lowkey not a fan of that calculator its not that user friendly I just use it for exact form and complex numbers in 4U, but just keep trying it for ur questions so you get used to it. It won't take too long and isn't too bad for basic calculations, main annoying thing is having to change it to decimals each time

Bro I'm in standard It feels too smart for me

Guys wth is the Casio fx-8200 au calculator just got one and this is so damn cool but also so confusing to use

Side note: $50 for a calculator is stretching it

I got it too. I hate it lol. its so complex and i cant even figure out how to get degrees, minutes seconds on it (I do standard too)

Paper 2 slayyyyeddd Mod C worked great for my piece I did like go back to basics with aristotle then compared to Taylor Swift haha. Mod B was nice typical textual integrity question worked for my generic. Mod a prob the worst like annoying it was more asking about the older text but still did decent.

what order did people do I did C B A

it feel smart for me too i know it has some uses that could help but its way too convoluted to get there. if you explore it a bit and figure the basics out, you'll get it

How are people's invigilators?
Mine are absolutely lovely ngl and they're less strict than my teachers were during trials which is a surprise
They're literally making my hsc experience

A lot nicer than the teachers, but she got mad at us today because she was bombarded with people complaining about not getting 10 minutes of reading time. Which we didn't, I should note, her justification was that because we spent so long going through the exam questions that it counted as reading time, so we only got 5 minutes of reading time yesterday rather than 10.

oh I have that one, it's so good. Yk if you switch modes ad go to the data one, and then when u input values for x and y, press ok. Then all the mean, sd and etc are all in one page. I think in other calculator you have to press bunch of stuff

shift then plus ur answer and it should appear in degrees, seconds. so much more convoluted than the fx 82 AU plus,, i just shift between the two depending on use

I kinda wish the Mod C was on nature, would've been so good. The stimulus today was alright, but nature would've been better.

I found tech to be better personally I mean its affect on efficiency and the boost in productivity allowing for all things to process seamlessly on singular devices, it takes away from social interaction, stress inducing, cyber-bullying, takes away the pleasure and experience of studying due to chatgpt and ai like that

I loved it
