is 2010 going to be a hard exam?

[Martoman]

Really......matrices is gonna be hard.....lol thats pretty bad luck

matrices will be the easiest you cant really make exam 1 of matrices that hard if you know content.
what is hard bout matrices half of the matrices module if adding, subtracting and multiplying matrices.

Unless they make a kilbaha neap hybrid where the majority is understanding questions

[kenhung123]

if they add neap matrices type questions then gl to us all

Just did 2008, it had a couple of tricks in there, unlike 2007 which had pretty much none.
Hmm 2009 will seee, not sure what else they could ask that hasn't appeared already in the other VCAA papers o-o

every year, there's always a question that has not been on the paper before.

looks like you were right

[Robbey]

we got the unlucky year...

so it was a hard exam, for some of you it may not be hard but for others it was much harder then 2007,2009 etc. so its true, every even year (2004,2006,2008,2010) they bring out a hard exam and every odd year (2005,2007,2009) they bring out an easy exam.

if you don't believe me just go on the vcaa website and look at the exam averages, 2006 (low average;hard exam) 2007 (high average; easy exam) 2008 (low average; hard exam) 2009 (low average; easy exam)

i somewhat agree, 2009 and 2007 were very easy and i got close to full marks on both,
then on 2008 and 2006 i lost a few marks as they were difficult but usually it was on exam 2, and that has happened yet so a little afraid haha
