What the hell is wrong with Chemology's inconsistency in their Physic trial exams ?????

Chemology seem pretty unprofessional to me. Their official email address is an optus ISP one...

They are pretty simple overall, with the occasional interesting question, like that collision on an angle question (though it wasn't very challenging :( )

They seem to have a lot of mistakes in both their questions and answers. This makes me wonder how much we can trust the answers they provide us when we are not sure and rely on the answers for. I wouldn't really recommend anyone to do Chemology exams, especially their chem exams. They are quite simple as well.

Apart from the old thread revival:

It's not only Chemology that offers incorrect/imperfect answers (I don't think they did have any wrong from memory, but this is talking quite a few months back), but other (most?) trial exam companies. You shouldn't be trusting any of the solution sets, apart from VCAA. 

I wouldn't really recommend anyone to do Chemology exams, especially their chem exams.
I recommend everyone to do pretty much every trial exam they get their hands on (not sure if it'd be worth doing pre-2004 company exams, but definitely worth doing pre-2004 VCAA exams).

Really? I don't see the point doing ~60 if you aren't improving and/or felt you have done enough.

Probably should have worded better: I was really just talking about doing as many different companies as possible. Trial exams are to expose you to exam style, right? Different companies would have different questioning styles etc. I notice that once you do a few exams from one company, (a lot of the time) their exams stay with the same style, same difficulty etc.

For example, it wouldn't be as useful as doing like 8 Neap exams and neglecting the others. And of course, VCAA should take priority over any other exam.

But yeah, you're right that there's probably not much point doing 60 (or perhaps even more than 20 for matter).

VCAA do have errors in their Examiner's Reports (believe it or not) - Spesh 2010 Exam 1 comes to mind :P

The reports are not too bad for physics from what I've seen (feel free to point out any VCAA errors that I don't know of).

They had an error in the 2010 IT Applications exam as well (still has been left uncorrected last time I checked). They seem to amend the examiner reports a lot as well.
