recent update :
stats please save me
written on Sunday, June 22, 2014 @ 10:03 PM ✈

I just feel I'm not really in the right headspace for exams this time round due to that rough patch last week or whatever (I'm still in it). Even if I'm worried for the exam I can't do anything about it. I feel like I did 90% less preparation than I did this time last year (what with first set of uni exams and all). Doesn't help when everyone in our cohort is discussing their answers to past papers on our fb group page and I've only done one paper? I only physically did the paper with the answers cause I like checking... For the older papers I just read the questions but don't exactly do them.

 Anyway stats tomorrow, 9am start which means crowded morning train :/ It's a 3 hour exam so even though I have no appetite I'm still sure my stomach is going to growl and embarrass me since it'll go til lunch time. As much as I really want to keep my 92 score in stats (what I got last year) I'm not sure that's possible. It's because last year we had the "basic" stats (I'm not saying it's easy because it's not) but the algebra section was literally just normal differentiation and integration which we had done since year 11 so I hardly needed to practice it and the test was pretty good.

 Buuuut this time it's obviously harder statistics and unfortunately it's no longer basic HSC algebra but matrices which CAN get tricky. I looked at our old tutorial sheets and the end questions are crazy, they're like twice as hard as those "extension" questions we used to get in our Cambridge textbooks which I always felt was more 4u than 3u (teacher said so too). Anyway luckily, when looking at past papers the matrices section looks quite enjoyable and it literally has the same idea as what we did for our assignment so hopefully it goes fine. 

 Not loving how the exam is 50% lol and that each section (ANOVA, regression, matrices -- in that order) is like 40%, 30%, 30% of the test or something. Too much stats not enough linear algebra :( I calculated my marks and I'm currently sitting on 93.69417989 for 50% but how much of the other 50% I can get I don't know... I think my cohort is grateful the matrices part was purposely dumbed down because if it weren't, no offence but a lot of them would struggle. They're stronger at remembering science stuff and not maths whereas I suck at pointless remembering so yeah. 

 Looking at past papers is hilarious because the wording is LITERALLY exactly the same, but obviously the actual data and even experiment type is different (so method to solve it is different) but the actual question is the same haha OTL
