I was like "alright 5 mins extra reading time"

Haha yeah thats good for you
but for me .. i spent the first 5 mins asking the examiner wth was the mistake? LOL
Actually worried there was a mistake
She said " e" is negative
and so i changed the E. Value from +0.22 to - 0.22
HAHA
then i realized its the electron she was talking bout
actually laughed at how sad they are ....

That's what I did too but the hot asian girl sitting in front of me corrected me... and like you I thought it was totally unnecessary to correct that... wouldn't even have noticed the difference

yeah the examiners had no clue "we don't know anything about chemistry, and hope you understand it". They repeated the

Ours said the same thing. i then changed the E value to negative because of the confusion then changed it back. VCAA are funny.

reckon you should, q's was worth 2 marks for some odd reason. Plus, it was VCAA's mistake if you genuinely changed it because of the confusion..

VCAA are idiots even mentioning their mistake. They must be complete spanners if they think people were going to stare blankly at the letter e for half an hour trying to work out what it meant.
The Finnish word pilkunnussija, which translates literally to “comma fucker,” is someone who risks his social wellbeing to annoyingly and persistently point out punctuation errors.

I know.  I have said this a million times already, but I'll say it again: they have proven on many occasions that they do not have the competence required to run something as important as the final exams for secondary school.

A new department, with entirely different management and staff is required, and a much more stringent checking of exams is should also be implemented.

the electrons were just the beginning of the balls up for us,


near the end of reading time flicking through data book, WTF why are there lined pages in the middle, wheres Faradays ... ?

WTF VCAA put question 4 from the dance exam in my data book. Hilarious, some people had this, some had blank pages, they ran out of DB's so some people had to wait and got an extra 10mins at the end, everyone got an extra 5, and i had to sign a confidentiality agreement not to tell dance students what was on the exam


pissing myself the whole way through the exam.
