Don't expect any replies, but I might as well try my luck.. haha

What did everyone think of the exam? I thought it was a lot more difficult than the past exams - especially Section C..... a lot of people wouldn't have known how to rotate and shrink the Y in the logo!!

I thought I did good though :)

I think it was fairly straight forward, i had time to redo all my questions. My major concern was the fact that the examiners did not specify, nor allocate marks for using the correct font for the animation in section C. Other then that, the exam was seemed easy, i believe it was a lot easier then the previous year in terms of the theory component.

Well to make it difficult our teacher knew absolutely NOTHING about Multimedia, and we all had to teach ourselves pretty much everything... I did well considering the circumstances. lol.

I actually found the exam a bit more difficult than the previous years though. There were some questions in there that had never been asked before.. not that I couldn't answer them though :) I think.. haha

Yeah you had to have the Y rotate in from the left side and shrink into its final position at the same time - you'll probably only lose one mark so I wouldn't stress too much. lol.

When do they post up the exams on the vcaa website?

OH actually something I was a little unsure about - what did you guys put as the hostname in the first question in Section B?

I put www.microsoft.com, and according to my teacher that was right, but some other people have been saying it's only microsoft.com..... I don't trust my teacher because he could NEVER answer questions we had about the past exams during revision with anything more than an umm or an ahh... My friend told me it could be both because they're both considered a hostname so now I'm really confused. boo.

Easiest exam....ever!

45 SS :D

I didnt have any problems =\

Apart from one short answer q I thought was a bit dodgy, 4 marks asking something about the principle of uniqueness? or Something?

One mark was obvious just to make it one object, 2nd mark was a bit... =\

It was unity, and you lost 4 marks if you put that :p

Uniting objects in terms of the question referred to putting them on a common background (giving them the same purpose, putting them on a "road background" or something like that) or you could make them the same colour, size or make them face the same direction if you get my gist.

I wrote they could either make all of the cars red like the first one, or they could turn the last one in the opposite direction so all of the cars are facing the same direction - 4 marks yes? :D

i said make all cars same size and balance it out by being all in one line  :D
hopefully 4 marks lol
as the exam is only worth 34% of the study score and 66% is coursework. For my assessment tasks i lost only like 2 marks throughout. If with the exam i got a High A-A+ what ss will i be looking at?

Will the coursework moderate the exam or is it the other way around?
