Difficulty should be roughly the same as the sample exam and VCAA exams (probably leaning more towards 2016 VCAA exam, due to the change in study design).
Don't worry so much about difficulty and just make sure you know how to do all the questions with as few mistakes as possible. Log any you do make into your bound reference. You'll have it handy when something similar comes up!

Cant tell. What I can say is that you need to make sure you have 100% clarity on the question before answering. A LOT of further maths marks are lost via oversighting or by sneaky tricks VCAA does. Anyone can get 100%, the content isn’t hard. Have your wits about you and you’ll do well

Hey, I was just wondering if someone could help me on how I would go about this question (geometry and measurement)!

'Two similar cones of radius 4 cm and r cm (smaller than the first) are shown below.
The volume of the larger cone is three times the volume of the smaller cone.
The value of r is closest to...'
Options are 0.8 (A), 1.9 (B), 2.1 (C), 2.5 (D), and 2.8 (E).

Thankyou in advance!!
