Easiest VCAA exam by far!
Can't see the A+ being less than 90% tbh.

I barely studied for it and found it extremely easy. Most likely a very high A+ cut off.

Yeah I have to agree Najaf, there weren't really any questions that probed a thorough understanding of the material, kinda disappointed with VCAA.

I'm actually pissed off. Did 51 practice exams and the freaking thing was easier than I expected. 
They're gonna be tight about the worded answers and its specifics.
I was praying for a hard exam...
I'm scared my answers didn't mention the specific terms. Gah.
I guess its over now.
