Possibility for a 40 in exam one.....

[eilatan]

someone please help!

NEAP 07 trial exam 1, question 9...

how do you get from to through division like the NEAP solutions suggest. i get that you have to divide through because the power of x is equal to that of the denominator but when i do it i get what am i doing wrong?

thanks.

p.s. they're supposed to be fractions. not really sure how to type them up. new to this whole forum.

i tend to do that a lot 

Me too, but not in practice exams, in SAC's at school. I got to slow down and think carefully. Every SAC i could get 98%+ easy but drops to 90% because of small stupid errors. I need more practice!

[Tea.bag]

when i did it, i used the division of polynomials method...(to eilatan)
ill let someone else to explain cause im not very familiar with latext 

[eilatan]

i'm going to sound really stupid here but is that long division?

[eilatan]

ahhh...i get it now. thanks for that.

I average 35 mins for exam 1's and make a silly mistake so i always get bout 38/40. Ive done two exam 2's and finished them with like 10 mins left getting about 70/80 but i did the easy companies...scared to try a neap l0lz

i found neap kinda like really easy questions then really OUT THERE questions. no happy medium lol.

Then just don't give them any chance to even take marks off. Simple. SM will never have what happened to methods two years ago anyway where they began deducting marks for stupid things because too many people got full marks.

did this really happen?!! stupid things like what?

From what I know, things like wonky parabolas, labelling intercepts as just a single number next to it, rather than coordinate form (yes, stupid I know...It's an internationally accepted convention but pfft, dicks to VCAA) and I assume they got tighter on notation since many people in the state probably can't do proper notation, and maybe even working out.

They're well within their rights to do all that? And last year's assessors' report says they're going to get EVEN tougher this year.

He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.

He believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning——

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
