i actually spoke to a few people who said they did well, and we were talking about questions getting exciting when we got them right, or whatever. and now i realise we were all wrong about a few little things xD
just most people aren't aware of it... (i certainly wasn't until VN told me i was wrong..)

main problem is that it wasn't too long and wasn't too hard so quite a lot of smart kids fell into same trap..i think the multiple choice seperates most people since most short answer was either doable or very tricky

Honestly, I think I stuffed this exam up majorly. Haven't even ventured into to the suggested answers thread but from what I've seen it looks as though I've gotten like one or two answers that's the same as everyone else's in the other threads.

The exam was full of booby traps. And unfortunately I got stuck in all of them. I'm in the same boat as you.
2009:
Math Methods: 35 [41]
Vietnamese: 22 [26]

2010:
Chemistry: 40+
Physics: 45+
Specialist Maths: 40+
English: 45+
Japanese: 30+

Hopefully: 99+
Ambition: Medicine, Pharmacy or Radiography.

Ignore the above. I've failed Year 12 and life. I've had an epiphany... I'm destined to become a gigalo.

I don't know anyone who's checked the answers and who's confident that they scored 100%. And that says a lot, because I've talked to a lot of high performing students.

yeah lol. so many people. (me included) were really confident after the exam. but so many tricks lol

And a sort of reassuring sign was when i was discussing answers with a few of the top performers today it sounded like i was on par with them with a mid/high 60 (out of 75)

=/ There's always people hidden away

And if it's wrong to say that a Bunsen Burner cannot be used because "Bunsen burners are ineffective at controlling the temperature", then what % of the state will have got that wrong?

True, true. But from people I've spoken to at school and things...
