How did everyone go? How was the exam?

Please upload a copy and I'll write up suggested answers by the end of today.

I liked it, will reward students who have a deeper understanding of concepts, ie more 4 mark questions, compared to single mark questions asked in previous years.

Didn't find it too bad. Some of the multiple choice questions I know I got wrong so I'm hoping for about a 105 out of 120 at the best.
That decathlon question in parts b and c was okay just reverse concepts for each one. Although I did blank at the start but I guess that's because it's at 3 PM. I food most people struggled for time and rushed thir last few questions.

it was fine i reckon, yeah the multichoice were a bit annoying, so i know i got one of them wrong. hoping for only losing a few marks overall, but need to see solutions first as i may have worded everything poorly, but aside from that one MC nothing i didn't really not know..

What answer did everyone get for the flexibility multi choice? (rankings the three stretches for best to worst)

Would you say the exam was tougher than last years?

I would say so babygurl a lot of people struggled for time and there was a lot mire longer and harder questions.
I also found a lack of a real interplay question quote weird.

i thought it was tough. although i did answer everything and had enough substance, it just didnt feel right. That doesnt mean its wrong though. i dunno i thought that if i struggled a little bit then so would the majority of people, so my result should still be in line with the effort I put in.

Did you find that the hardest question was the decathlon one? Just because it had 3 parts that were so long?

Good exam, I thought, Almost didn't fully complete the exam, due to the level of detail I placed in each question. Hopefully I get rewarded for going over the required line space , it sure costed me a lot of time.

Really glad about the section on Physiotherapists ;)

Btw - I've asked this before but how important are SACS (I've been getting above average but not ranked first or anything, I tend to always do better on exams)??

hmm, probably , there were a few i found tricky with that one included, i had to think quite carefully about how to answer them, but i realised they were all quite similar once i did the first one.
