It certainly wasn't as bad I thought it was going to be. I used the EEV textbook (is there really any other one?) and they went on a couple of tangents that I was stressing over, turns out we didn't need them. The MC section wasn't that bad, there were a couple of questions where I wasn't sure if it was 'X or Y', especially the one about fossil fuels and their formation. I picked A which was, IIRC: "decomposing matter, heat and pressure" just because the other options were talking about specific fossil fuels and I think B had the wrong time frame - millions of years instead of billions.
I guess I was a bit rushed for time near the end so the last page may just be a scribble but I managed to finish it all which IMO is great considering that I didn't end up finishing the sample exam VCAA put up. I think my answers for SA should be fine but I'm bound to lose marks here and there just because I didn't define a term or something, they're pedantic like that
The only question I didn't know how to answer was the one with the projection data response. I wrote that given the data, those in positions of power should be informed so they can make better decisions to curb the rising ocean temperatures and more accurate data should be collected to be inputted into the model to monitor the situation that's probably wrong, I'm interested to hear what you guys wrote for that one.
Anyway, if I do happen to be the last one responding to this thread... to the Environmental Science class of 2018, I really hope that everyone gets a decent score on the exam and best of luck with life, I guess.
Oh and what did you guys get for the percentage increase, I had a brain fart because of the negative number, I wrote a 250% increase, is this within the ballpark of what you guys got?
