You can still get a Distinction if you get first 25 correct and don't attempt the last ten questions. It's what I do every year. Also, don't waste time with the last ten questions if you know you can't get them - you would be better off checking your other questions.

lol he is not just "pretty good". If there is someone that I know who could actually beat lolokay, it's that dude.

He is better than our 4 unit teacher, no joke.

How hard is westpac? It's way harder than UNSW crap.

Yr 10 - Yet to be determined!

Westpac is quite hard, you don't have to score quite high to get a High Distinction. In Yr 9 I only got like 18 out of 30 yet still got a High Distinction :).

Which UNSW exam are you talking about. I did the 6 questions 3 hour one in year 9 and walked out after 2 hours because I didn't understand half the damn paper.

ICAS I would assume. 40 mostly easy questions in an hour or so
