Hey, just wondering...

Is there a lot of geometry in the HSC? [circle, cordinate and deductive]
What kind of questions would you be asked? [ie. 'show that...' or 'prove...']

Thanks for your help.

just look at past hsc questions from the official board of studies....usually they would ask around 1-2, 3 max probably but then again they ask whateva they want. With cordinate geometry in 2u its usually a whole question 2 on cordinate geometry

Usually its a combination of show that prove...usually you have to show something then prove, like in circle geometry they would ask something is cylic or somethings

just check out the papers always better to see it in your own eyes then someone elses

Geometry questions are very uncommon in an Extension 1 paper. They tend to appear more often in the 2 unit paper. There are usually only one or two Circle Geometry questions in the entire paper which come from the Geometry topic. About half of the rest is calculus lol.
