I KNOW!~

I SWEAR, those smartasses think 95% is bad, where as in my standards it is EXCELLENT even a 90% is VERY GOOD, and for them is "ok" *gahhh* think comparing your or my marks to them oh shit

hahahaha Takuya you are hilarious. So true so true

 

[hipsta_jess]

i do general and so far i havent talked to a single person that actually liked the paper.
it was one of those ones that little insignificant things were made into big markers and you had to know them to answer the rest..so i think i will (hopefully) get a lot of error carrieds..

Miss V: she is an excellent maths teacher from my school

How cool was that article?

I sat for the Ext 2 one, and it was HELL~!~

I don't understand, how come the James Ruse students can do 2U and 4U at the same time?? Unless he's only taking one exam officially, it's impossible to do the two papers together!

Anyway, I got up to question 8 too. With lots and lots of questions unanswered in the middle and end

Probably did the 4U in 30minutes then got bored and grabbed a 2U paper from a nearby desk and did it for fun...

Woohoo.. another article from the paper from Hell :S

Tough maths exams 'anger and frustrate' (this was in the Telegraph)

"The tougher exams are part of a strengthened HSC, supported by Premier Bob Carr, which is aimed at eradicating easier courses, soft options and lower expectations among students".

Damn you Bob!!!!

 

[braindrainedAsh]

I don't think tougher exams are such a bad thing... it's not going to affect your aligned mark because overall people will do worse so BOS will tinker with the marks more.... it separates the good students from the freaky genius students... I'm sure that when we get our aligned marks and stuff they will be fairly similar to our personal realistic expectations of what we feel we are capable of getting in 2u maths.... at least I hope that is the case.

Repeating maths is allways an option. :-(

 

[sneeble]

Lets hope they take this reaction on board, and make next years exam easier
