VCE Maths Methods Exam 1 Discussion and Solutions

Did you happen to know your mark on exam 2

[Pinkydoo]

Definitely!
I was in the same boat as you and did horribly on exam 1 (lost about 17 marks) but somehow managed to scrape an A+ on exam 2 and get a 38

And your SAC average lol

[imactuallyalegend]

I'm not too sure on my mark but I think i got around 70.
My SAC average was shit but I got a B+ for my SACS. My cohort was pretty strong (like 25 40+ students)
Just have faith and kill the exam tomorrow!

You give me hope, thanks

After consistently getting mid 30-s on practice exams, I completely stuffed this exam.
I panicked and I think I'm honestly looking at a 25/40.
I'm so upset I worked so hard for methods and it's been worth literally nothing.
Do I have any shot at a 38 at this point?
I have upper quartile sacs in a strong cohort.
Generally exam 2 is way better than exam 1 for me but I'm just crushed rn

I know the feeling bro, it sucks

38 raw or scaled?
I'm rank 1 (86% av) in my cohort, but lost around 10 marks on exam 1 (hoping for at least 60/80 for exam 1). I'm hoping I can still get 35 raw after I do my best on exam 2.

raw dude
You can definitely get a 35 but you might want to aim for around 65+

Here is Exam 1 formatted correctly.
It is too large to attach, so https://www.dropbox.com/s/o9xhe4ayo6cmk81/Methods%20exam%20VCAA%202017%20paper%201.pdf?dl=0

Did anyone fuck exam 1 and did well today? Because I didn't, now officially the 40+ dream was over.

It's funny how I feel right now, especially given how upset I was over English. I'm literally laughing at how shit I did in both exams when I was aiming for 43+, now I'm looking at 33.
