Did two practise exams today and got 85% and 87%.
Hopefully I can pull it off in exam conditions.
Anybody else excited to see what they can do?

Was fairly eager (wouldn't say 'excited'), and then KBT came along and put me in my place :(
Depressed atm actually

i did vcaa 2009 today and got 85%, feeling awesome so i didn't do another and continued on with physics haha... =/
im pretty nervous
-
lol i thought i was weird to feel that way. i am and im not. dreading that panicky feeling when i come across a question i have no idea how to do.

Me too.

god dammit , i wanna sit the exam right now

Just want to get it over and done with.

Question 3a 2008 VCAA. I drew the structure of the substance rather than writing in a structural formula. I was trying to be consistent and the question simply says give the "formula". Would that have resulted in a lost mark?

Also is this an acceptable way of naming a compound.
2-methyl propan-1-ol

I actually did the exact same thing yesterday.
I think it would lose a mark.
The question wasn't very clear though.
-
Also. Has anybody done the STAV 2011 yet?
What mark did you get?

Just checked assessment report, you would have not lost a mark there.

Couldn't agree with you more! :D

All we can do now is hope VCAA give us a fair and decent paper without any mistakes that make us worry unnecessarily!

i guess im the only one here who wants to go two months back in time then.

Yeah hope it is decent...not like the accounting paper last year where they put a unit 4 question...on the other hand they gave us full marks for it :)

after doing bio last year I don't know what to expect from the VCAA chem exam :o

Our unit 4 chem exam had a stupid correction which made no difference and made me unnecessarily concerned. Silly VCAA forgot -s on the electrons.
Also Luken (and Thushan) you want an exam that was harder than ours!
-
Yeah, that's just what I don't want. I saw in a paper a few years back they did ppm = 1x10^-6 mg /L, I was like waht? Scared the shit outta me, until I read the examiners report :(
And yeah, I wouldn't mind a hard exam, as long as I know what to do :P
-
agreed I like the satisfaction of working out a tough question = :D
if I can't do it I'll feel like crying = :tickedoff:

Ummm 2004ish?
-
Good way to think about the ppm thing is to assume that 1g = 1mL => 1000 g/L is 1,000,000 ppm. Divide by a million to get 1 ppm = 1 mg/L.
-
IM EXCITED! :D :D :D
maybe because I like doing written exams..
SO much better than orals or music exams where you have to perform and you get all nervous that you might stuff up..

2-methyl propan-1-ol
Yes, although you can drop the 1

I thought you have to include the 1 in cause if you drop it it can either be 2-methyl propan-1-ol or 2-methyl propan-2-ol

Propan-2-ol doesn't exsits does it? since there is 3 carbons moveing the double bond just puts the number 1 carbon on the other end right?
C=C-C or C-C=C

yeh im sort of ready i just hope they dont give a really easy exam like last year where cut off mark for A+ was high or a really Hard exam like 09 where cut off mark was 78%.... still i dont know. when i did the 09 paper i got an A+ but last year i would have got an A..... really freaking me out...

worry less my friend.

You can drop the two, not the one. The reason you can drop the two is that methyl can no other place except for C-2, however the hydroxyl group can be on either C-1 or C-2, hence why you must specify.

I'm excited! ^^
-
i guess im the only one here who wants to go two months back in time then.
AGREED.
+1, didn't have time for a single chem exam today and I've only done about 16 total which I only started last week.
-
^16 and you're complaining?! I only got through 12 :(
I can't wait to get it over and done with. SO bad :(
-
you won't get penalised for including it, so you may as well
only get penalized if you put something like 1-chloroethane

I am beyond skrewed. Goodbye decent chem score. *waves as it gallops away on its black horse into the sunset*
152 days till it's all over. :/

No. You are NOT screwed. You still have today to grasp the principles. Flick through your textbook, do a few questions, try a trial exam, use VN and then you'll do well !!! :D
And finally, don't panic!

Easy for you to say... :P
Nah, guys you will all do fine! 12 practice exams is probably more than 80% of the state would do... so you already have that advantage :D

A+ or die.
lol jk
but seriously..
-
If you need a confidence boost, redo papers! I did the VCAA 2009 one again yesterday and felt SO much better afterwards. Best to learn from mistakes before the exam so you don't repeat them!
-
Heh.. Is it bad that I hope I am aiming for an A? An A+ would be nice but considering I only managed 75% on the '09 paper...
I hope they don't mess the questions up. Please keep it relatively straightforward with theory! haha
-

Its never bad to have high goals :)

What if high goals are a reflection of your delusion (serious question)?
