Well that happened. People who did networks, what did you put for the last question about the distance the inspector travels? I put 108 but that was at least partly a guess.

It felt fairly easy overall, and some of your predictions were spot on hahaha

what did everyone got for k, i got 30

Yeah it was 30. The amount of road didn’t change so it had to equal 0 overall.

I got 108 for the last question in networks as well, but the whole question was trial and error, so it could easily be wrong. What did people write for the question asking why Sydney levels would be predicted to exceed Melbourne levels from 2008?

sydney had a greater slope value, i just interpret slope and conclude that syndey slope level is greater than melb

What did people get in graphs and relations for max and min costs?
I think i got $2560ish max and then $2740ish min after new constraints. Had to remember my values because cas reset so may not be fully accurate.

Quite an odd exam with a great focus on some areas and little to none on other areas.
Average difficulty, I’d say slightly lower A+ cut off than last year

Did the same but I also found the intersecting year and then said it increased from there onwards. I don't know if that was necessary though.

I wrote that in 2008 Sydney was higher than Melbourne and that on avaerage it was predicted to increase more than Melbourne each year (and quoted relevant numbers)

Is it possible to get a 50 study score with:

13 hours 30 minutes

[spursy]

why was this exam completely different to previous years?
no crashing in networks, core was laid out a little different
I can't be the only one that found this way harder than previous years?

13 hours 30 minutes

can you explain? why did vcaa state the time difference for 4 hours? when it is actually 2 hours 32 mins
