I thought it was very very vague in the short answer, but other than that it was sooo easy.I did 13 pages for section III on food product development, and 10 for the nutrition one. Ohh i love having family members with diabtes for nutrition

(i hate how they never specify between type I and type II) lol

even better when your diabetic and anemic and so's your father is also diabetic

. And you have both food allergies and intolerances too boot, and a mother who is a coeliac.

I was really surprised by the food tech paper, I thought it was hard! My trials (the Catholic ones) were pretty much everything I liked so I guess I went into this one hoping it’d be similar. Hated both the long answer questions, was desperately hoping for something on active non-nutrients, supplements etc. Definitely didn't suit my capabilities and I think it let me down big time. Wasn’t enough on case studies I had done, was really hoping we would have to talk about a company within a sector of the food industry. Even some of the multiple choice threw me off and were confusing. Pretty much all of the past papers I had looked at were easier.

It was decent. The timing of it was killing me though, it was a bloody hot day. ):

caitlin12 · 27 Oct 2009, 6:18 PM

I didn't find the exam too hard. Did anyone else do marketplace? I feel like the only one...
AFI threw me at first but after i looked at it for a while i was ok.

Food tech was sooooo stupid !!!! Y cant we have a prac exam instead :P ....naaa im thinking high 80s will get u into band 6 cut off...maybee 78+ band 5 ....But yea i fink i failed majorly =[

presprincess · 28 Oct 2009, 9:59 PM

multiple choice was stuffed up
what the hell is ethylene ???? and there were a few others that i was unsure of. overall it was ok but i think past papers have been more straightforward. i hope i can get a good band 6 ? what has been the cut off for band 6 in previous years ?

jo-di-e · 29 Oct 2009, 2:51 PM

ummm how the heck do u remember the answers u put in the exam...i cant remember anything i wrote lol.....i thought th emultiple choice was good, the rest absolutely sucked.....we studied Marketplace, i couldnt answer the questions in this very easily or well, and yet i could answer the Nutrition question- but we didnt study that in class

stupid teacher chose marketplace- how boring

Both of the Nutrition long responses kinda threw me a bit... still to this day I have no idea what an "aspect of nutrition" is! Certain we've never used that terminology. I had a heap of time for the essay though, so I included a whole range of information in it- hopefully that covered whatever the "aspects" were.

Also, what was the deal with the descriptive terms? Propose? Comment on? I will admit I haven't looked at my definition sheet for a while, but I was pretty sure these weren't the proper terms they should be using. It caused me a lot of difficulty, working out how much detail to put in a quesiton which asked me to "comment on" preservation principles.

Overall, I think it was pretty fair, though. The questions involved a lot of application of knowledge, which may work for or against me in the end, I'm definitely hoping for. Band 6, I'm pretty confident with.

Like the legislation thing was kinda confusing because all the past papers treated that area very differently and they just decided to change it this year *sigh*

I finished at 4.30 but I felt I had written the most that I possibly could of.

good luck everyone.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH U JESSE LOVE jorjie
