I heard that Tasmania Jones isn't appearing this year - apparently there is this one guy at the VCAA who specialises in writing the Tasmania Jones questions, and he isn't allowed to write the exam this year because his son's completing year 12.

I'm hoping this isn't true, because I like it when they add a bit of adventure to the exam.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

I hate VCAA so much...  5 marks on this piece of shit question gone.

How can you give a 5 mark question without at least making it a 'show'?

worked so hard to minimise dumb errors, and now straight away on one question lose 5 marks.

sat there staring at the question for half an hour,  heart bloody sank.  first time I couldn't do a question, and it had to be on the exam...

shattered.

NO Tasmania Jones?? how shattering, at least the evil cone of death will make up for it  or VCAA will come up with another character that is just as frustrating.
