Then I went blank and didn't think logically, but i should get a couple of marks for the disposal of the computer. At least i correctly entered the deposit in the the cash payments journal and proceeds into the cash receipt journal. How many marks do you think I will lose out of 8?

Each error would incur -1, so, presuming the bank was not needed to be entered in the GJ, 2-3 marks lost.

I put Cr2O7(2-)

...I forgot the haemoglobin equation

I have no idea so i am going to ask...

Would NaOH be right?

Please don't laugh at gloria if it's totally wrong

mangomousse · 7 Jun 2005, 10:34 PM

No don't worry- not laughing at all
I still can't believe I forgot that haemoglobin one- talk about a gimme

If I've remembered the question right, I think it would either be Cr2O7(2-) or H2SO4.
NaOH would have been used to get from chlorobutane to butanol... I think

There was one that started up last November that had potential

But noone visited it over the summer so it became inactive.

How did the Psych people go today?
I thought the exam was fine, although with those brain research technique questions in the short answer section kinda felt like a waste of marks, as in they weren't really testing very much.

It's times like these that i wished i started learning the course earlier than the day before the exam...
So i finally had my chemistry exam today. After one night of study, or carmming to be more accurate, i thought i was almost ready for the exam. Oh how wrong i was! At first, i thought i would do alright (this was during reading time) but then as i read further, i realised that i was completely SCREWED!! I knew how to do the first two multi choice so i was feeling pretty good about myself. But then i read the other questions and i had no idea how to do them! I conpletely guessed 10 multi choice questions and had some idea with the other eight multi choice but some guees work was still involved. Then came the short answer questions. I was up to the sixth of eight questions after skipping some parts of questions and the supervisor warned us that there was 5 minutes left!! :S

In short, i pretty much failed...

Argh...the gat pisses me off...

But the comic strip about mothers was funny

I want a virtual pet now...

What did you write for the second essay?

vicevirtue · 8 Jun 2005, 5:03 PM

Yea...the Sony Aibo, blogs and internet connectivity graphs...that GAT had a computer related theme going on.

tristan88 · 8 Jun 2005, 5:13 PM

Second response I wrote about how participation in sport is essential for growth and responsibility. I wrote about a page, because the suggested time was up.
Oh well..

Epiphany · 8 Jun 2005, 5:31 PM

Ah the GAT was shit. I finished about an hour before time... had to sit there... longest hour ever. I wrote a grand total of hour and a half pages of nonsense for the writing task. I write on the same topic as teeg, but I trust mine was pretty bad. I was just 'I love sport. Nothing better than a few games of netball.' I tried hard in the GAT last year and did really good, but damn I'm over it now. Poor people who have to read it! The multiple choice involved like no maths. I don't care, the GAT means jack.

I wish I could cram! For chem, I tried a couple of questions and got frustrated because I knew so little.. so walked away!

My aim: a B for Biol and a C for Chem. .

miss_b · 8 Jun 2005, 5:35 PM

All i wrote for the second writting task was that sport takes attention away from academic achievements; that sport provides children with false hopes...

And the gat does matter, kinda...

What if the mis mark one of your science exams

And you would never know about it...

vicevirtue · 8 Jun 2005, 5:42 PM

yea...they tell us the gat does something....I'm sure they're just lying to us so they can waste thousands upon thousands of dollars marking them...

I should've revised more for chemistry.....but doing chemistry questions makes me feel like i'm eating clag...and i never really had a taste for clag...unlike some primary schoolers

tristan88 · 8 Jun 2005, 6:05 PM

I guess the only way the GAT could affect your score is indirectly through statistical moderation, but apart from that... maybe benefit from a second marking of a paper.

Epiphany - I'm hoping for a B too after that exam. <-- Bio

miss_b · 8 Jun 2005, 6:09 PM

I'm hoping for a pass...
