i got 18-7.5 which equals 10.5, so i dnooo

Awkward I got 9 haha

For 28ai) i got P=a/V
Did anyone else get this?

Yep I got that.

For the ellipse tank question, did you have to convert the dimensions of everything to cm first and then work out the length, or did you work out the length in m then convert it to cm? Because they have different answers.

band 6 cut off? estimates?

band 6 cut off? estimates?

No idea - maybe a little lower than last year though?

The paper was ok, although reading through this thread I can see I probably made a few little errors that will cost me dearly .....

Didn't even consider this, anyone have any input for this Q I'm curious

These are the answers that I got. All the teachers in the math staffroom did the paper afterwards also and they got the exact same:
1) D
2) A
3) B
4) C
5) B
6) D
7) B
8) D
9) C
10) C
11) B
12) A
13) A
14) B
15) B
16) D
17) C
18) A
19) D
20) C
21) A
22) A

I wrote down my answers to the questions as I went through so my teacher could mark it afterwards. Ended up with a 95 raw, I hope that aligns into a band 6 (someone was saying that 6 is usually 95+ ).

According to your answers i only got 2 wrong, question 6 and 8, which i left to the end, ran our of time and just circled anything without looking at the question again Anyways, 20/22 im happy

i don't understand how you guys got 9 haha please explain
because there are 30 scores right, and the 15th and 16th numbers form the median, so the median is 11, which leaves 14 on each side, and then the 7th and 8th numbers from the median make Q1 and Q3 which are (7 and 8) and (18 and 18) so yeahhh, im just confused!

it asked for FEMALE students only.

 

[Effekt]

So what was the answer? apparently i got it wrong i did
109 + 160 = 269
shortest distance = 360 - 269
= 91
Then

It was females only, not the whole stem and leaf plot

omggggggggggggggggggg can't believe i didn't read it properly fml, thank god its only 1 mark

 

[JimmyMack]

So what was the answer? apparently i got it wrong i did
109 + 160 = 269
shortest distance = 360 - 269
= 91
Then

who said it was wrong? i got the same answer aswell, i hope its right.

 

[JimmyMack]

what did u guys get for Q25 a? I gave my answers but didnt know if wat i was talking about was correct

 

[engie_benji]

So what was the answer? apparently i got it wrong i did
109 + 160 = 269
shortest distance = 360 - 269
= 91
Then

This is definitely right. I knew it as soon as i left the exam room. Did it on maths online and all. I think you would still get one mark though, if u didnt do this, right?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. Can't believe i got it right xD
