It was a good exam the mc and extended response were pretty easy but SA was hard. But I didn't finish so the second half of the extended response was shit which will cost me big time becuase the cut Off for an a+ will be pretty high

I loved it, so easy compared to the mid-year, anyone have a copy so I can start taking it apart and come up with some answers?

Thought it was a very reasonable exam, I personally finished it with about 10 minutes remaining giving me plenty of time to look over my answers but i know heaps of people who were pressed for time, interested to see how other people went time wise?

I missed a mark in the extended response by no more than two seconds. Stupid people who can't read clocks. Anyway, I like it. Some questions though were ambiguous as hell and I ended up guessing some multiple choice like question three. Never have heard of that before. Anyone have a copy of the exam?

Like the first short answer was fairly ambiguous, wasn't 100% as to where all the marks could be allocated to.

the short answers were tough i thought...

Features of adaptive plasticity? rerouting, sprouting? i couldn't figure it out... so i wrote occurs in young children more than adults too..

4 marks for primary appraisal WHAT? couldn't figure out where the marks were...

3 marks for biofeedback? Where were marks?!

GABA did we talk about Benzodiapines? :-S

Extended response....
WHAT WAS THE POPULATION? YEAR 8 STUDENTS? OR STUDENTS WHO STUDY MATHEMATICS?

:(

Was pretty good! Some of the MC were a bit tricky, SA I think I did ok and section C I wrote down everything I could think of that would get me marks

shit I didnt speak about benzodiapines.. but I dont think we really needed too since the question asked for the role of GABA Im pretty sure, so i think we'd be okay just explaining what it is and does and how it contributes/is related to anxiety and phobias

yeah it was harder than the midyear I agree, the section C this time would be more harder for the majority of state than alzheimers would have been. I hope this means lower A+ cut-off :P
