Thats really in the eye of the beholder.

It was a bit too calculator reliant. Rushed the MC so don't know whether I made weird silly mistakes. Also would've liked more mechanics. Overall I think the length makes it a bit harder than last year. I think it is more difficult to get full marks as a result. I know a few smart kids who had to guess a couple of MCs at the end so...

[THem]

quite a few mhs kids thought it was harder than last yr...hopefully A+ cutoff low-mid 60s

I hope so , that would be mad.

Yeah I got owned in MC. Made a few guesses just to realise on the way out that they were wrong :[

Yes I had trouble on the last question as well for a while. To do the last question using the solve function on the calculator you needed to restrict the domain of t when solving the equation in solve. e.g. 200 < t < 300 because you know t will be around 200-300 seconds. If you don't do this, it will only find solutions of t close to 0 (t = -3.10...) and will tell you "Warning: more solutions may exist". This is because it cannot search for all solutions from -infinity to +infinity values of t.

[NE2000]

Yeah when I got that I just decided to graph it and find the intersection using that

[sachinmachin]

will i get method marks, for using that value of t=3.11(for some stupid reason) and then using pythag to find the side??

does any know the A + cut off last year?

[sam5454]

Last year the A+ cut off was 66/80
I suggest it will be probably be about 67-68 this year in my opinion
Here is the grade distribution for last year : http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vcaa/vce/statistics/2008/section3/vce_specialist_maths_ga08.pdf

[rhjc.1991]

Damn it I think  I got about 70-72, there goes 40+...

[YT_17]

Sorry can i ask that what grade do u need to get ......in order to get around low 30

It would depend on how you went in sacs and also in exam 1 as these could adversely affect your study score if they were much different relative to your score in exam 2 but I would suggest you would be aiming for a mid-range B to get about 31 or 32, so about 45 or so out of 80.

ok thanks ^^
