Title: So did everyone got the wrong MC answer sheets today?
Post by: stonecold on November 11, 2010, 08:37:59 pm
We ended up getting some bull shit MC sheet that was faxed by VCAA.

Had to manually fill in all our details.

It was photocopied so badly, that the numbers next to the question boxes were completely blacked out.

So I started writing in the numbers next to them.  Then the supervisor saw me and got pissed and told me to stop, then I yelled back and said something along the lines of: fuck off, I have the right to know which string of boxes relates to each question.

VCAA make me so angry!!!

yeah, it threw me a bit.  i didn't even see the point.   there is no way they will be able to run these through a machine, they will need to be done manually. 

it was typical shit fax quality and kinda crooked as well

This is better than an answer sheet where the questions aren't numbered!

But still highly dodgy :P

Our assessor kept saying "negative electroDE'S"
about 5 times she said that and we all changed like.. the E0 and shit
and then
"Oh wait, negative electrONS"
waste of 6 minutes, no problems

This is another area where VCAA needs to lay down the law.

Unless they have a clue, old people with no idea should not be allowed to supervise exams. 

So many people got shitted on yesterday by the who electron/electrode debacle.

They should have definately made it clear that it was the electrons in the chemical equations and not the E naught values

Ours said..... turn to page 18 and place a negative sign above the e's

Didnt they tell you guys the page to go to??

in my school they're liek WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCMENT and I was thinking "ohhh VCAA made a mistake"
They forgot to put a negative sign next to the electrons in that short answer question asking about which E values correspond to what.
I was like "roll eyes"

yeah, that was funny. Our supervisor was like there's a mistake in the booklet and when he told us what it was we were all cracking up... haha. I wasn't going to put - signs in but since he told us, I did.
