Title: Chemistry questions.
Post by: superstar1 on January 18, 2011, 03:53:19 pm

Hey, I know it is early to br asking but what year exams are within our study design, I want to do some random past exam questions but don't know which year to do. Could someone tell me from what year our study design has been made. thanks

note that exams pre-2008 will not be entirely foreign material for you. Still make use of these exams because a lot of it is still on the course, just ignore the questions you haven't studied.

The biology stuff in unit 3 can be found in the pre-2008 unit 4 papers

Only some. pre-2008 study design has a section called 'food chemistry' in unit 4, which looks at carbohydrates. As far as I know, the new study design introduced structures of proteins/DNA.

So really, if you want to practice the the old syllabus stuff, save the printing and sorting and get checkpoints. =]

But really, each year ~10 commercial papers are published for each unit (past VCAA, NEAP, TSFX, LisaChem, CSE/IARTV, STAV, TSSM, Insight, Chemology, Kilbaha), and this is the 4th year, so there are at least 30 papers out there (with 10 to be released) that are for the current study design. Who REALLY needs more than 40 papers per unit? :P

(Oh, and NEAP smartstudy has 3 papers, A+ exams has 5 or 6, Jacaranda textbook has 1, some tutors publish their own KBT/medtutors maybe? VN might even write our own this year too)

I remember doing at least double that for chemistry practice haha  :P

I didn't print off the exams though, i just had the computer open in front of me and answered questions in a book and then checked them after. If this is too much hassle though, get checkpoints. I personally hated checkpoints though lol, who wants to pay for questions that are free on the vcaa website! i'd prefer to buy the A+ notes book, way better!
