I just want to see how difficult my exams were - if you are ok with it, please post your scores in each of my four exams when you've tried them (out of the maximum score)!

Unfortunately I found them very hard :P I stopped doing them at exam 2 because my scores were really low. Perhaps I might do exam 3+4 later on when I am feeling more confident :)

It's normal to do poorly in your first few exams, chin up man!

Hey Thushan, do you suppose there's any way we could just buy the exams from the AN chem guide, because they seem like they would be extremely helpful to do at this time of the year.

Hey dude,

sorry I don't think I can do that; I assure you though that the topic tests are also quite thorough!

The first three weren't too bad I didn't think, harder than all the company ones I've done but not unrealistically so - the last question of exam 3 was great.
The last one was obviously very hard but still accessible - the mathematical explanations of equilibrium were really good. Haven't attempted the delta-U question or the last two of exam 4.
Thank you so much for writing this, it has made a huge difference. Anyone doing chem next year should definitely get it :)

wow these exams are way too hard for VCE my friend. I only had a look but damn son, this shit's cray.

well i did my first exam : 115/128 (the main reason i dropped marks was due to the NMR question. The spectra were really unclear. A very intimidating exam that put me down for the rest of the day. Defs not doing these right before the exam day, but really good questions.)
