I think it comes under general knowledge such as days in a year, weeks in a year, directions NESW etc

39/40 confirmed 

thanks to this, i will never forget in my entire lifetime that sun rises from east to west

Great effort regardless!
Hopefully they realise it may have been unreasonable to expect that knowledge and give everyone the marks.

it was included in the sample vcaa exam but nothing else. However since VCAA doesn't provide any answers/explanation for the sample, I immediately thought about the usual greater the east, further ahead in time they are. I definitely expect VCAA to specify sun rise direction tho (feels like a bit of a stretch for this to appear in timezone questions as it always been flight time etc.), especially knowing that they always mention that earth has a radius of 6400km.

Whelp, such a bummer. Still a tiny chance they might give us the mark for it regardless

Hey all, I am rank 1 (average 97) at a top state school, and scored 38/40. Do you think I can still score a 50 raw?

Thanks

top 4 ranks at our school got same answers as lear
seemed like a decent exam, perhaps lacking a few hard top end questions
