Title: How are the nerves?
Post by: Charmz on June 12, 2011, 07:22:44 pm
Seeing as there's only 1 full day left until the exam, who's nervous?

Feeling a bit better after doing VCAA 2007 today :)
I realized that the companies are way harder than VCAA!!

Not really nervous as such, just hoping they won't ask really obscure questions... you nervous?

I'm actually pretty calm. Yeah VCAA exams are the best, they're not overly difficult except 2010 was stupid. What exam would be the best in terms of boosting confidence?

I felt happy doing the 2008 VCAA one, confidence is a tad higher due to it  ;D
Otherwise I am kind of excited to do it!

Not too worried, as I'm not expecting to get an extremely good score and I haven't studied much.

 I've only done the VCAA exams + few others, and they were pretty easy.

I'm starting to freak out a bit right now! I've done all I can to study though.

Is it just me or...

I feel like I don't know my stuff very well.
My photosynthesis is really sketchy and half the time I've been guessing maybe a quarter of short answer and going with gut instinct.

I've been managing to pull above 90s for all of the VCAA exams though (oh how I wish we could just do 2008, so easy), but I still feel like I'm going to fail tomorrow because I can't remember things like inputs and outputs of processes. AAHHHHHH, it's doing my head in!

I'm alright now but I bet come tomorrow morning my calmness will go out the window =l
At least you've been getting 90s, lbeste! =l haha. And I feel the same way about energy transformations. I keep forgetting them...

I can't be bothered doing any more studying. I've done about 13 exam papers all up. How many have you guys done =l

I hope that we do not get anything like VCAA 2010.

"What questions would you ask your doctor?"

Erm... will I die?

How can they mark those types of questions...? I would love anything like 2007 or 2009... :)

HAHAHAH That question actually made me laugh. I was wondering how that related to biology knowledge but to think a question like "Will I get paid?" worked.
I actually hope we get something like the 2010 paper. My best result out of all the past exams. hahaha

Haha and "will I be compensated if things go wrong?" (i.e. develop a deathly illness...you might get a few $100 for it...)

^^ Just shows what VCAA really care about...
