what's everyone thought of the practice exams they've done?
i've done a few and they're all drastically different in terms of difficulty....some of them are so short you can finish in 40minutes, but in others i've been really tight for time and barely finished.

CSE/IARTV - easy
Chemology - lots of things irrelevant to the course, but very short exam
Kilbaha - seemed relevant/ good questions, but still short
Lisa Chem - easy multiple choice (inc a question on how to read a burette!) but some short answers very biological
TSSM - seemed like a good standard
TSFX - very long, lots of questions that seem simple but then turn out to be harder. i did much worse on this one than the others

add your opinion! what's the hardest/easiest prac exam you've done?

TSFX has a lot of irrelevant stuff on there, and extraordinarily bad wording.

chances are, these are just a small compilation of what they do for their "intensive program"s, and is senseless without explanantion.

I wouldnt worry about it :P

lol, i havent done any.

what im doing is just going through every exam by just looking at the answers for questions, because if i attempted to them i wouldnt know the answers to them anyway. then review them and jot down all the points you are expected to know, then go through em again.

so basically learning as i go, through the questions they are going to ask. did this with checkpoints. gonna do it with ~8 exams tomorrow.

I was annoyed with this exam. I found it weird... Anyway, after some quick google searches I found that this exam was "based on" (some q's are exactly the same) as the HSC 2007 Chemistry Exam 1 (NSW) and the SASSBA 2007 Chemistry Exam 1 (South Australia).

So that explains the weirdness....

This is entirely unhelpful for tomorrow, but ah well...
