The.... Exam 2

[Michael]

Has anyone done the iTute Trial Exam 2 for this year? It's extremely difficult.

[bilgia]

itute are always harder...i have the paper on my desk ill prolly do it a bit later on..

[Jasper]

I'd say a whole question out of the 5 will be on probability with emphasis on normal and standard distributions.

They'll probably give us some scenario, example someone's daily fat intake or whatever, and give us a series of 'find the prob that this happens' questions.

Also a question that ends with drawing a graph. Maybe start with a function, find the inverse, domain, yadda yadda, hence draw the graph of the inverse where the inverse will be a tricky trig.

I may be completely wrong on this, but I did predict 'mutually exclusive' would come up on exam 1, so you never know.

Tricky trig inverse? That's a thought. I've never seen that before.

Wait. That isn't possible! Is it?

I don't know! Just practicing really difficult VCAA questions atm. All you can do, I suppose.

If you figure out how to inverse a trig graph, tell me.

[kido_1]

Um....Tricky Trig.

A retarded question we have not seen b4. How hard can trig be?

I am nearly certain there will be an abs function question.

And One of the 5(probably worth the most marks) will be focusing on continuous prob.

Transformations will also pop up, possibly having to discuss them...

completely irrelevant but I can't stop loling at kingmar's  picture. Binary sudoku  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

[Jasper]

What I meant was, for example, they'd give us an inverse sine equation (sin^-1) and tell us to find the inverse, hence resulting in a sine equation. Then we'd have to graph it. And by tricky all I mean is a dilations and tranformations without a comfortable scale maybe.

[kido_1]

Possibly, what about exponentials/logs/differential calculus..
Um...This exam in around 36 hrs time.

[Collin Li]

Don't think they'd do something that consumes a lot of time without testing much knowledge.

[kido_1]

I wonder whether or not 5 questions instead of 4 is a good or a bad thing.  

It might actually be a long long long paper..

[JL_91]

we might get some composites, maybe addition of ordinates - definitely trig and absolute value. maybe logs and exponentials..whatever wasn't tested much in exam 1 will be all over exam 2. and for those doing CAS like me, look out for plenty of matrices

*edit*: having 5 questions could be good or bad. because they are worth 58 marks just like the 4, we could be looking at shorter questions. on the other hand..they could give us some long, complex parts to questions that are worth quite a few marks.

[bilgia]

i hate long questions....

[kido_1]

Yeh, it all depends what those VCAA dudes decided to give us.

Hopefully it will all be good.

each part of the question would probably worth less marks. there probably won't be any questions (by itself) that would be worth like 5 marks unlike last year's exam paper's last question. was that 4 or 5 marks? i cant remember.

[JL_91]

exact same question, but in the CAS paper it was worth 4 marks, in the normal paper it was worth 5
