Is it just me or is anyone else getting a lot of pimples?

And my face seems to be a lot more oily as well lol
Haha adolescence or VCE stress? I've noticed more, but it could be getting older, who knows? :P it's not on the study design  ;)

OH MY GOSH!
I just realised this day last year was the day I joined AN :')

Just wanted so say a quick thank you to all of you! I never would have thought I would meet such supportive, insightful and helpful people online but you've obviously proven me wrong there!

I think they're more likely to mix stuff from unit 3 and 4 for chem, more than bio and psych.
But did they mix stuff in bio and psych?

For Biology, it wasn't mixed up. The fact that there were 12 short-answer questions showed this. They could have literally mixed it up. But nevertheless, Biology was great.

From what I've heard, a LOT of people were not happy with Psych.

YES! VCAA helped us sometimes in the Psych Exam but the ratio of help to torture favours them over us.  :'(

You're right, I hate you for saying that.
Couldn't you at least hope that it's medium? Not easy, so there's some scaling but not difficult, so I have a chance?

The exam difficulty doesn't change the scaling; that's set by who's doing the subject.

It'll just change the grade cutoffs.

Didn't use the right terminology there. I meant if its easy, everyone is more likely to do well and all those stupid mistakes my brain is apparently so fond of will set me back more.

Torture and violence is never the answer!  :P

How are we preparing for that last question on the chem exam?

If you don't know the answer to a question, chances are it has something to do with changing the surface area to volume ratio or resonance.

Lol, no. I'm pretty sure that counts as cheating!   :o However, the last question is an "essay type" question, worth 7 marks or something like that.

Also, thushan, you're not in year 12, are you?  ???
