Too many algorithms based ones. Can be good or bad depending on you.

Too many algorithms based ones.

+1 agreed. Some of the algorithms took me so long to figure out. They really slowed me down and led to me not finishing the test.


Q32 option topic was pretty easy though.

 

[Cyberbully]

also, WHERE WAS THE FISH

 

[GoldyOrNugget]

Fucking BRILLIANT exam. Good on ya BOS. THAT is what SDD should be about.

 

[jackss]

That was bloody hard as far as software exams go

Was nice to have quite a bit of problem solving but took like 5 minutes just to actually read a 4 mark algorithm question...

not fish?

die please.

not fish?

die please.

or frog.

sucks when ive been using 1st edition pretty much and made up crap for the cloud computing question >.>
too many algorithms
storyboard drawing was fun

 

[funnyday]

For me all the short responses were damn easy except algorithms which I took too long to figure out.. Hardware option was really straight foward as well.
Overall I thought it was a pretty good exam, nothing I haven't come across before.

 

[cosrob97]

Fucking hard as hell. WHy did they put so many in!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BlakeOlivo]

Never have I written so many algorithms in my life! NEVER AGAIN Although, it was a hard test...or maybe I really couldn't give a crap about SDD, but yea! Glad its over

Gg easiest exam I've done all year for software.

 

[shanegale]

answers for MC pls

I thought it was a very long exam in comparison to past years. Most of the theory was tested in the multiple choice, with way too many algorithms in the short answers. I was happy with the option topic (Q32) and hope they'll be quite generous with some of those 4 markers!

Enjoyed it, thought I did pretty good. So many algorithms haha, I like them but I know people who hate them. I think overall it was far harder than the past five years just because of algorithms. Expecting the majority of the state to do poorly and for SDD to align very well this year.

Loved this years exam! I thought it was a good mix of theory, algorithms & system modelling tools this year and I found the option topic (The Interrelationship Between Hardware & Software) fairly straightforward.

And I didn't see any fish this year.



How did you all go for time management? It took me a bit longer than previous years but I still had about 15 mins of checking time.

I'm very happy to end the HSC with this exam.

Finished in the end with about 15 minutes to go as well. But people I know who do reasonably well just finished in time though.
