Further Maths (Exam 2): Discussion, Questions & Potential Solutions

Could someone please predict my study score?
SACs: 90%, rank 5-6, weak/moderate cohort
Exam 1: 37/40
Exam2: 55-56/60

39-41

worst possible case 38 (if cohort didn't do well)

For matrices (when you had to write a diagonal matrix), I think I accidently wrote 0.92 for one of the entries, and as a result my 2019 matrix was wrong (the element 3,1 had decreased by 8% rather 2%...because my diagonal matrix was dependent on part a, could I still get a consequential mark? (

Your question was answered on the other thread, please don’t spam and be patient.
Also, please, turn that caps lock button off.

sorry, I am a new user of atar notes. I don't know how to check replies properly. Can you kindly review my ss?

Hey guys,
I have averaged about 85% in my sac scores, weak cohort so I'm near the top.
I bombed exam 1 and got 28/40 and got 56/60 for exam 2.
Is it still possible to get a mid 30s ss or am i f**cked.
Thanks bois.

31-33

For the Sydney and Melbourne question where you had to compare which one was higher, if you include writing the slope and how Sydney had a higher one, but also including in that question for more information to why Sydney was higher, I added the mean for both of the data values. Would my answer still be counted as correct even though I added something which was not needed?

State slope of and its yearly increase per unit (whatever that was) for both (1 mark)

Write a conclusion...was it greater? Then: Therefore... (1 mark)

Or the other way around

(pretty sure that is how marks are arranged)

You can include intercept of 2008 values just to be safe (now that i think it again: since it said "since 2008" sydney will always exceed melbourne...why?" basically it is already referring to its intercept, so most likely (90% likely) you don't no need to state intercept value and just the slope. Overkill other wise)

You may be penalised for answering with incorrect/irrelevant information. Really comes down to the examiner though.

'When descriptive answers are required to a question, brevity is encouraged in the response. Some
students correctly answered a question and then added extra irrelevant information. However, this
extra information cannot be awarded extra marks and, if it is incorrect, can lead to marks not being
awarded.'

Can anybody plz assure the answers for the last 2 questions from graphs and relation plz?

Oh okay. Because I answered the question they asked me, such as show statistical information and also a conclusion, so it may just depend on what the examiner thinks is best

In my opinion, you should get the mark if your calculated mean isn't incorrect. I hope they aren't too harsh on you

Hey guys
I averaged 60% on my 3 further sacs this year, with a high A (85%) on my last one (4 in total)
In Exam 1 I got 30/40
and for Exam 2 I most likely got 45/60

What do you reckon my study score will be? My tutor reckons atleast 30-33 since my schools SACs are way too hard, and my cohort performs well.

Thanks in advance
