waat about th next best thing? what paper have u seen that will be most relevant to the actual one of this years

Ahmad:

--- Quote from: "JL_91" ---most TSFX extended response questions are ridiculous. i doubt VCAA would give us anything like that. check out both 06 TSFX trial exams if you want to see what i mean...even my chem tutor, who got 48 raw in methods, says to them 'for fun' if you have time. one of the questions was based on this: "the Lambert W function is defined to be the inverse of xe^x . It follows from the definition of
the Lambert W function that if a = xe^x , then x = W(a)"
--- End quote ---


The Lambert W function actually crops up a lot! There is no closed form for it, but there's some very good approximation methods. :)

Collin Li:
That question wasn't that ridiculous. I remember it. If you understand your concepts, you can apply them to it.

2happy:
any exams that are relevant??

JL_91:
ahmad - do you mean it comes up in methods??

2happy - regarding trial papers, ive done like 60+, and out of all those i'd say i thought TSSM, Heffernan, Kilbaha and NEAP were very good. TSSM is great for CAS papers, if that's what you're doing. Kilbaha and ITUTE are slightly more difficult. Insight was a bit on the easy side, but still good. and of course, always do the VCAA samples and past papers...just try to encounter a wide variety of question types in your studying, that will help you develop strategies of dealing with each. you never know, you just might get lucky with tomorrow's paper!
