Why have the exam writers suddenly decided to make most of the exams hard!

Some exams are exceptions (chem)... But the majority of 2010 exams so far have been harder than past years :(


Wish I did VCE in 2006, I'd already have two 50s :( :(  I swear it was the easiest year for basically EVERY subject. I've yet to see a hard paper for any subject from 06.

Well the two 50s would have been for subjects not involving calculations so it's not as bad.

And the 2006 exams were done under exam conditions at school anyway so it was pretty similar. I swear I could have gotten at least one 50 in 06 :( I don't think I would have stuffed them up, they were easy and for subjects I'm good at.

Oh well. We'll see what 2010 brings on dec 13th. Hopefully the moderation from the more difficult exams will make up for it.

Dude, well done on this paper! Full marks is insane. That last question had me thinking WTFFFF.

Oh well. The difference in scores for my bottom 2 and my overall enter is negligible so I'm not stressing. Just thankful I haven't majorly screwed up my top 4 subjects ... media still to go, so there is still the possibility..

:) thanks, but i don't know whether i've got full marks yet. my working might confuse the examiners at some points.
and good luck with media, you'll do great.

Hard exam>easy exam

Last year's physics required ~96% to get A+, how do you know you wouldn't have made some mistakes, and BOOM no A+.

But if we get hard exams it will just mean the cut offs are lower. We're not really disadvantaged are we?
