I may well eat my words but I felt really good about how I did in our ext. 1 exam. It was pretty easy and I finished with 20 minutes to spare (out of 60 mins) so I'll be pretty dissapointed if I've made any stupid mistakes given that I got to look through the paper twice over and smooth out any wrinkles. Come what may.

Good luck with that. If you find maths interesting, then I think you'll do well.

Ours turned out sooooo much softer than I'd expected! Peculiarly, I was more anxious going into this one than my Ext 2 exam but it shaped up to be a snack by comparison! 2 hrs long and finished with about 40 mins up my sleeve. I was all about the speed this time, so I hope I didn't drop too many marks on silly mistakes... :p I'll post the result when it comes in ;)

3U - 99%... Pretty fluid. I hope I can keep this rhythm up through to the trials and the big one! (Dropped half a mark on not whacking a constant into one of my integrals! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!)

Well, I got full marks for the complex numbers proof of the expansion of cos3A... since it didn't specify which method to use. Wasn't as high as I'd have liked.

Just what i had feared... the exam was super long.. and I am super slow at 3 unit exams... the exam was one of the easiest exams.. i almost knew how to answer everything if not everything.. but i didn't even get the chance to complete 70% of questions... I practriced past H.S.C's and well i found my exam to be way longer.. only if there was no time limit... but unfortunately there is...

I guess that means more practice for me... My brain just doesn't think fast enough... but i must adnit it was a good exam... and the worst thing happened

Circle geometry is my favourite topic... it's my best topic also... but the questions were misprinted or something.. and so 8 marks of the exam was canceled and i know i could've obtained those 8 marks had there not been an error in the questions... oh well... i guess that's life at least now i know... i gotta work on my speed to the max in preperation for my next assessment

yea,
done mine, got results back..

3unit test was so hard, but i like that, because with the easy tests, all the international students in my school get 100% because they dont make any mistakes :|

i got 89% for 3u (74.5/84)
it was ok, not sure if i came first though, until all the papers that had been added up so far i was.

4u was 85% (51/60)? i think it was out of 60...
and i was 3rd (yay beat most of the international students)

n 2u was 97% (70/72) i came first what a waste though, when it doesnt go towards anything.
