NEAP KILLS YOUR CONFIDENCE I CRIED WHEN I DID IT (NOT REALLY)

story of my life. neap accounting were pretty bad, and they never gave enough space to write LOL

[vwinnie8]

Lol so I've only done 2 papers so far and not doing well at all,
1st one - Lisachem 2011, only got 50%
2nd - Stav 2008, 68%

So can you guys recommend me some of the easier ones I can get through first?

Umm try doing them question by question - Like do one question/one short section, and correct it with solutions. So that way you're not making the same mistakes over and over in the paper. All the papers are hard.. sigh. Hmmm.. get that A+ Chem notes book, READ IT, highlight stuff while going through the whole book, it really helped me coz I basically zoned out half the time in chem class and it summarises things up very well. The book itself is quite thin and small - can easily read it in 2-3 hours, maybe even less

Exambuster for Chemistry is the best. Sources all its questions from past VCAA exams, complete with worked solutions, assessor's comments and average marks. The questions are all still relevant to the course ranging from 2002 to 2009 i think, very good revision.
In terms of exams, the tough ones this year are LISACHEM, NEAP, and the confidence boosters are INSIGHT and STAV.

Lisachem: Decent, with some good questions and some dodgy ones --> 6/10
NEAP: Odd, with some very good questions, some really dodgy ones --> 6/10
CSE: Who the hell wrote that paper? --> -2/10
STAV: Quite good, with the odd dodgy question --> 8/10
Insight: Excellent papers, with good worked solutions --> 9/10
VCAA: Well, that's the standard. --> 10/10

TSFX - "Are you sure you have the right subject?"  0/10

Bahahahah I can imagine that lady from TSFX... "Our papers are excellent, they are of the highest quality, and have been checked over and over by the most experienced of assessors..."

I find it funny how TSSM produces chem papers when TSSM stands for 'The Specialised School for Mathematics'

[nacho]

CSE are the worst.
their papers are extremely ugly and terribly set out too
i'd rather watch a dog take a dump than do a CSE paper
