Exam Thoughts & Review

If all I did for Section C was write the IV, DV and hypothesis for the intro, how many marks should that be?
Ugh, can't believe I ran out of time.
I finished the MC fairly quickly, within 20 minutes so I took my time for short answer. I could have done it alot faster but I sorta got a bit cocky and took my time with it. Then I looked up at the clock and there was 7 minutes left for me to do Section C.

I really don't understand what is going with VCAA. The 2009 and 2010 exams were so straightforward in their multiple choice... and now we get these ambiguous questions! A new study design is no excuse, but I guess if it gets the spread of marks, it works... as much as we hate it...

Wrote till the last 3minutes then checked MCQ and didn't change one. Put sys desens but apparently it was flooding

Stress is subjective in nature.

I thought the Short answers were the most challenging due to the vast amounts of marks allocated...

I had 10 mins to spare ... :-S I did Extended response 15 mins, 25 mins for short answers and the rest for SA...
 probably didn't use time wisely enough..

[REBORN]

I thought SA was the easiest section and MCQ was the hardest :/

[dh1993]

still cant remember :\ i wouldnt have skipped anything though cos i finished the last question on the last box, i probably just cant remember cos i was so stressed

[dh1993]

me too. MCQ was way too ambiguous

Lol really? MCQ was fairly easy IMO
But there were a couple stupid questions...

[sam17]

what did everyone put for the adaptive plasticity short answer? like the features of adaptive plasticity? I put that the brain  changes its neural structure or function as a result of everyday experience and changes to compensate for damage. I dont think ill get the marks though.

The issue for most people, including myself, is that we had not answered those types of questions before >.>
So while most of the responses were quite clear in what would be right, it was hard to word and actually respond to them in a way that would get full marks...I dunno, I found that I didn't know specifically what they wanted, so I ended up writing heaps for each question
