2008 is harder than 2009, and the others before are a different course.

pre2008 are basically unit 3 and 4 jumbled around, many of which are here

But yes I agree, 2008 was the harder of the two current ones

I am probably weird, but IMO, 08 was very easy...

I reckon 09 was slightly more difficult.

i agree, i found the short answer easy on 08, and the multichoice quite difficult.
but then again i haven't done chem is so long so my mind was a bit off, just did 08 today..
time for 09... doubt i'll be doing neap 10 like i wanted to :(

:P

I found that paper really easy.  Lost marks on stupid shit like using m(C) instead of m(CO2) and misreading kj g for kj kg.

And it had a dodge question where you had to explain why the fuel cell wasn't efficient.

Apparently heat loss is the right answer, but VCAA says it is wrong!!!!

neap 2010 was plain ridiculous.
i wouldn't even recommend doing it at all let alone doing it now, unless you want to be left confused and without confidence.
