Post by: Stroodle on June 06, 2010, 08:20:00 pm

I thought STAV 2010 was offtopic.

My worst (mark wise) was a LisaChem one, closely followed by VCAA 09 :S

Everyone's been saying CSE was killer...I don't think it was...and if I don't think it was...then it really isn't.

I must've done the wrong one.
Title: Re: Worst trial you've done so far?
Post by: Martoman on June 06, 2010, 09:13:01 pm
Eh I got 72% that was my lowest.
Title: Re: Worst trial you've done so far?
Post by: Blakhitman on June 06, 2010, 09:13:59 pm
I definitely did the wrong one then.

CSE was the worst especially that our teacher wasted 10 minutes to photocopying it and didn't give us reading time! I got 80%, my lowest so far!

tsfx 2010/ neap 2010-horrible..........went absolutely crap in them. As for like exams that was a waste of time, haven't actually done any exasm that i didn;t think were worth it, but now it looks like i'm gonna steer clear of tssm, and to think i was about to do a tssm one :S

What was so bad about CSE2010.  I lost 7 marks, which I'm not happy with, but most of them were for stupid mistakes...
Title: Re: Worst trial you've done so far?
Post by: ghadz7 on June 06, 2010, 09:21:11 pm
Time management I guess
Title: Re: Worst trial you've done so far?
Post by: Blakhitman on June 06, 2010, 09:22:07 pm
I lost 9 marks in that.

ey how many Hydrogen and Carbon environments in aspirin?
Title: Re: Worst trial you've done so far?
Post by: stonecold on June 06, 2010, 09:30:27 pm
I screwed up that second table on NMR chemical shifts, the redox equation, and the endpoint colour change explanation for redox plus a few other dumb mistakes. 

i.e. Misread alkene as alkane.  I stuffed up a stoich q in multi choice plus the dna question.

I dispute their answer regarding ethanoic anhydryde in the last q.  It could also be ethanoic acid.

So yeah.  6-7 marks lost, but overall it was okay.

Haha well ive got nothing against it, but im saying that it has a greater emphasis on it rather than other areas. And perhaps going into too much depth for our chem course.
