What was the most stupid thing you did in this exam?

[springonion]

for the hydrogen bonding between base pair
I thought there was 5 hydrogen bonding coz there was 5 pairs, but really you have to count the double bond and triple bond lol

[luken93]

Ummm, IR is in terms of EN, when clearly C-Cl and N-H aren't at opposite ends of the EN spectrum hahaha
But overall, pretty happy I didn't do anything completely stupid.

[dmanz]

didnt balance eqn for stoich q

fml

[Water]

Writing (-OH (acid)) for the Banana Oil, then declaring its carboxylic acid. -1 Mark.

[tea.squaredd]

For the phosphorus gravimetric question (4) , I doubled the mole, instead of halving it, and got a percentage by mass over 100 -.-

[mattshen]

forgot the + charge on CH3CH2...can't get more stupid than that ==

[ttn]

-forgetting the + for the fragment, well I can't remember if I did.
-Calculated mass for Iron instead of that tellurite thing and noticed it right on 1:29 with the supervisor standing beside me, went to fix it and didn't have enough time to put down the final mass before she took my pen off me lmao.
-Q4..
-didn't notice the freakn methyl ester for q1, might've guessed it right though.

Basically goodbye to A+ lol.

[springonion]

dw bro i stuffed up so many mutliple choice aswell -.-

[ttn]

I stuffed up 5 MC as well...

[ulbasour]

4 MC's.... 2 were ambiguous questions. Seriously, i think VCAA just try and screw us over with ambiguity to separate students rather than challenge us with hard questions. If it isn't filling a question with 90% Red herring and 10% tuna afish, there pulling out MC's where you can technically have 2 or 3 answers. FW's!!!

[thatricksta]

writing ethene instead of ethan-1-ol.
one of the only marks i will have lost a silly one at that, goodbye A+

every multiple choice had a 'more correct' answer... i had no issues identifying it

[banditkeith]

Stuffed up at least 6 MC
I had one of them right and changed it for some reason. You should ALWAYS follow your first gut feeling if you
aren't sure of a question!!
SA is alright, managed to get Q4 but I dunno how many silly mistakes I make.
Praying so hard I get an A. WIll be so shattered with a B

[jane1234]

Putting the ester down as a result of a condensation polymerisation reaction...  :idiot2:
And the MC question about the soluble ibuprofen... I got the aspirin salt one on the '09 but not this!!!

I big to differ with 1 or 2 of them...but thats not the point. My bone to pick is why do they aim to try and trick or test students comprehension ability to such great extent at times, when it's a chemistry exam? They should be foccusing more on exploring our understanding of the subject than simply trying to see if we can read questions carefully, be able to eliminate useless crap and so forth. They are twisting the system too much..
