How'd you go?

[chrysalis]

Just come out of the exam.. And let me just say, I THOUGHT IT WAS TERRIBLE!  :idiot2:

I actually did pretty well on the past exams too 

[Christiano]

I have 3 words to say.

Screw you, VCAA.

[chrysalis]

Did anyone else find it completely different from past exams? I mean, MC was fine, but those short answer questions? Er..

[Drunk]

I thought it was alright, it was easier than last year's at least! Wasn't too hard or too easy - nice way to end the study design I reckon

[Russ]

Details about what was asked?

[mrc93]

anyone laugh a little inside at the pube plant

Pretty much sums up the whole exam LOL most memorable part of the exam

[Readinya]

What?? I thought that 2008-2010 were easy! This year's one: I opened the book at reading time, and i'm like "Oh shiiiiit"

There were some questions that i've definitely come across before, like that Cellulose vs enzyme question. They are definitely pulling those questions from the old study design and just tweeking it that tiny bit.

Btw, doesn't this study design continue until 2014?

[Keo]

The picture of the cat made me laugh, no write up of a experiment which sadden me quite a bit. However it was an alright exam, alot of questions involving immunity. Got the "what type of nucleic acid is in here" wrong for cholroplast wrote rRNA for some odd reason

Woops yeah my bad, thought it was changing next year, awks

[Theron]

I found it okay. Slightly different from the past exams though
Can anyone guess for me whether a 61/75 would yield me an A+ or not?
Hoping the A+ cutoff is low this year  :knuppel2:

[Christiano]

I did not do well at all. Left out the last question, rushed the last 2 pages madly with 3 min left and that poison ivy q.. Was that even an allergic/inflammation response?..

[jane1234]

I screwed up probably the easiest mark in the whole paper!!!

Forgot to add 36-38ATP for the cellular respiration question!  :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff:

That said, it was okay. A few questions threw me off at first (like why would Paul shampoo his hair?  :idiot2:

Definitely harder than 2006-2010, but think I did alright

PS are the answers up yet?

Man I wrote rRna as well lawl. Are you sure it's wrong? There's ribosomes in chloroplasts!

also jane, not sure if you have to add 36-38 ATP for the mark.

Really? Pretty sure you do... was it on any of the past assessment reports?

Oh I hope not

And they'll probably accept rRNA and DNA because rRNA makes up ribosomes....
