what did you find so challenging with it?
I got 21/25 on MC
and 40/50 on SA

This was one of my worst scores as there was some stuff on the SA i just hadn't seen before such as polymorphism, and that eve mitochondrial question i guessed parts of it, apart from that though i dont think it was too hard..

I found it overall to be pretty average. The multi choice was easy (25/25- YAY!), and the short answer was more challenging. I got 64/75.

Definately it was challenging and required quite a lot of analysis. VCAA exams aren't usually like that though
