Secondary Maths Methods VCE Exams

[mushda]

Well judging by the single page response to the english thread there don't seem to be too many year 12s about, but if anyone else is doing methods feel free to discuss here.

Had my VCE exam debut today with the short answer paper and found it pretty good, but frustratingly dropped a few easy marks. Hoping a 36/37 will be enough for an A+.

Same deal here, I'll probably get 36 or 37. What did you think of exam 2?

I thought exam two was alright, maybe a little easier than the last two years but not to the extent of 2006. I had a bit of trouble with the Tasmania Jones question at first but I got it alright in the end.

If my memory is correct I probably dropped about another 3 or 4 marks, pretty happy with that.

If you only dropped 3 or 4 marks on exam 2, that is a great effort. Dropping 7 or so marks across both papers (ie. an overall score of around 113/120) should get you around 45, I would think (assuming you have good SAC scores). I reckon I dropped about 6 marks on exam 2 - 1 multi choice and the rest were all on probability.

i think i only dropped about 2 or 3 marks on the first exam
and not to sure about the second i knew i got the last question wrong i had 3root(t) + 14 - t =14 which didn't work out
think i might have lost about 7 or 8 marks hoping for about 38 39 study score

That Tasmania Jones question had elements of spesh in it... which is really unlucky for people who didn't do spesh
