PE Exam '08

[danorama]

How did everyone find the exam?!

[jinn]

really easy actually..
question 2 was a bit tough though
had me stumped for the good part of 110 minutes
and then i reread it at the end
and i was like
OOOOOOH easy!

what do you folks reckon?

[danorama]

reckon you will get 50?

close to

i have received 100% on all my SACs this year and i'm fairly positive i aced this exam. however i do think i dropped one mark in the multis

[russdog]

Was very happy there was no risk management.

Which multi did u find tough?
What did u say to lower EPOC?

ARGAHERGARGHARHRG FUCKING VCAA

they make 2007 hard then over compensate and make 08 rediculously easy. Which means getting a 50 will need like 117+/120... or something sigh...


Anyway, I noticed a few flaws in the exam;

1.
The one about the reactivity of direct observation being higher or lower - they did not state whether or not the observer was visible to the children or how many times he/she had observed - so reactivity is unclear. I ended up choosing higher, assuming that the observer was visible.

2.
the question about AFTER a period of aerobic training. That during a 3km time trial, the subjects' HR levels would "increase", "decrease" or be "unchanged".

I answered decrease because, indirect testing that is not conducted in the lab generally has a sub-maximal/non-maximal intensity, thus the intensity during the 3km time trial would be sub-maximal in nature as well. A chronic adaption to aerobic is decreased resting and SUB-MAX HRs... so after the training period (of 3 months was it?) they would have lower sub-max HRs during the same time-trial... props if you read all that LOL



Also, did anyone continuously write beyond the given space/lines... I found myself doing that on almost every question even though my hand writing is not very big...


And since I finished early I copied down my multi choice answers:

D A B A C B D A A C C D A B D

lol i didnt know wa t a lipid was so i sed protein dammit. was fairly easy though, any guesses on the distribution of A+s im guessing 90%

another Q:

What did you guys say about running in 35'C temperature as opposed to 20'C for 30mins.

What happens to EPOC and how does that affect fatigue?

The question actually said is reactivity likely to be higher or lower in relation to this form of testing (objective or subjective) And objective would be less reactive so bl

i said it increased EPOC because a higher temp means more blood will be distributed towards the skin meaning less blood (therefore oxygen) is distributed to the working muscles etc etc etc
does anybody have a copy of the exam so i can see which multichoice i selected

[michaelc8]

i said blood was thicker causing it to be slower. i was creamin that there was no ethics, risk management and not much drugs or adaptations.

i got 92 out of 100 for symester 1, 88 out of 100 for symester 2 and prob 80% today, anyone got a good guess for my study score?

[shademaker]

Im not sure about that danorama/ I thought what you thought but in the sentence before it said "this type of measurement is subjective/objective" so when it spoke of type in the next sentence i assumed it meant the specific type. And objective measurements have high reactivity such as pedometery and direct observation.

I did make a little statement below to justify my answer even there was no "lines" lol... hope I don't piss off the examiner
