too easy i reckon, didnt probe deep enough into alot of the areas it could have..
few small things, but otherwise seemed very good, solid exam, A+ mark will be relatively high..

2010: Chemistry 47 | Further Mathematics 48 | English 42 | Specialist Mathematics 43
2010 VCE ATAR 99.65
UMAT: 98th %ile

lol at the people in my class who choose AAS for the uranium question, the obvious answer was mass spectrometry as they were both isotopes.

how easy was all the interpreting of the NMR and infrared data and all the enzyme stuff

55 degrees optimum and 5ph

and also the question on identifying the functional groups on w.e the molecule was
amide,amino,ester :D
