I found VCAA 2007 way too long....either that or it just looked longer than all the others. So I'm thinking that's what the 2011 exam will feel like :P

Yeah, I'm hoping time won't be an issue despite the extra 10 marks.
I've found that some commercial trial exams are ridiculously long. Whilst others are fine. I guess we'll see in three days lol.

Yeah commercial examinations are ridiculously long and they're starting to kill my confidence for the Legal Studies examination. Neap has 18 questions and Insight has 14 questions but with 2-mark questions requiring you to write like half a page.

Really hoping the VCAA examination is decent in length (apparently 13 questions from the sample cover they uploaded).

the only thing that worries me is the time limit. My timed trial exams with reading time i have finished on time, but many of them only just. It needs to go back to 60 or at least 65 like business management. I really hope that the questions are friendly due to the time constraints or i'm going to get really pissed off. I'm rank 1 in my cohort and if I don't finish I'll probably lose my shit. I only just finished FM Exam 2, MM Exam 1 and Accounting so I'm not liking my chances. I'm going to have to race against the clock and leave my handwriting legibility for the examiners to decode.

I'm with you on this. Both the Further Maths 2 and English exam i finished practically in the last minute, and i always thought i was quick at maths.Anyway, although i'm not rank 1 in my cohort, i'd just love to finish a legal exam with time to read over some answers... >:(
