I will be suprised if I get a raw study score of above 30. Extremely dissapointed that I couldnt answer a huge chunk of questions due to the time constraints.  :'(

stressed as hell

Yeah I felt super confident with the content but those questions really were insane, never seen anything like it on a spesh exam. Good to know everyone's in the same boat, but yeah they were straight up sadistic this year :(

I think the best mindset for going into tmr's chem exam is to think that every did bad as well. I stuffed up so many questions. I even read N as Newton (unit) instead of Normal force. RIP.

I honestly don't understand what need they have to make an exam that overly difficult.
Of course, every exam should aim to spread out the cohort and include some more unpredictable questions, but when you have an exam like this the problem is that while the higher students may be more spread out, the rest of the cohort won't be at all.
Surely VCAA would know how to write exams consistently by now ???
