This year = hardest exam?

[xtremeownage]

what are your predictions for the A+ cut off? Im thinking 75-80?% ? last year it was 85%.

[izzykose]

It was 75 last year, so if you propose that it was harder... you would think that it would be lower. It was fairly difficult, but not that difficult in terms of SA questions and multiple choice. However the extended response WAS HIDEOUS and related to a topic that i didn't know in too much detail but i finished all the space given; so hopefully it may be alright.

I said adolescent vs elderly, because there wouldve needed more REM for an infant, and i chose cerebral cortex.. so we can hope we got it right.

EDIT: From Grivas: The cerebral cortex is the convoluted outer layer or covering of the two cerebral hemispheres.

[maddy.grant]

what was with the french and chinese

[izzykose]

yeah.. that was difficult and confusing.. I just said both retroactive but I'm probably wrong...

[studyhardcore]

i said both retroactive too! yay
but i got infants and adolescents for MC :S
and for the extended.. i cant believe i forgot to right about retrograde & anterograde amnesia!

[sacha1123]

i put retroactive for the first one, but for the second one nothing due to the fact that french and chinese are different vocubulary and verb structure

[Darren]

you didn't need to write about that..? i talked about anterograde but that's it.. retrograde wasn't part of the q

[izzykose]

I forgot that too.. i forgot most things for the extended

Hopefully i did really well in other areas, to make up for it.

i put retroactive for the first one, but for the second one nothing due to the fact that french and chinese are different vocubulary and verb structure

Yup means i lost two marks.

[sacha1123]

izzy, i think that was their trick because everyone would have put proactive because the first one was retroactive

[studyhardcore]

so what would the answer be for the second one..?

[sacha1123]

nothing due to the fact that chinese and french are different languages and therefore cannot have any interference due to verb structure, grammar etc, as it is different to french

[studyhardcore]

aww man :/

Me too! Adolescent and Elderly, and what did you choose for the subsequent multiple choice?? the one that was like "why would graph 1 need more REM sleep??"
