http://www.mediafire.com/?lkon7rvm75vdky5 I wrote a trial exam, but I haven't solutions as of yet. (I did complete it, but don't have enough faith in my answers to distribute them, but will do once I polish them and have them marked by my teacher).

Very good! As Tobias alluded to, several of the questions mirror text response a little too closely, and a far too specific to the actual text rather than the ideas and concepts raised. However! I applauded your initiative in going out and making an exam, and thank you for sharing with the community!~

Love you too Tobias! xxx

My teacher agreed that there was a little too much focus on the texts (especially in section 3) and apparently my essay topic were too specific and contained content that wasn't strictly on the course (e.g. hard problem of consciousness).

I'd love to see your answers Ghost, that'd be great.

Hi.

Sorry, there aren't any additional papers for the current VCE Philosophy course besides the VCAA papers available on their website. Maybe try your school, they may have some of the distributed 2011 VCAA practice papers.

Fairly sure there's usually a visual image for the first question which asks you to compare two Philosopher's viewpoints and how they'd respond to it. The rest of Section B has a lot to do with YOUR own view of the good life and asks you to respond with your own answers (usually with some reference to the philosophers) about certain aspects of the good life, such as morality, pleasure, etc. Hopefully I answered your question right :)
