Yeah ok, I did something similar...But I was confused abut the effect taking money out would have.
I ended up with 43000 I think. Anyone else get that?

yeah i got 43300

 

[mickii mickii]

What did you guys get for the decagon question?

492.4 i think

Anybody else ready to find out they've failed to get at least even a band 3? TwT

At this point getting a band 3 will be a miracle for me

I've held my puke in this time.

This really contradicts how things will get easier due to covid

For some reason I could not derive that formula for the Perimeter question.... How was this done??

I had to think about it for a while but you had to divide the perimeter by ten to find the length of one side of the triangles, then to find the angle on the inside divide 360 by ten then just use trig to find the other sides and then the area of the triangle then multiply it by ten because theres ten triangles.

Yeah thats what I did too, thank god i at least got that right xD.... but I was talking about the other one about the garden bed

Oh for that one I think I just got the x value when the area was greatest on the graph and substituted it in to the 2y+2x=900 or whatever that equation was.

Why is everyone in the HSC discussion group complaining about it and writing long emails to NESA about this exam?

Because the common questions were way to hard for the standard course. I personally found the decagon and cricket questions fine but the other ones were not good.

They have a common component now?

waittttt what were the other common questions?

I didn't come across anything based on content not covered in standard. It just required a level of problem solving which I haven't really seen in a standard paper before.

I'm not sure for this exam but about 20% are common. It's not algebra or anything.

 

[mmmm.]

waittttt what were the other common questions?

There may be more, but i know that the cricket and decagon questions were common

 

[Mazar97]

waittttt what were the other common questions?

23 marks worth of questions were common. Nearly quarter of the paper

its mainly because we had similar questions as the adv students, which teachers had not rlly set us for and past papers were no help. This is the reason according to me and some of my friends.
