Title: The Exam Structure
Post by: monkeywantsabanana on April 18, 2011, 11:25:41 pm

Hey guys

Does anyone know if the exams will be structured like previous years such that Brain would be in 1 chunk, Memory another chunk and Research a separate chunk of the paper?

'Cus the design has changed so I'm not sure if they're gonna do this or they're gonna jumble them up

Any ideas?

They're going to jumble them up.. and then they'll be an essay style response worth 10 marks from any AOS :|

None of the MULTIPLE CHOICE questions will be ordered according to area of study, however is this also the case for short answer questions? There'll also be an extended answer being either a 10 mark essay or a 15 mark research report

Ah damn !

So it won't be in order :(

Does anyone know if there's anything new with the exam apart from it not being in order and it including the extended response?

:O

Are the questions gonna be pretty much similar to other years?

Don't cite me on this, but I'm inferring that it'll be HOPEFULLY an easier exam because for the start of every new study design, they tend to be nice since we have literally no current study design resources from VCAA; except for those sample ones on the website D:
