With regards to the Methods score change I heard that they aren't taking marks off ie. being out of 74 instead of 80 but instead giving marks for the question based on the percentage the person got on the rest of the exam. so if the person got every other question right then they would get 6 extra marks or something along those lines.

Yup, that's right; this was discussed in another thread.

except this change only refers to the 4 mark part.

pshh I don't see why any school would choose to use the stupid classpad over the (generally) more reliable and capable Texas Instruments calculators.

Because old annoying teachers are moronic enough to believe that a larger screen equates to a better device, and the fact that the ClassPad does not make you specify the variable for solving (by put in a ',x' at the end) makes it a superior piece of technology.

but didnt your result for the first question effect the answer of q2?

Yeah, I don't know how VCAA decided people were not affected for the second part.

I still think they are the devil and talk shit.

I;ve spoken to people who had the classpad and solved it perfectly,


so i have no sympathy for those that couldn't get the question with the classpad

and absolutley none for those who had the inspire and could still not get it .

We still got shafted.  And then shafted again for not spending time on other questions.

Yeah, I used the classpad and I got the correct answer. All I did was rearrange the expression a little, and the classpad solved it without any difficulty.

The fact that people are getting any marks for this question is so annoying. xD. My study score will decrease by a further 2, after getting owned by the Cone of Death question. Haha.
