So... how do you think you went in the exam?

I think it was out of 90.

Should get A+...probably dropped 2 or 4 marks.

But yeah I thought it was pretty easy to be honest.

I've put in 89, just in case they didn't like one of my explanations. Hopefully it should be 90 though.

I know I screwed up badly in the electronics section so I think that's 27 marks I'm in doubt.  However, in general, I thought it was an easy exam compared to past VCAA exams (even though it's still a new course this year).

I'm hoping for the worst though, probably get around 50-60.

I should get between 85-87 depending on my explanation of weightlessness.

I know too many people that reckon they full-marked that...

What do you reckon A+ mark would be?

I had the right answer for the LED on/off quetion, but changed it later, very pissed off. Apart from that, I think I was fine, but probably lost a handful of marks elsewhere due to dumb mistakes. Wasn't expecting VCAA to follow up a straightforward exam like last year with an even more straightforward exam. What do you guys think the A+ cutoff will be?

EDIT: After looking at the Itute solutions, it looks like the only marks I lost were those LED ones(assuming my explanation responses were fine). Why do I feel like I'm setting myself up for a big fall by posting this  :idiot2:

I think 82-84. They'll probably mark the explaining questions harshly, and most people will have dropped a few marks here and there. In my opinion, it was around equal difficulty to 2008... however, the marks probably seem slightly inflated here because:

1) People overestimate their marks in the explaining questions
2) Everyone who comes on here is interested in VCE, and thus probably prepared well for the exam
3) People presume that they got most of their multiple choice right (but they can't tell because they don't have their answer sheet with them)
4) People may have written down something different to what they were actually thinking at the time, and hence might THINK they have the correct answer even when they don't.
