Exam 1 Thoughts ~!

[hyperblade01]

Go!


EDIT: Nothing too difficult I reckon, there was no need for a ruler :O

2nd EDIT: I forgot to say that they made a good choice with the colour of the paper this year as well (Y)

it was of a good standard, did anyone get -2 + 2ln3 for the area?

[almostatrap]

it was pretty easy i think. do you lose marks for not simplifying ?

[RexPP]

Could have done better, could have done worse. Missed out on the first and fourth questions (particularly annoyed about the first one as it seems so straightforward now), however I feel reasonably confident about the rest of the exam. Probably looking at 30-33/40.

[avram_grant]

nah, so long as it was in exact form, you wont lose marks - the didnt specify what specific form beyond exact

yeah i think so

[kurrymuncher]

lol wtf was that

was expecting  some kind of crazy vector proof, but it turned out to be just calculus

[avram_grant]

sweet, because the first time i integrated i got zero and was about to have a nervous breakdown

Let's just assume it'll be put in exam 2?

yeah we're all thrilled that this 'easy' stuff such as graphing, vectors and proofs wasnt on Exam 1... wait until Exam 2. Either way this exam wasnt too difficult though it was harder than last years, also the constant need to integrate large equations was getting really irritating as it appeared at least 4 times on the exam.... the lack of a lengthy complex numbers question was also surprising.

I got 3ln(3)-2

What? Last year's was way harder!

[avram_grant]

3ln(3) - 2 is negative though

nah no way man, this one was way longer, last years was straight forward... dont get me wrong, this one was as well, however this one required more time, much more time.

I got 3ln(3)-2

I got |3loge(3)-2| :| dam, anyone got the paper?
wasnt sure if 3ln(3) was > 2 = x
