    Help me with this question?

    Hi everyone this question came to came in our half yearly paper and it kinda hurt me with the wording of the question: (c) Let y = (4-x)^2 be a function of g(x) (i) Find the domain where the function g(x) is monotonic increasing (ii) State the inverse function over this domain (iii)...

    Is my physics exam unfair?

    What's 'unfair' in memorising essays? The marking criteria is based on how well you answer the question in the exam, not how well you answer the question in your prepared essay...

    Is my physics exam unfair?

    imho, this is a massive disadvantage. But I will move on.

    Is my physics exam unfair?

    I think you are wrong. It really came down to whoever practiced the same hsc questions that appeared in the paper, not the ones who had practiced the most questions necessarily. Also, although the people who knew the concepts the best were capable of answering the question, that does not mean...

    Is my physics exam unfair?

    You are right in that sense, however, it would be a roll of a die to know whether the student is doing past paper hsc questions as study, or past hsc questions from other schools. If the die rolls in favour of past hsc questions, how is it any fair to the student who was doing the hsc questions...

    Is my physics exam unfair?

    I agree. Although to some extent the use of past paper questions reward people who have bothered to study, the point is to differentiate the intelligent students from the stupid ones. If this year's paper was an compilation of previous papers, by all means, anyone can get full marks, even an...

    Is my physics exam unfair?

    But what if they got all of the questions wrong and blindly remembered the answer? If they answer the question right the second time, and do not know have any clue what they are saying, is it really fair?

    Is my physics exam unfair?

    Do you think it would be fair if the HSC Physics exam 2013 is a collection of past paper questions? My point is, although these resources are available, they are not the only resources. Questions can appear from any school paper, but this is just past hsc exams. How is the paper any original to...

    Is my physics exam unfair?

    Hello everyone I am very curious if the teacher is allowed to put several hsc past paper questions in a physics exam. Some people in my school have done all of them and knew the answers the whole time, providing model responses. Other people and myself haven't been exposed to as many as them. Is...
