did everyone get notified of the mistake in the further electronics section?

Further electronics:
Did anyone else get really confused when they asked for the graph of the voltage across the zener diode, and none of them were stable DC voltages? I think they must have really fucked it.

We had someone come into our exam and tell us about an error in the further electronics section, None of us were doing further electronics though.
They gave us an extra minute at the end because of it :)

We got told, but we don't do it. What was the mistake that they made?

It'd be concerning if it wasn't the same.

I know about that error... but... really, the further electronics this year was a ridiculous amount harder than any practice or previous VCAA exam. And yet I heard the S&M was easy... this is why I think the whole choose your own detailed study is a bad idea. They should just make electronics harder, it's not like it's hard at the moment. Not that I really care any more...

Fail at missing the labeling of cyclist/diagram question.  :-[

Same! That question was so BS! As if wedge the question in between two fat paragraphs... 2 marks gone instantly. Now I'm sitting on the borderline of an A and A+ because of that. Pissed big time.

Haha. I lost two (or hopefully one) of my 4-5 marks by mislabelling that bike. I dunno what I was thinking. I drew the centripetal force and the nr force...

Looking at it now though, that question is more about how pedantic and particular you are during reading time. Not how good you are at physics at all.
