I think I lost 1 mark.

The minimum questions what was it out of? 3?

I showed for it to be a minimum dA/dx = 0 - 1 mark for methods :)
And then I did a stupid arithmetic/expansion error somewhere, which consequently led to my other - so I get 1 out of 2? or 0 out of 2?

That's the only place I think I lost my mark,
2008 ENTER = 97.90

Did anyone else get a memo from vcaa mid way through the exam in regards to question 1b? Damn examiner interrupted the exam and we didn't get extra time
What was it about? They didn't interrupt us :S

I think I did well on the exam. At least it wasn't as hard as the spec exam 1! I'll have to check with the solutions, but I think I lost about 2-3 marks! :)

It was to clarify the question and what they were asking. It was exactly the same as what was on the paper. My methods teacher reckons they might dis-regard that question and make the exam out of 39.

Why would they dis-regard that question?

I'm annoyed how I stuffed up the domain of the hybrid function.
I noted the modulus' domain in reading time but didn't state the domain doesn't exist at (I think it was x=3) at that point.
So..
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Oh and I'm not sure if I wrote .336 or .366 for the Cino/Dandy cinema one.
I'm not pleased.

I got (-2x) / (2x+1) for the very last question. I was soo happy when it actually worked out into the form they gave. Someone earlier posted that it was just (2x) on top, but (1-(2x+1)) is equal to -2x, well that's what i got anyways. I screwed up the question asking for the mode lol. I don't even know what that means, well i do now haha. I wrote 2 ><

Don't know but our teacher reckons if vcaa felt the need to clarify the question they might dis-regard it because not everyone would have got the memo
