can everyone here understand almost all/all of the questions asked?
and anyone who can make a sentence up on the spot?
i know a crazy dude in my class who can, and wondering if there are any more crazy people like him...
If i know the vocab they use then im usually able to understand it. but it usually takes me a fair few seconds to think up an answer.

What written exam did you do? We had a trial exam at school last week too, but it was a mixed commercial exam. I recognised some of the JPLTV listening 2011 on it; it was fairly ok, i think.

Yeah we did the 2010 VCAA as a trial yesterday. Listening wasnt too bad, reading was a bit more difficult ffor me and writing was ok i just bsed something about the restaurant :P But apparently last years exam was easy....
Hopefully i can prepare myself for the real thing tho!

Oh my vocab is shocking..... Too late to do anything about it? Like i only know what we learn for our sacs :/ So so sad.

Yeah the 2010 VCAA exam is a good one - the listening is a good level, whereas the reading is quite long. The essay topics were good on that one though.
I have been practicing with native speakers over the holidays, I think I'm getting there!!

Apparently 2010 VCAA was really easy, so other VCAA exams are probably better for prep. For example, a girl who got 72/75 for that exam only ended up getting 49 ==;;

Yeah, that's very true. They can't go any easier than last year's so we should all expect them to toughen up on us this year... especially with listening.

My worst section is listening.... pretty worried.

Um, depends on your topic. Mine's convenience stores, so I have very little "bad points" so to speak, but problem points in terms of environmental impact with excessive use of electricity, etc..

Oh ahhk yeah im diong obentou, bad poits and problem points are kind of similar - in that you can get them to lead into each other.

Also would they ask us, what the solution would be?
