Exam 2

[meefz]

Hey dudes and dudettes,
as exam 1 is over the only thing we can do is focus on exam 2 and hopefully kill it.  :knuppel2: :knuppel2: :knuppel2:
Sooooo what do you thinks gonna be on exam 2 for your chosen modules??

Well I'm going to go through my booklet later and say what has been blatentely left off, I'm fearing contour maps and a little bit more bearings.

Also I think some good old transition matricies, some smoothing, perhaps some residual and prediction work.

And for linear I'm not quite sure, but perhaps break even analysis, and I'll work on my sliding ruler method and objective functions.

[onerealsmartass]

highly likely for a long linear programming question - which will be realtively time consuming 7-9 marks?
matirces... hopefully just plain transition matrices
geo and trig - bearings and contours

tricker and more deceptive business qs as all of exam 1s were quite straightforward. maybe something on effective interest rate, and there has to be some form of two part annuities question surely. maybe a harder hire purchase question too..
core - perhaps a harder deseasonalisation question? i'm not sure what to expect for core
geom trig - more scale ratios, possibly contour maps i suppose, a harder bearings question.. i reckon a hard surface area question.
matrices - they'll either make it really easy and we'll be like whuuut, or it'll be hard. possibly some tricky inverse type questions, or tricky transition ones, things where you have to work backwards, or rearrange equations, that sort of thing

i'm yet to do an exam 2 after an exam 1 for practice where i didn't feel they were of similar difficulties - so i don't think it'll be anything out of the ordinary. should definitely be manageable

Hmm, anyone have any thoughts on the possibility of a long annoying complicated critical path type network/crashing/connect new line type of thing appearing? It was on last years...

[xoxogossipgirl]

i don't do networks - but from what i've heard it is not uncommon for them to repeat concepts that were performed poorly the year before.
so if in doubt, assume yes
