You should see tush, if there is a needle in a haystack - he will find it.

But nonetheless, it will be passed on.

Just so you know guys, the extended response section will be very challenging, but I'll make sure it stays within the course.
Also, I'm going to make this paper quite short, because it'd be good if I can allow you guys some time to digest the more challenging questions.
Most of them are coming from left-field => so applying your knowledge to very unfamiliar situations.

Basically, it's probably going to be the complete reverse of Unit 3 this year, fairly straightforward with some slightly harder questions in MC, with a lot of strength for SA.

Well I've been fairly nice in the MC. But I cannot speak for the SA :P

Yeah, I already wrote the first two questions; they are quite challenging, but I think you guys can do them.
Change of heart, most likely we're talking 6 ext response qns, 3 from each AOS, to a total of 60-70 marks.

I just love the fact that you are in year 12 and writing an exam for which you are currently doing.

goodluck!

Wait, just so to get this clear.

Have you guys finished the unit 4 course already? And have you done enough checkpoints/unit 4 papers to get a feel of what the unit 4 exam is like?

I've finished Unit 4 and have done quite a bit of checkpoints/VCAA exams from pre-2008 that included all the equilibrium stuff, plus I've had a quick browse of current exams to get a taste of what they like to ask.

I can't speak for thushan, however I know he's completed the equivalent of Unit 4 stuff for IChO training - which he is currently jet-setting off as we speak! :) (or at least soon haha)

But I think ultimately, this is more of a training run. The MC won't really have many tricks, but in saying that there also won't be the uncertainty in answers etc, they are all within the course and valuable to know/check your understanding...

Whether we produce a second is another thing, but I'll see how I go. If I come across questions which I feel are highly important, I'll take note and just add them to a collection. If I get enough to fill an exam, then another will be made, but it all depends on how much time and creativity we have left before exams :)
