The CSSA chem was quite a hard paper. I had so many questions from all over the place and even had a something that wasn't in the syllabus ><"

I think i did ok though... hopefully

back in 07 they had a slight deviation from syllabus as well.
also i agree with the difficulty a lot of people got lower than expected as well.
typical CSSA paper.
average was about 60% anyway.
those who got 75%+ got band 4 or 5.
very good indicator of what you get in hsc chem.

Maths is the same like that. When I did it last year, my teachers actually had tables which they created from CSSA trial and HSC marks for 4u and 3u.

rofl, shut up!!!
lucky the only calculation i stuffed up was figuring how to find the percentage of sulfate in the fertilizer....forgot how to do that

rofl anna, u hope u do well? i am pretty sure u will do well.

We'll see, but thanks. I completely didn't read a few questions correctly for eg i missed out on the entire hydrogen tube thingy for the galvanic cell... don't ask me how ><"

Hmm that fertilliser question i think i did right gave me quite a large value... i think i did it wrong :S

That sucks

I hope i manage to stay in the top 3 despite misreading questions... gah i should be studying for modern :/

Re: Trial timetables?

Hmm that fertilliser question i think i did right gave me quite a large value... i think i did it wrong :S

i think i got like 2.4% (w/w) of sulfate in it

did anybody else get that??? :S :S :S

also, in the multiple choice

wtf does eutrophication mean? i totally guessed that 1 n sed it was caused by power stations?

A crap i screwed it. I knew the value was too large :burn::burn::burn::burn::burn::burn::burn:
Eutrophication = excessive algal growth caused by an excessive of nutrients (mainly phosphates and sulfates) in water systems.

nahh dont be so sure lol im probably wrong.... i didnt no how to do that one so i just tried my best

Eutrophication = excessive algal growth caused by an excessive of nutrients (mainly phosphates and sulfates) in water systems.

ahhhkk...so does that mean it comes from power stations? lollll >_<

Re: Trial timetables?

Yeah. I got %sulfate as in the 70s. What did everyone get for that Multiple choice question: Eutrophication?

Oh i got it in the 70s too. I thought i had screwed it because with other questions it was usually ~3% but when i checked it i couldn't find an error. Thanks for making me feel better XD

And for the euptrophication i put the plant/garden thingy because i assumed run off from the fertilisers would've caused the eutro. I was thinking of the power stations too but my brain just kept on saying, no they only produce gaseous oxides of nitrogen and sulfate :/
