Just did MAV 09 today at school....The analysis in exam 2 was pretty damn hard I have to admit. Either that or it was because we did exam 1 and 2 in a three or so hour sitting... Whatever it was, my brain had melted to nothing my the end of it. It was definitely above VCAA standards (again might not be, but i can't judge accurately since I did 1 and 2 consecutively and had a 2 hour Jap exam before it...)

Yes, and I complained to the principal after we finished. It was just so frustrating sitting there in the last hour doing a greatly written exam and not being able to complete it all because of lack of concentration...

And I would put the mav up but don't have it on me sorry :(

^^Needless to say, it was torture.

Anyway, what would be the guess at what the state average would be if VCAA set the methods exam(s) to itute difficulty??

People said Insight last year - I think MAV and KILBAHA can often be harder than VCAA.
