Mathematics Extension 1 Predictions/Thoughts (1 Viewer)

[AAArated]

Q14 seems time consuming but 14abc i. all seem doable 14cii seems hard to get full marks but definitely easier than the stats question from 2022

lets be honest here 2023 students have biased opinions notice how all the grads have said 2022 was significantly harder the reason for that is because you guys want better scaling so you are being delusional. HEre I am trying to help you out of your delusion but you are resisting. Stop resisting. IT's ok! Getting a band 5 in X1 maths isnt the end of the world

You also have baised opinion wishing to think that your exam was the hardest

imo i think they will align very similar
2022 had some harder questions such as the binomial, but 2023 had more abstract problems.
An example is even looking at a simple question like 11e. In 2022 11e they told you to use the auxiliary angle, though in 2023 11e they left it as an abstract problem where you could use a variety of methods, however you had to think about what to use.

if u havent even seen the paper at that point, u can fundamentally say that, brooo this grown ass man....

what u are saying makes no sense kid the fact taht he is being delusional has no correlation with me having seen the paper

MCQ was much easier no hard q

i did better in 2022 mc

omfg im done, i thought our generation was gonna do smth good, obv not now

 

[AAArated]

i did better in 2022 mc

oh damn really

 

[raspberriesandpears]

honestly i think it just depended on your strengths
i find it hard to wrap my head around vectors; conversely i find binomial stats relatively simple
so i probably would have done better on 2022
i guess objective difficulty will all come out in the scaling

also carrotsss i reiterate my statement that you are a god amongst men - 66/70 is incredible

on a good note, YEAH carrotss, u better be state ranking

its ok we can all agree 2021 will forever be the easiest from the new syllabus. im not afraid to admit it

 

[Life'sHard]

Someone tldr ext 1 paper thoughts and difficulty comparison to previous years. I cbb going through the paper lol

i got like 55/70 in that and 66/70 in 2020. im all over the place

people think its harder than 2022 when its a bit dubious whether thats true. this years exam way more 'abstract' apparantly which i didnt really get that vibe tbh

normal opinion: 2022 may be a bit harder than 2023, but not much, probs on par (general consensus i reckon)
some wacko opinion: 2022 paper is the most hardest exam and all the 2023 kids are "delusional" for thinking their paper was hard: AAArated

Tldr: some top students found it slightly easier, most students found it harder, some 2022 grad is mad we don't unanimously accept 2022 as being the most difficult paper

anyway now for my true opinion (I have was just having fun getting you guys worked up) this years exam was probably on par with the 2022 exam. The only hard part about the 2022 exam was the final binomial quesiton but this exam made up for it with the length of the calculations required for the easier topics (everything apart from stats)

but the fact that you guys got worked up does still show your copium (even though it was valid)

 

[scaryshark09]

even if 2022 was objectively harder, i think the alignment will still be similar
reason for this is that they got the alignment wrong in 2022 and scaling was higher than usual. if they correct that this year, alignment should be the same, but scaling back to normal

the double down XD, broo u can co get a hobby u know, that isnt weird

i mean i just want to congratulate everyone for doing extension 1 in the first place - it's a rough subject and it was a rough paper regardless of whether or not it was harder than last year. i, for one, felt it was very difficult and i'm fully expecting it to not count towards my atar. but i'm proud that i challenged myself by doing it (as an english/history girlie) and i'm proud of everyone here too <3
