draw the normal cos graph for the domain -3pi < x < pi and just shift the y axis to the left by pi units there u go
But also if the domain is like (0,2pi) then the shape of the graph will be different cause then it will only be a certain section of it and that’s also kinda dificult unless I use the long method which is so annoying

Honestly same but js hope and pray dawg idk what to say other than the little things that sorta matter which do change your outcome like be mentally prepared too and dont get sick and all that cause there is only so much study to do before the limiting factor is like you not drinking enough water before a test or not sleeping enough.

since the exam is tomorrow, the best tip I can give is have a plan. all the content you could possibly know is in your brain, some people last minute cram but I don’t recommend it (this is giving math vibes I’m assuming it’s math rn). read over all your classroom resources to see if there is any obvious topic you’ve missed. check the formula sheet so you know what you have to memorise and what you don’t. the most extra marks you’re gonna gain now are from good exam technique - do you have reading time? if so, how do you spend it? do you start with multiple choice or leave it until the end? if you have time left, do you attempt the questions you couldn’t do or check your answers? how do you check your answers? if you can answer all these questions, then that means you have a good exam plan! if not, you’ll usually be fine, but having a plan helps when an exam goes very strangely or not according to plan (for me at least). how do you tackle difficult questions? do you rush? good exam technique can also help reduce silly mistakes (something I fell prey to a lot).

finally, deep breaths! if your close friends stress you out, then avoid them before the exam. some people like last minute revision, and some people hate it - find a group who has the same vibes pre-exam to you. remember; this is one of many exams, and you’ll be able to make it up if it doesn’t go to plan. the first one is always the hardest one.

hopefully this helps!

Uh are you able to ask your teacher (it is quite scary ngl) but if it's really important like an internal hsc then yea try and ask :p

Omds, that was the most interesting class. We recently recieved our 4th VED teacher, since the children my peers inevitably cause them to leave, and this class was the worst. Nearly everyone recieved a detention, but that did not stop them. 😭

how easy is it to get a 70-75 ATAR? I got majority Bs, 1 A and C for math adv so is this more than enough to get around that ATAR. I just wanna know if I'll be good even if I flop like really bad

that person must have made the biggest academic comeback ever. I was messing around with the ATAR calculator and I can get a 75 if I get an 80 in all my subjects but then getting a band 6 in one of my subjects literally pushed it up to 81. I put my prelim marks in and I got like 88 ish so I feel like I can get a 90+ ATAR and go to unsw ( I feel like the calculator is lying) but I'm scared I'm gonna flop and I don't wanna stress out. I'm hoping moderation and alignment carries me. But at the same time I'm having imposter syndrome and I don't think I can get a 90+. Like I feel like I'm an 80+ girly

nope. don't let these fears and worries make you see yourself as less or that you don't belong. please. all you need to do is put in the time, effort and work in, and let the results speak for themselves pls im speaking from experience, constantly stressing and worrying over your atar not being high enough or ur marks just ruins everything and in my case led me to keep procrastinating... as long as ur ranks are in the top (better chance at achieving ur goal + u dont need to worry abt others dragging u down), u learn all content way before trials/hsc, and do practise papers TIMED, you will be fine!!!

Yeah I’m just thinking of the worst case scenario. That way I’ll feel more secure and i feel like I’ll less stressed and I’ll do better
