2008 is harder than 2009, and the others before are a different course.

pre2008 are basically unit 3 and 4 jumbled around, many of which are here

But yes I agree, 2008 was the harder of the two current ones

I am probably weird, but IMO, 08 was very easy...

I reckon 09 was slightly more difficult.

i agree, i found the short answer easy on 08, and the multichoice quite difficult.
but then again i haven't done chem is so long so my mind was a bit off, just did 08 today..
time for 09... doubt i'll be doing neap 10 like i wanted to :(

Multi Choice of Neap 2010 makes me scratch my head.

:P

I found that paper really easy.  Lost marks on stupid shit like using m(C) instead of m(CO2) and misreading kj g for kj kg.

And it had a dodge question where you had to explain why the fuel cell wasn't efficient.

Apparently heat loss is the right answer, but VCAA says it is wrong!!!!

neap 2010 was plain ridiculous.
i wouldn't even recommend doing it at all let alone doing it now, unless you want to be left confused and without confidence.

^ oh so they are just stupid questions then.
how is the short answer then?
is it really that irrelevant?

I found it a very good paper. It was difficult but the questions were relevant, though hard, because you dont know what to expect tmr. I wouldnt recommend doing it now since it will destroy confidence, but if you have it, you might as well do these questions as i found them interesting

MC:
Q5
Q13
Q18
Q19

Short Answer:
Question 6

okay i may just try the short answer then and those questions happy posted, or just Q6 if i get lazy/run out of time.. still delaying vcaa 09.. if i dont do neap 10 i may just do some past vcaa questions as they are far more relevant (pre2008)

im not phased by losing confidence, since i already know its a harder paper, and i know my course well so it will be fine XD
